CHANGING ROOMS 3D VISUALS T
he award-winning Rainbow Leisure Centre in Epsom relied on Safe Space Lockers’ unique 3D design service to
create a private health club changing room experience. The success of Safe Space Lockers’ interior design and 3D rendering service led to the company’s recent launch of a 3D fl y-through service – a virtual walk- through of the layout and design. Dominic Hyett, MD of Safe Space
Lockers, explains: “Many clients see the 3D service as an essential tool, enabling them to visualise exactly how their changing rooms will look prior to commitment. The addition of the 3D video fl y-through will act as a great marketing tool for operators, allowing them to show prospects what they can expect if they take up membership.” Rainbow Leisure Centre, managed by
Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL), chose a combination of walnut veneer lockers and walnut veneer lockers with glass panelled doors. Changing cubicles and benching in walnut veneer were also
installed, along with dry vanity, wet vanity, WC and shower cubicles. GLL was keen that the luxury health club experience continued right through to the detailed features, so card locks were supplied, enabling membership cards to be used to access the club as well as operate the lockers. Non- members are given the option to use a £1 coin to operate the lockers. Hyett continues: “Following the
centre’s success at the 2011 FIA FLAME Awards, this further investment has defi nitely shown the local community that they can receive an excellent standard facility at a very reasonable price.”
The changing rooms feature walnut veneer lockers with glass panels, and card locks for members
GOING KEYLESS C
hampneys has replaced its key-operated changing room locker locks with KitLock digital cabinet
locks in a bid to enhance the spa experience for guests. Previously guests had to secure their locker key to their wrists using a key chain, but many guests wear a robe to relax in while waiting for treatments – and very often would leave key chains in their robe pockets, with many getting lost. Using KitLock CL1200, guests select a four-digit code to secure their changing room locker on arrival, enabling them to enjoy the facilities without having to carry a key. This ‘lock and go’ solution not only offers better security, but also removes the cost of replacing lost or broken keys. “The KitLock solution is more
professional, looks good and, from a guest perspective, the lockers are far more secure as keys are not left lying around in robe pockets,” says Alex De Carvalho, MD at Champneys. “It’s a
£4m spa development at Crow Wood Leisure in Burnley – and this, too, uses a keyless system. Woodland Spa – built alongside

smarter way to control the lockers and, to a certain extent, takes the duty of care away from us, as guests are responsible for using the lockers and selecting their own codes.”
KitLock operates with a single-use code setting. The guest enters a four-digit code, which will lock and open the locker only once, then be erased. The locker stays open until another guest uses a new code. A KitLock CL1200 will perform 50,000 openings on two AAA batteries. Ridgeway Furniture has also just completed changing facilities for the new

Crow Wood’s health club, soccer centre and equestrian centre – offers 10 treatments rooms, therapy areas and therapeutic pool areas. The lockers – a combination of space- saving Z-style lockers and suit lockers, all in a rich walnut veneer fi nish – are complemented by cream banquette- style seating and glazed screens, which include impregnated leaf patterns, designed to offer privacy and intimacy. John Dibble, sales manager at
Ridgeway Furniture, says: “It was imperative that a keyless system was introduced so guests don’t have to carry keys from the pools to treatment rooms and relaxation areas. Using the latest technology and the eye-catching design of the Ojmar digital lock, we created changing rooms that not only look stunning but also work from both a member’s and operator’s perspective.”
