A cabinet, which may have a drawer, is assembled within a locker having side and rear walls and converging front flanges defining a door opening. The cabinet is provided with vertical side panels and at least one horizontal shelf panel. For assembly, the side panels are positioned within the locker against the side walls of the locker, and the shelf panel is mounted between the side panels to space the side panels a sufficient distance so as to prevent the cabinet from being withdrawn from the locker because of the restricted passageway provided by the locker flanges. The cabinet may have a drawer slideable between two parallel, vertically spaced shelf panels, the drawer having a width enabling it to be withdrawn through the door opening of the locker. Disclosed also are bracket means and bracket receiving means enabling ready assembly of the cabinet within a locker.
A kit for assembling a cabinet within a standard locker having rear and side walls and front flanges extending inwardly of the side walls to define a locker door opening, the kit comprising side panels for vertical placement against interior surfaces of the side walls of the locker, the side panels having bracket receiving means on their confronting surfaces including upwardly facing surfaces and rearwardly facing surfaces, and at least one shelf panel positionable horizontally between the side panels with its side edges confronting the respective surfaces of the side panels and spacing the side panels apart a sufficient distance as to prevent their forward removal through the locker door opening, the shelf panel having bracket means including means insertable downwardly into the bracket receiving means, the bracket means having surfaces respectively engageable with the upwardly facing and rearwardly facing surfaces of the bracket receiving means of the side panels for preventing respective downward and forward movement of the shelf panel with respect to the side panels.
