I'm building a new house (again), and planning a dedicated armory room. In addition to slat wall, a workbench and shelving, I want to install about 4' of metal lockers for storing armor, helmets and other gear. I'm looking at some variations on the Salsbury and Penco Patriot -- looking for something with more interior shelving than the typical TA-50 (which normally seems configured as just a metal wardrobe).

Has anyone run into these lockers in their professional lives, and if so, are the hanger rods strong enough for armor? Any other options?
 
Sorry
I couldn’t resist!

Best $125 I've spent probably, great for general gear. This is just a google picture of the same locker.

It was heavier gauge than I thought it would be I just added a lock on the two doors. I have 2 presses in the side above the drawers, but may build wooden shelves inside. My cleaning rods are in the tall door I rivnutted the wall mounted fishing rod holders in the door for them. 2'x3'x6'

This guy wants $350 on eBay...way too high. Guy I got mine from had hundreds of them for 125-175 but that was 2-3years ago
