lockers

Personal storage units

Lockers are storage compartments, typically in a row of similar units, secured with locks.

Schools, gyms, and workplaces provide lockers for personal belongings: I forgot my combination and couldn't get into my locker.

A locker room is where people change clothes, often near athletic facilities—locker room talk refers to crude conversation, especially among men.
