Our range of specially developed water resistant locks are purpose built to provide security and simplicity in wet area locker areas exposed to high levels of humidity and moisture.
In these environments, the components of a traditional locker lock can become compromised over time, presenting a risk to security and ultimately leading to unhappy customers and frequent costly replacements. However, thanks to their corrosion resistant components, IP65 rating as well a whole host of additional design options, our specialized locks are ideal for locker systems fitted within gyms, swimming pools, spas or saunas.
Our water resistant lock range consists of both mechanical and digital locking systems, and while both offer a range of benefits and security features, choosing the perfect locking solution for your facility can be difficult.
In this article, we’ll compare the key highlights of our water resistant mechanical locks and our water resistant digital locks to help you to decide which solution is right for you.
Mechanical Combination Locks (MCLs)
The idea of a mechanical combination lock may seem a little dated, evoking images of an old combination padlock, but with the Lowe & Fletcher range, that couldn’t be further from reality.
Built with high quality corrosion-resistant materials, these locks and their internal components can withstand moisture and chlorine exposure without security being affected, as well as boasting a tough anti tamper design.
Not only that, our range of water resistant mechanical combination locks are about more than just being robust, they also incorporate a range of advanced features that some may have thought impossible for a mechanical solution.
This includes features such as –
- Patented Code Finder Function
- Anti-tamper Design
- Versatile Range (Available in a range of shapes, sizes and finishes)
- Up to 10,000 Code Combinations
- 4 and 3 Digit Combinations Options
- Key Controlled Code Change – no key, no code change.
Mechanical combination locks remove the need for hard wiring and the problems that come with allocating keys, providing efficiency for both operators and customers making them ideal for bustling gyms and sports facilities.

Digital Combination Locks (DCLs)
Want to upgrade your wet area locker system into a smart locker installation? Our range of intelligent digital combination locks offer a modern solution with advanced technological capabilities that ensure optimal efficiency.
Their IP65 rating ensures their ability to withstand direct exposure to moisture, humidity and even harsh chlorinated environments, providing uncompromising performance and streamlined security. Plus, every digital combination lock in our water resistant range features compatibility with our user friendly Remote Allocation System 2.0 (RAS). This unique code management software enables operators to remotely allocate locker codes without even being site.
It also features a seamless self service functionality, meaning that end users can book a locker simply by scanning an on site QR code. Unlike other connected smart locker solutions, smart wet area lockers powered by RAS 2.0 and Lowe & Fletcher digital combination locks require no mains power, no wired or wireless communication and no cloud connection to operate, making installation effortless.
- RFID or Keypad Use
- RAS Compatibility
- Minimalist Design
- Pre-programmed Modes and Codes
- Management Override Key
- Extensive Selection (Wet area, ADA compliant and retro-fit options available)
Available in a wide selection of shapes, sizes and design options, digital combination locks offer a versatile solution for locker security in wet environments. Their advanced features, water resistant design and compatibility with remote allocation technology make them a popular choice.
When to choose DCLs
Enhanced Security
If you require advanced security features like multi-user codes and seamless access allocation, DCLs are ideal.
