Tresor Berlin lockers were introduced at Tresor, making the club the first venue in Berlin to replace its traditional cloakroom with a locker system that guests can use on site. The lockers are free of charge for visitors, for clubgoers and patrons, replacing the paid cloakroom model previously used at many venues. The change aims to counter exploding costs and to keep club visits affordable, according to the reporting on the switch.

The implementation led to the layoff of eight cloakroom staff as the locker system replaced staffed cloakroom operations. None of the affected employees had been hired before 2022, and the works council was involved while help finding follow-up employment was offered to those affected. Two employees explain to guests how to hold their phones and how to access Wi‑Fi as part of the new locker service. The report on the change was published on GROOVE on 2 March 2026.

In a comment to GROOVE, Tresor managing director Diana Alagic described part of the club’s new locker service that involves staff assisting guests with phone handling and Wi‑Fi access. She is quoted directly as saying, “Two employees explain to guests how to hold their phones, how to access Wi‑Fi.” This quoted statement appears in the GROOVE report published on 2 March 2026. Alagic’s remark accompanies the club’s announcement of the locker system.

The club said the approach was intended to maintain access without extra charges.

Available reporting does not supply practical details about how guests use the lockers, including access procedures, security arrangements, item retrieval after events, or whether staff monitor the lockers. Sources also do not indicate if signage, written instructions, or user guides accompany the lockers for first time visitors.

Reports offer only limited information about staff assistance with phone handling and Wi Fi access. They do not describe the scope, timing, or duration of this help, nor whether it is available across all opening hours. For clarity, further reporting would be required to confirm operational details and guest guidance for the new locker system.
