A balanced look at the strengths of bike lockers and shelters alongside practical considerations for your project.
As cycling grows in popularity for both commuting and recreation, the demand for secure long-term bicycle storage continues to rise across Southern California. Employees and tenants who ride to work need more than a simple outdoor rack — they need enclosed, lockable storage that protects their bicycle from theft, weather, and vandalism throughout the workday. Bike lockers and covered shelters fill this role, providing the highest level of bicycle security available for commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential properties.
Under the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), building owners are legally required to provide long-term bicycle parking for buildings with 10 or more tenant-occupants. Long-term parking must equal 5% of tenant-occupant vehicular parking spaces and must consist of covered, lockable, weatherproof, and permanently anchored storage. Bike lockers and covered shelters with lockable access both satisfy this requirement. RPS Building Specialties provides free CALGreen compliance calculations to help building owners determine the exact number of long-term bike parking spaces needed and the best product solution to meet code.
CycleSafe is the market leader in commercial bike lockers, with their ProPark series using SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) composite material that offers the structural strength of steel while being completely impervious to rust, dents, and corrosion. This makes CycleSafe the premium choice for outdoor installations, especially in coastal Southern California where salt air accelerates metal degradation. Madrax offers the MadLocker line in powder-coated steel with a range of security and color options. Dero provides both individual and shared locker configurations as well as a comprehensive line of bike shelters with modular canopy structures. All three manufacturers produce products specifically engineered to meet CALGreen long-term bicycle parking requirements.
Bike shelters offer an alternative to individual lockers when higher capacity is needed at a lower per-bike cost. Covered canopy structures with integrated racks, steel frames, and translucent polycarbonate roofing provide weather protection while maintaining visibility and natural light. When combined with lockable access gates or perimeter fencing, shelters qualify as long-term parking under CALGreen. RPS Building Specialties installs bike lockers and shelters using surface-mounted methods — expansion anchors and Tapcon screws drilled into existing concrete — across Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County.

Common questions about bike lockers and shelters answered by our bicycle parking specialists.
A bike locker is a fully enclosed, lockable storage unit designed to protect a single bicycle from theft, weather, and vandalism. Bike lockers meet CALGreen long-term bicycle parking requirements because they provide covered, lockable, weatherproof, and permanently anchored bicycle storage — exactly what the code specifies. CycleSafe ProPark lockers, Madrax MadLockers, and Dero lockers are all designed to satisfy these requirements. RPS installs bike lockers surface-mounted on existing concrete using expansion anchors.
Commercial bike lockers are manufactured from powder-coated steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) composite. CycleSafe ProPark lockers use SMC composite, which offers the strength of steel while being completely impervious to rust, dents, and corrosion — making it the premium choice for outdoor installations. Powder-coated steel lockers offer a wide color selection at a moderate price point. For coastal Southern California locations, stainless steel or SMC composite lockers provide the best long-term performance against salt air.
Under CALGreen, long-term bicycle parking must equal 5% of tenant-occupant vehicular parking spaces for buildings with 10 or more tenant-occupants, with a minimum of one bicycle parking facility. For example, a building with 200 tenant parking spaces needs 10 long-term bike parking spaces — which could be 10 individual lockers, 5 double lockers, or a covered shelter with 10 secure rack spaces. RPS provides free CALGreen compliance calculations as part of our site assessment to determine the exact number your building needs.
Bike shelters provide covered parking for multiple bicycles under a single canopy structure at a lower per-bike cost than individual lockers. Shelters with modular configurations can accommodate 2 to 16 or more bikes and can be expanded as demand grows. When combined with lockable access gates or fencing, bike shelters meet CALGreen long-term parking requirements. Individual lockers offer higher security and complete weather protection for each bicycle, making them better suited for high-theft areas or locations where employees store expensive bikes all day.
Yes. RPS Building Specialties installs bike lockers using surface-mounted methods — expansion anchors or Tapcon screws drilled into existing concrete. This is the standard installation approach for existing buildings, tenant improvements, and retrofit projects. Lockers are permanently anchored to the concrete surface as required by CALGreen. If no existing concrete pad is available, a pad must be poured first — RPS coordinates with concrete contractors for this scope and then installs the lockers after curing.
