A locker assembly in a refrigerated cabinet,

• the refrigerated cabinet having an inner wall and at least one outer door;
• the locker assembly being positioned inside the refrigerated cabinet, and comprises a locker door assembly in front of and spaced from vertical and horizontal locker dividers;
• the locker door assembly further comprising a main locker door having separately operable locker doors within the main locker door;
• the main locker door being operably disposed inside of the outer door(s) of the refrigerated cabinet and being spaced from the locker spaces for independent operation;
• the refrigerated cabinet having a cooled space and further having an airflow passage means for flow of air through the cabinet, and the horizontal dividers being so made and arranged for air flow preferentially through the horizontal dividers;
• the vertical and horizontal dividers being located inside the cabinet with the dividers and the inner wall of the cabinet defining locker spaces so that adjacent locker spaces share the inner wall of the cabinet and are located and aligned behind a respective one of the separately operable locker doors of the main locker door when the main locker door is closed;
• wherein the locker assembly is made up of components retro-fitted to the refrigerated cabinet comprising a substantially flat door assembly including a box grid frame defining grid spaces, each grid space having a said separately operable locker door pivoted to the grid frame in each of the grid spaces, the grid frame being supported behind the closable outer door(s) of the refrigerated cabinet by a fitted horizontal base frame section, a fitted horizontal top frame section and fitted vertical frame members set vertically on opposite sides of the locker door assembly and extending between the base frame section and the top frame section, and the vertical dividers comprising fitted flat plates aligned in a vertical plane and being located behind and aligned with corresponding vertical cross members of the box grid frame.
