A well-run toilet partition project is a pleasure: the quote matches the scope, the panels arrive on schedule, and the finished restroom looks exactly like the drawings. Getting there comes down to two good decisions — choosing a proven manufacturer, and choosing a supplier who will measure, deliver, and stand behind the order.
The good news is that both choices are easier than they look. For the manufacturer, Bobrick, Scranton Products, and ASI Group are the names we quote most often, and each one has a clear sweet spot. For the supplier, a short checklist of written commitments tells you everything you need to know. This post walks through both.
Which toilet partition manufacturers should you consider?
Start your shortlist with Bobrick, Scranton Products, and ASI Global Partitions. Each covers a different strength: Bobrick for coordinated partition-and-accessory packages, Scranton for solid plastic (HDPE) and privacy-focused systems, and ASI for comparing several material families under one roof. Metpar and Hadrian round out the list for steel and specialty work.
A manufacturer name is a starting point, not a finish line. The same Scranton panels can arrive on time and square — or late and missing hardware — depending on who you bought them through. We’ll get to that.
Bobrick: coordinated restroom planning
Bobrick makes toilet partition systems alongside the full range of restroom accessories, and it publishes guide specifications that architects and project teams can build on. That makes it a strong fit when you want the partitions, grab bars, dispensers, and mirrors specified as one coordinated package instead of five separate orders.
When you’re pricing a Bobrick system, nail down the partition series, finish samples, and drawings — and confirm separately who is checking site dimensions. Product-selection help is not a site survey.
Scranton Products: the solid plastic specialist
Scranton Products builds HDPE partition systems under the Hiny Hiders, Eclipse, and Aria names. Solid plastic — panels made of dense polyethylene all the way through, not a coating over a core — doesn’t rust, doesn’t delaminate, and shrugs off the cleaners that destroy other materials. That’s why it dominates schools, gyms, and pool areas. Scranton’s privacy options, including overlapping door edges and continuous edge-mounted hinges, address the sightline complaints that drive most restroom renovation requests today.
Before you approve a Scranton quote, ask to see the privacy details on an elevation drawing: door-edge treatment, floor clearance, panel height. A close-up photo of a hinge tells you nothing about what someone sees from the entrance.
ASI Global Partitions: one source for comparing materials
ASI publishes a selection guide spanning solid plastic, powder-coated steel, stainless steel, phenolic, and plastic laminate — useful when you haven’t committed to a material yet and want to compare constructions side by side. If you’re still at that stage, our guide to toilet partition materials walks through where each one earns its cost.
Whoever quotes you an ASI system, make them explain why that material suits your restroom — not just why it’s the cheapest line item. If they propose a substitution, get a revised spec in writing before anyone orders.
What actually makes a partition supplier reliable?
Judge a supplier by what they’ll put in writing, not by how reassuring the sales call felt. On every partition order, four roles need a name attached:
| Role | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Who makes the system, and which product documentation applies |
| Distributor | Who issues the quote, processes changes, and resolves missing parts |
| Installer | Who checks site conditions, installs, and returns for fitting issues |
| Project contact | One named person coordinating all of the above |
When those roles sit in four different companies, every problem becomes a forwarding exercise. This is the practical case for working with a stocking distributor that supplies and installs under one roof: material is on the shelf — including same-day pickup for standard configurations — field measurements and installation are the same company’s responsibility, and there’s exactly one phone number when a latch arrives bent.
Never assume a supply-only quote includes installation, or that installation includes demo of the existing cubicles. Ask for those boundaries explicitly, in writing.
What a complete partition quotation includes
A quote you can actually compare identifies the manufacturer, product series, material, finish, compartment layout, hardware, installation scope, and what triggers production. If an important choice is described only as “standard,” it isn’t decided yet — it’s deferred to whoever interprets it later.
Send every bidder the same brief:
- Location and access — delivery address, unloading, working-hour restrictions, stairs or freight elevator
- Layout — drawings, compartment count, door swings, site photos
- Site responsibility — who takes final measurements and approves shop drawings
- Performance — privacy expectations, cleaning practices, any designer documentation requirements
- Schedule — required completion date, with production, shipping, and installation broken out separately
- Scope — partitions, hardware, freight, taxes, removal, installation, and disposal itemized
Then compare line by line. If one quote includes taller doors or installation and another doesn’t, resolve that before ranking prices. The cheapest number on the page is usually the most incomplete scope.
Check delivery, warranty, and what happens after
Before paying a deposit, tie the schedule to milestones: does production start at payment, drawing approval, or finish approval? Does the lead time end at factory dispatch or at your site? For accessible compartments, have your architect confirm the layout meets the applicable requirements and ask the supplier for the drawings that review needs — a product brochure is not design approval.
Read the actual warranty for the quoted system, not the headline number. Scranton Products, for example, publishes a limited warranty on its solid plastic partitions covering specified failures under normal conditions — the terms, exclusions, and who pays replacement labor are what matter. Finally, ask for a handover package: approved drawings, product identification, cleaning instructions, warranty documents, and a replacement-parts contact. Spare latches ordered up front cost almost nothing; the same latch ordered alone two years later costs a service call.
The Best Toilet Partition Suppliers — and How to Pick the Right One for Your Project: frequently asked questions
Bobrick, Scranton Products, and ASI Global Partitions are proven names for commercial work, with Metpar and Hadrian strong for steel systems. Reliability on your project, though, depends as much on the distributor and installer handling the order as on the brand on the panels.
The manufacturer builds the panels and hardware. The supplier — usually a distributor — quotes, measures, orders, delivers, and often installs. Most order problems (wrong dimensions, missing parts, schedule slips) happen at the supplier level, so vet that company as carefully as the brand.
Not automatically. Many quotes are supply-only, and installation quotes don’t always include removing existing cubicles. Ask for scope boundaries in writing: partitions, hardware, freight, demo, installation, and disposal as separate line items.
Solid plastic (HDPE) is the usual answer for pools, locker rooms, and gyms — it won’t rust or delaminate and tolerates aggressive cleaning. Phenolic is the step up for high-traffic or upscale spaces. Powder-coated steel remains the budget workhorse for drier restrooms.
It depends on material, color, and whether the configuration is standard or custom — and whether your supplier stocks material locally. Standard powder-coated and stainless configurations can be available for same-day pickup from a stocking distributor, while custom colors and phenolic typically run several weeks.
