OUR HISTORY
The 1980s — Built From the Ground Up
Longhorn Lockers began as a small, family-run operation rooted in hard work, craftsmanship, and trust. In the early 1980s, John Allen put his remodeling business on hold and started a locker company out of his barn. Operating as John Allen Construction Co., the company focused on the assembly and installation of steel lockers for manufacturers throughout North Texas.
The business was truly a family effort. Everyone played a role, and it was during this time that Sam Allen began working in the locker industry, learning firsthand how lockers were built, installed, and refined across a wide range of projects. These early years shaped not only the company’s skill set, but its values—commitment, accountability, and pride in doing things the right way.
The 1990s — Raising the Standard
In the 1990s, the locker company was sold, and John Allen shifted his focus to installing high-end custom wood lockersin country clubs and fitness centers. The work quickly expanded beyond Texas.
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, John Allen Construction traveled extensively, installing lockers in some of the most prestigious PGA golf courses and private country clubs in the United States. These environments demanded precision craftsmanship, consistency, and a level of quality that left no room for shortcuts—standards that became deeply ingrained in the company’s culture.
The 2000s — A New Era Begins
After serving in the United States Marines, Sam Allen returned to the locker industry with a clear vision and disciplined leadership. In the early 2000s, Longhorn Locker Company was formed, building on decades of experience while setting its sights on something bigger.
In 2005, the business was officially incorporated as Longhorn Locker Company, LLC, marking a new chapter focused on innovation, growth, and fully custom locker solutions.
Now — Setting the Standard in Custom Locker Rooms
Today, Longhorn Lockers has grown into a nationally recognized leader in custom locker rooms, serving major NFL teams, Division I athletic programs, and professional hockey and soccer organizations across the country. Our portfolio continues to expand, and so do our capabilities.
Despite that growth, the heart of the company has never changed. We started as a small family business, and we still operate with that same family-first mindset. Our team works closely together, and our customers are treated the same way—with honesty, respect, and long-term commitment. To us, every project is personal, and every client is part of the Longhorn family.
What truly sets us apart is that everything is done in-house. We design, engineer, manufacture, assemble, and install every locker ourselves. Nothing is outsourced. Our facility is equipped with custom CNC machines, advanced woodworking equipment, routers, shapers, and specialized fabrication tools, allowing us to control every detail from start to finish.
Because of this, our team—not a third party—creates every solution, ensuring unmatched quality, consistency, and accountability.
Longhorn Lockers continues to grow, innovate, and take on larger and more complex projects, while staying grounded in the values that started it all. We’ve gotten bigger—but we’ve never stopped being family.
