Improve everything. Always. In all ways.

Kingsley® has been around for over 60 Years. We invented the first library book return a long, long time ago. We’ve re-invented it hundreds of times since. The first in advancements like one-hand deposits, fire suppression, ADA Compliant, theft deterrence, higher capacities, weather resistance, safety, powder coated finishes, and now new aluminum alloy construction that can never rust and resists dents better than steel.

A return for relaxing.

This is what a day off looks like

Our singular goal in designing the Supermax™ Series was to provide hard working librarians a day off. We added immense capacity for long weekend and holiday collections and beefed up security to ease worrying, Enjoy your hobbies. Have fun with the kids. Enjoy life. With book capacities to 560, 760, or 1120, don’t worry about emptying the book return.

Library Return Features

A return for relaxing.


We invented the dualDrop™.
We perfected it.
No one has equaled it.


Two side-by-side kwikDrop depository openings. Books through one, media through the other. Or, books through both. Or, media through both. We don’t judge. A divided cart designed to accommodate two different products can be very useful for various purposes, such as organizing, sorting, or transporting items. Perfect for libraries that want to sort out media cases ahead of time and have a lower volume of book returns.

Outdoor Features

Kingsley outdoor depositories are the industry standard for features and quality. All our outdoor depository units are built to last with the following features:

Aluminum sheet metal

Durable, Rust-free Aluminum

Our outdoor returns are made from aircraft grade aluminum alloy. This aluminum alloy is stronger than comparable gauge stainless steel and more dent resistant. It will never rust or corrode like steel so your unit will remain structurally sound for years to come. It will also never streak or discolor like stainless steel. This makes our returns hold up better in coastal areas and where roads are salted for snow.

Book being deposited with one hand

Drive-up and ADA Compliant for Walk-ups

All Kingsley outdoor depositories are 53-54” in height allowing them to be used for drive-up deposits from all vehicles including SUVs and trucks. They are also ADA Compliant for walk-up deposits when properly installed. Our KwikDrop depository openings allow for easy one-handed deposits. All units come standard with large, high contrast text of your choosing. Self-adhesive braille labels are sold separately.

Outdoor return colors - Blue, Luster, Sandstone, Bronze, Graphite, Black, and White

Beautiful Powder Coat with Specialty Finish

Each unit comes in your choice of 7 different standard powder coat finishes. The powder coat is sealed with a clear coat that is both anti-graffiti and anti-microbial. It allows you to easily remove paint and marker with solvents and kills or slows the growth of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi such as mold and mildew. This brilliant glossy finish also provides UV protection against fading and scratch resistance. With a little maintenance, it will keep your unit looking new for years to come.

Drip Rail close up

Weather Resistant

Units come standard with various weather-resistant features. All seams are sealed to keep liquids out. New units come with a pre-installed drip rail to protect the top of the access door from rain and snow. The access door has a paddle handle that covers the lock to keep out ice and debris. Additionally, all outdoor units have fully ramped bottoms so deposited items stay above the ground and any water on it.

Outer and inner lock views

Theft Deterrent

We take the security of your items seriously. Our outdoor returns are built to be both theft deterrent and vandal resistant. Depository openings and chutes are constructed to prevent thieves from pulling anything out. The unique inter-locking seams prohibit them from being pried apart. Every access door is attached with a full-length piano hinge. The three free sides of the door are secured with a commercial grade three-point lock so you can be confident that it will stay shut.

Fire Extinguisher

Fire Suppressant

Our units are sealed so well for weather protection that they are also fire suppressant. They have the ability to smother a flame inside the unit in roughly a minute to keep damage to a minimum.

360 degree hood rotation

Rotatable Hoods

The tops of our single hood outdoor depositories can rotate 360°. For dual hood Supermax Versa models, each hood can rotate 270°. This gives you the ability to place the opening and access door(s) in any configuration you need to fit your space.

Pink book return with custom decal

Custom Colors & Graphics

We know that one size never fits all and personal touches are important. Our standard vinyl decals include options for wording and graphics to help you properly convey the purpose of your unit. We also take orders for custom powder coat colors, wording, and graphic decals. Contact us and we’ll be happy to give you a quote for your custom unit.

Leaf

Environmentally Conscious

All Kingsley outdoor return hoods, cabinets, and carts are constructed of up to 85% recycled aluminum alloy and are 100% recyclable. Our powder coating process allows no pollutants or hazards to enter the environment. There are no harmful toxins used throughout the manufacturing process.
