This Osculati locker with lid offers a practical solution for built-in storage on your boat. The unit includes a sturdy plastic frame with a door and a deep back housing (bin) behind it, forming a mini-cabinet that you can recess into a console, bench, or bulkhead. Its dimensions make it suitable for a variety of uses: with an internal clear opening of 285×285 mm and a depth of about 24 cm, the locker can hold anything from tools and navigation charts to snacks, beverages, or safety gear. The outer flange of 375×375 mm covers the cutout and gives a finished look, with the frame sitting almost flush against the mounting surface for a neat installation.
Material and durability: It’s built from high-quality white plastic (ABS/ASA) that is UV-resistant – it won’t yellow or become brittle from sun exposure. The material is also impact-resistant, so the lid and walls won’t crack under vibration or minor blows. Since the entire unit is plastic, there are no metal parts to corrode – ideal for marine conditions. The inner bin is made of polyethylene or a similar polymer, which is lightweight and easy to clean (you can simply rinse it out if something spills inside).
Lid design: This model features an “L-front” design, meaning the hinge of the lid is positioned for a front-opening action similar to a small door (commonly hinged at the bottom so the lid opens downward like a little shelf, or sometimes hinged on the side). This allows easy access to the contents even if the locker is mounted low. The lid sits snug when closed, helping to keep rain and spray out (while not fully waterproof under submersion, it will keep the interior dry in normal conditions). It has an integrated handle or recess for convenient opening. If desired, you can add a latch or lock – the product is compatible with Osculati’s lock kit 20.093.00, which is useful if you want to secure valuables inside.
Use cases:
- Console glove box: Install the locker in the console of a powerboat or RIB to store documents (registration, insurance papers), charts, sunscreen, keys, and small items safely out of the elements (and lockable if needed).
- Galley/cabin storage: In the cabin or cockpit, use the compartment to stow cups, utensils, packaged foods or spices – everything stays organized and tucked away, with no risk of items falling out when the boat heels or bounces.
- Tool cabinet: For yachts and boats short on space, this locker can serve as a mini tool chest – holding screwdrivers, wrenches, spare bulbs and other necessities. This keeps them quickly accessible without rummaging through large hold compartments.
- Tackle box: Mount the locker on a fishing boat’s side and keep tackle inside – small lure boxes, hooks, lines, and accessories. When you’re stationary, the lid opens and can even act as a small tray while you change lures or rigs.
Installation requires cutting a square opening of roughly 300×300 mm in the desired panel or bulkhead. The locker’s frame has pre-drilled holes for screws – insert it into the cutout, secure it with stainless screws, and apply sealant under the flange for a watertight fit. Then attach the door/lid on its hinge (if it isn’t pre-attached) and the locker is ready to use. The Osculati 20.316.00 locker offers a combination of sleek appearance and functionality, adding valuable storage space to your boat without disrupting the interior or exterior aesthetics.
