PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a locker device for enabling a user to select his or her desired storage part by a simple operation. SOLUTION: This locker device 1 having a front face formed like a rectangle, and storage parts 2 vertically and horizontally arranged is provided with: an electronic type locking part for locking/unlocking the door of each storage part; imaging parts 23 arranged at the both ends of one side on the front face of the locker device, and equipped with a light source part and an image sensor part; a retroreflection frame 24 arranged at three sides excluding a side connecting the two imaging parts; and an arithmetic part 29 for inputting imaging information of the image sensor part. The light source part is arranged so that the optical axis of irradiation light may travel toward an opposite corner part along the front face of the locker device, and the image sensor part is arranged so that the light obtained by the reflection of the irradiation light by a retroreflection frame can be received, and a portion of the light to be received by the image sensor is shielded by touching the front face of the storage part with a finger for selection, and an arithmetic part calculates the position of the selected storage part by a triangulation method on the basis of the imaging information including light shielding information.
