The cabinet (20) is configured to receive a door (12, 14, 16) mounted to one side of the cabinet by means of a hinge arrangement. The hinge arrangement includes one or more knuckles (30) defined on the door, and a series of projections (32) extending along the one side of the cabinet, spaces being defined between the projections (32) for receiving a knuckle (30) of a door therebetween. The support means (40) are defined adjacent the projections (32) and between the recesses moulded. The cabinet is moulded with a closed front face and the front face is selectively removed to define one or more apertures. Next one or more dividers or shelves is/are inserted into the cabinet as required and one or more doors are attached to the cabinet. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cabinet for forming a locker, the cabinet having a rear wall, a top, a base and opposed side walls, the side walls defining support means for supporting side edges of a shelf or cabinet divider, wherein the cabinet is configured to receive a door mounted to one side of the cabinet by means of a hinge arrangement, the hinge arrangement including one or more knuckles defined on the door, and a series of projections extending along the one side of the cabinet, spaces being defined between the projections for receiving a knuckle of the door therebetween wherein the support means are defined adjacent the projections, and between the spaces. ### Claim 2 A method of making a locker using a cabinet having a rear wall, a top, a base and opposed side walls, the side walls defining support means for supporting and the side edges of a shelf or cabinet divider, wherein the cabinet is configured to receive a door mounted to one side of the cabinet by means of a hinge arrangement, the hinge arrangement including one or more knuckles defined on the door, and a series of projections extending along the one side of the cabinet, spaces being defined between the projections for receiving a knuckle of a door therebetween wherein the support means for supporting are defined adjacent the projections and between the recesses molded wherein the cabinet is molded with a closed front face and including the steps of: selectively removing the front face to define one or more apertures; inserting one or more dividers or shelves into the cabinet as required; and attaching one or more doors to the cabinet. ### Claim 3 A locker including a cabinet and at least one door, the cabinet having a rear wall, a top, a base and opposed side walls, the side walls defining support means for supporting the side edges of a shelf or cabinet divider, wherein the door is mounted to one side of the cabinet by means of a hinge arrangement, the hinge arrangement including one or more knuckles defined on the door, and a series of projections extending along the one side of the cabinet, spaces being defined between the projections for receiving a knuckle of a door therebetween wherein the support means are defined adjacent the projections and between the recesses. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A locker as claimed in claim 3, further including a means for locking the door using a padlock, lock or the like. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) A locker as claimed in claim 3 further including three sets of shelf support means disposed on opposed side walls of the cabinet, said shelf support means being defined by a pair of projecting ribs extending into the interior of the cabinet with corresponding recesses defined in the exterior of the cabinet. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) A locker as claimed in claim 3 wherein the cabinet of the locker is manufactured in one piece, preferably by roto-molding as a rectangular parallelepiped having six faces with the front of the cabinet closed by means of an integrally molded sheet of material with the front sheet being selectively trimmed/removed after molding depending on the number and size of the lockers to be made from the cabinet. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) A locker as claimed in claim 6 wherein one or more apertures are then cut in the front sheet of plastic corresponding to the number and size of the doors to be attached to the cabinet. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the number of apertures defined in the front face correspond to the number of doors attached.
