How to Make a Wall Locker

Walls in your home that are not being utilized can be used as a wall locker for additional storage. To do this you will need to create the locker from a section of wall between two studs. A similar unit that does not have a door to open and close is a recessed shelf. You can make a wall locker by determining where on a wall that you want to build the wall locker.
