I parked my Quickbeam in a steel bike locker at Ashby BART for several years. I never worried about anyone stealing my bike - principally because there were so many other bikes nearby in racks that were much easier targets (cheap lock, etc.). Now that I think about it, the locking mechanism on all the bike lockers I have used so far was of the same type as the mechanism on a Kryptonite U-lock which was easily defeated with the barrel of a Bic pen several years ago. I think the best bet is to get a good steel locker, bolt it to the ground and use a Mul-t-lock to secure the door.
