Three-point locking

[5] This system uses a "Latch Channel" with 3 vertical slots that attach to 3 hooks on the locker frame.

Three point lock are also commonly used in wardrobes, like from Hettich[6][7] Single-point locking may provide adequate security for some situations on tiered lockers, as the doors are shorter, and therefore more difficult to force open; however, the taller doors of full length lockers and cabinets are more susceptible to the application of leverage.

This is the reason three-point locking is usually found on single-tier lockers, and is certainly highly recommended in cases where it is optional.

This name is incorrect because only two pins or rods are involved, the third locking point being the latch itself inside the door.

In Australia, a locker or cabinet under certain weight limits cannot be legally used to store firearms unless it uses three-point locking and is bolted to either the floor or a wall.
