With such an extensive product selection, you may have a few questions, so we\u2019ve compiled some frequently asked questions to ask our experts to make the process as simple as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I order a Bespoke Option?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easy answer is YES! For many of our products, we can offer bespoke options such as different sizes, finishes, worktops and accessories to make the item customisable for your workplace requirements. Bespoke orders are particularly common when buying workbenches, lockers and barriers where you may need a load capacity or specific requirement beyond our product selection. Our team of experts will work with you by drawing up CAD Designs, free site visits and more to ensure the design meets all your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you offer Installation Services?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Many of our customers opt for installation for projects such as lockers, workbenches, security barriers and cycle shelters. Lockers can be bolted onto the wall for extra security, to prevent them from falling. In addition, both security safety barriers and cycle shelters can be bolted into the ground for security which our installation team can complete. It is ideal for barrier projects, with our team taking responsibility for planning and organising the walkway to protect the equipment you need, whilst installing efficiently to save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst you cannot add installation services when checking out online, if you contact our friendly team we can add this to your quotation to book our team in. P.S. If you are requesting a quote simply tick yes to installation for this to be included in your quotation. \ud83d\udd27<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I get Trade Discount?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer a specialist trade membership which enables you gain exclusive benefits as well as future discounts.

We know you want the best deal &#8211; that&#8217;s why we price match for all like-for-like products. Whether it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/hazardous-storage-handling\/coshh-cabinets.html\">CoSHH Cabinets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/handling-lifting\/lifting-equipment\/scissor-lift-tables.html\">Scissor Lifts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/lockers.html\">Lockers<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/workbenches.html\">Workbenches<\/a>, we can price match for your upcoming project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, if you&#8217;re buying more than 5+ of a particular item, don&#8217;t forget to get in touch for bulk-buy discounts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve found it cheaper elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/contact\/\">contact our sales team<\/a> who can back to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get a site visit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can request a site visit via our website on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/request-a-quote\">Request a Quote<\/a> by ticking the site visit. A site visit is where our specialist team will come down to your premises, allowing time to measure up, establish your needs and provide recommendations and free advice to help you on your latest project. A site visit is ideal for large projects with multiple products such as racking, lockers, workbenches, site barriers and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following our site visit, we go away and create CAD designs of your project for any bespoke options and plan out your space to utilise every corner. \ud83d\udccd<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do we order with branded colours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Online, we sell our items as standard, but requesting a quote or site visit allows you to specify any branded and bespoke options you require. Across many of our projects, we have implemented branded colours to reflect your brand and match your interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1Get some inspo &#8211; Check out one of our favourite branded projects in our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/corporate-colours-our-recent-project\/\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Branded projects are a common request across lockers, workbenches and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/workbenches\/drawer-cabinets.html\">Euroslide cabinets<\/a> for garages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are your items delivered assembled?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison to cheaper products on the market, many of our products come fully assembled ready to go, saving you both time and hassle. Across our website, our products come fully assembled unless stated otherwise in the product description.  Products such as workbenches are fully assembled with your own assembly of under-bench storage. This allows you to place the storage to suit your personal preference as well as any above-bench accessories you&#8217;ve purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, our products that come pre-assembled include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lockers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hazardous Cupboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cupboards &amp; Cabinets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Tail Lift Delivery?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Tail lift delivery is an optional extra that you can add to your basket when shopping for products on our website. It is typically ideal for heavier products that would require extra strength for offloading. Adding the tail lift delivery means you will have a smoother delivery process with the driver offloading from the back of the vehicle using a tail lift and placing your order kerbside for you to receive the order. This prevents you from manually offloading your order to prevent the order from being rejected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note: All of our deliveries are kerbside, although we offer installation services if required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9468\" style=\"width:381px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_1978163974-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Answering your product FAQ&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, we are answering the frequent questions we get asked by you, the customer! These are often across our live chat feature as well as phone calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the difference between cam lock and swivel latch locks for lockers?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A cam lock is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/lockers\/standard-lockers.html\">standard locker<\/a> option, that restricts access to belongings with the use of 2 keys supplied. This is ideal to give responsibility to older students and is ideal for those using the same locker everyday. In comparison, a swivel latch lock turns but does not securely lock without the use of your own padlock. This is ideal for locker compartments that require access or are shared e.g use in gyms and primary schools. \ud83d\udd10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/lockers\/standard-lockers.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/armour-lockers-cam-lock-close-up-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cam lock option\" class=\"wp-image-9460\" style=\"width:268px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/armour-lockers-cam-lock-close-up-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/armour-lockers-cam-lock-close-up-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/armour-lockers-cam-lock-close-up-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/armour-lockers-cam-lock-close-up-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/armour-lockers-cam-lock-close-up-1-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cam Lock Option<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/lockers\/standard-lockers.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/114080991-swivel-latch-1.jpg\" alt=\"swivel latch lock\" class=\"wp-image-9461\" style=\"width:273px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/114080991-swivel-latch-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/114080991-swivel-latch-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/114080991-swivel-latch-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/114080991-swivel-latch-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/114080991-swivel-latch-1-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Swivel Latch Lock Option<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I store in a CoSHH Cabinet?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what the work environment, there will be items that are seen as everyday yet are still dangerous in the wrong hands. For example, items to be stored in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/hazardous-storage-handling\/coshh-cabinets.html\">CoSHH Cabinets<\/a> include cleaning agents such as bleach, aerosols, paints, chemicals and more. A cabinet will collect any spillages or leaks in the bottom sump for an easy cleanup using absorbents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does UDL mean?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>UDL stands for uniformly distributed load. This reflects the load capacity for the item and how the weight load must be spread across the equipment. Across our website, it is commonly referred to for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/shelving-storage.html\">shelving <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/workbenches.html\">workbenches<\/a> to ensure products and equipment are not placed solely on one side, but evenly distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does ESD mean?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>ESD is short for electrostatic discharge.

To solve this, we recommend booking a free site visit to assess your layout.

In addition, you can shop using kits including straight kits, corner kits and Z-style corner kits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do the New Regulations affect my bin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From 31 March 2026, councils will roll out a scheme to all households in England where food waste must be separated from general waste. This is a legal requirement in the \u2018Simpler Recycling\u2019 regulations, created by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs. It is something all households will need to comply with and involve using several waste bins to segregate your waste prior to collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the new Regulations, please read our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workplace-products.co.uk\/blog\/are-you-ready-for-the-new-food-waste-regulations\/\">here<\/a>. \u267b\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As leading UK suppliers, we offer a wide range of workplace essentials designed to transform your workspace.
