The Big Metal Locker is a tall welded storage locker for a base. The tooltip says it is for storing all the loot a survivor brings home.
It belongs to Welding and sits in the Furniture section of the Building menu. It comes as a Shoddy version and a finished version. Both use the same materials. The finished tier asks for a far higher Welding level.
A locker is a sturdy alternative to wooden storage. It suits a welder who has a stock of pipe and sheet metal and wants storage made of steel.
How to Build Big Metal Locker
Both tiers take a Welding Torch, Steel Sheet - Small, Iron Pipe, Door Hinge and Welding Rods. The list does not change between tiers.
The Shoddy tier needs Welding level 3. The finished tier needs Welding level 10, the top of the skill. The higher tier gives more Welding XP for each build.
Both recipes must be learned first. Welder Monthly - May 1993 teaches them. The Welder occupation knows them from the start.
Each version of the Big Metal Locker has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.
It needs Welding level 3. Building it gives 30 Welding XP. The recipe has to be learned first.

How to Use Big Metal Locker
The locker is a container. Items go in and out through the usual container window.
A built locker can be picked up and moved. This needs Carpentry level 4 and a hammer. Placing it again also takes a hammer.
Taking it apart for metal is a Welding job. It needs a Welding Torch and a welder mask. Dismantling returns steel sheet, steel pieces, steel chunks, nuts and bolts and scrap metal, with some luck involved. A failed attempt leaves Sheet Metal Scrap.
Build Tiers
The Shoddy tier opens at Welding level 3. It is the one most welders build first. The finished tier needs Welding level 10 and gives a cleaner look. The cost is the same, so the only gate is skill. Build Shoddy lockers early and switch to the finished tier once Welding reaches the top.
Each version of the Big Metal Locker is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.

- The Welder occupation knows the recipe from the start.
- Moving a built locker needs Carpentry level 4 and a hammer.
- Dismantling needs a Welding Torch and a welder mask.
- Dismantling returns steel and scrap that feed other welding builds.
