Here's my take... They wouldn't even need conduit. The locker meets the requirements for a hinged cover junction box.

Not crazy about the cast coupling.
Then i would shoot it down from supporting it to a metal struture (not strutual building) that can be changed out. Locker changeouts about every 20-30 years around here and yes that metal backing is the LOCKER.
Also it is arguemental that the EMT is subject to severe physical damage. Kids these days i literaly seen a high schooler kicking inside his locker at least 10 times full force.
Okay i just dont like it FAILED

Your made up code articles will not fly around here,,,,EMT inside an enclosure is not subject to severe physical damage. And there's no violation in the way it's supported. There's block behind the locker, .How do you know the anchor is not in the block? If you think there is an actual violation ,,,,show me a code article that prohibits the way this pipe is braced. Around here, it's put up or shut up.

I agree with Bob...there is not anything in the NEC that restricts STORING EMT in a locker.

I'm sorry to hear that. Would you rather it be a titanium coupling?

Minnie? Is that short for minerallac? We call them cowboys around here, but I've heard the term minerallac before.
Anyway, Chicago has code on how far support has to be from couplings?

Peter D. was that your locker at school? I find no code violation for that installation. I don't think it could be a hinged gutter however, due to listing requirements . Creative yes, fail no.

Do you really think this locker is going to get assigned to a student now?

Could someone constitute a locker as a closet?

Yes, but is it listed for use?

Can't say I like it, but what if you had no other choice whatsoever? Say you had a choice between the outside of the school and the inside of a locker to run the feeder. I would have made sure that the door was screwed shut though.
Or maybe, if possible, I suppose one could cut the back of the locker out with a sawzall or something and run the conduit directly on the block behind it.
