Evening one and all,
I wonder if anyone has come across this one before?
A duty engineer on 24-hour call out sometimes needs to get hold of parts at night.
"(In Kleinkleckersheim) gibt es für solche Fälle ein eigenes Zwischenlager mit Nachtschleuse."
So there's some kind of satellite store where the facility exists to book parts out 24/7 - I could write a descriptive circumlocution of course, but does one of you know an off-the-peg concept that sums it up? Context is a job description in an in-house publication, so for semi-technical readership.
Thanks as always for your help

Comment: "Thanks all - Fred's late addition of 'off-hours' gave me the idea for "out of hours facility" which was vague/precise enough for the context
Cheers

night chute
Usually a 'schleuse' or 'chute' is used to drop off items at a place outside of normal business hours (such as a bank). This may be along the same lines, except that items can be obtained through a chute as well.
