Climate-Controlled Storage Units

While standard self storage units work well for many common household items, temperature-sensitive belongings often require an extra layer of reassurance against heat waves and deep freezes. At The Lock Up Self Storage, we understand the importance of peace of mind for your belongings. That’s why we offer state-of-the-art climate-controlled storage units in a wide variety of sizes!

With our climate-controlled storage units’ regulated environments, you can rest easy knowing your items are shielded from extreme temperatures 24/7.

What Is Climate-Controlled Storage?

Climate-controlled storage refers to storage units that maintain a consistent temperature range. Unlike non-climate-controlled spaces, which warm up and cool down in response to outside weather, our climate-controlled units use air conditioning and heating to prevent extreme temperature fluctuations. With a climate-controlled storage unit, you can better prevent issues such as warping, cracking, and melting.

Common Items That Benefit From Climate-Controlled Storage

Regardless of where you live, consider climate-controlled storage if you plan to store items that are sensitive to extreme heat or cold. Common belongings we recommend keeping in a climate-controlled storage unit include:

  • Collectibles. Provide a cool, dry space for collectibles such as vintage furniture, stamps, coins, comic books, and sports memorabilia.
  • Wooden and leather furniture. Prevent wwaping, cracking, and splitting.
  • Electronics. Ideal for computers, TVs, audio equipment, gaming systems, and cameras.
  • Musical instruments. Help pianos, guitars, violins, and other instruments maintain their structural integrity and sound quality.
  • Photographs. Paintings, sculptures, prints, and photo albums are better shielded from fading, cracking, and deterioration.
  • Documents and books. Help prevent yellowing, fading, brittleness, and curling.
  • Wine collections. Certain Lock Up locations offer specialized wine storage, maintaining ideal cellar-like conditions for preservation and aging.
  • Medical supplies. Create more stability for sensitive products and medications.

Should I Rent Climate-Controlled Storage?

Residents and businesses in areas prone to heat waves, such as Florida and Hawaii, and regions with harsh winters, like Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York, particularly benefit from climate control.

Are you planning to store your belongings for several months, or even years? Prolonged exposure to inconsistent conditions can cause cumulative damage, making climate control even more crucial for your self storage plan.
