Loanroom — Free Equipment Lending Dashboard Template
Loanroom follows a piece of equipment from the shelf to a borrower and back into circulation. Availability is derived from active loans and maintenance holds, so an item cannot be checked out twice or lent while it needs service. A damaged return needs a note, and releasing it from maintenance needs a resolution. These three connected screens are useful starting points for an equipment room, school lending desk or studio operations application. All names, serials and handovers are fictional and stored only in the browser. A real service needs authenticated storage and server-side checkout checks.
Key features
- Three pages: equipment register, loans and returns, maintenance
- Individually serialized assets with duplicate serial rejection
- Search and availability filters with summary counts
- Immediate checkout with borrower and bounded due date
- Active loan blocks a second checkout of the same asset
- Overdue status against a clearly labelled fixed demo date
- Returns keep a condition and immutable handover note
- Service-needed returns stay unavailable until a resolution is recorded
- Local handover/service history and light/dark themes

How to use it
Unzip loanroom and open index.html in a browser. Edit the HTML copy, the demo arrays in js/main.js and the palette in css/style.css. The supplied Bootstrap files are self-hosted, so there is no build step or external script dependency. Changes are stored only in this browser; connect your own authenticated API before using real records. Deploy the folder to any static host.
