With a little momentum this could have been done without lockers. But good example anyway.

You have choices....air, electric and automatic. Each have their pros and cons.

What is your budget?

I forgot another choice...manually operated.

$1000 would get you just about any selectable locker you want but no labor. If you go air locker like ARB you will also need to factor in cost of an air compressor or a bottle.

Auto lockers are the most budget friendly. You could definitely do one of these installed for way less than $1000
