What to Look for in a Secure Storage Unit (And Why Max Storage Delivers)

When you're storing personal belongings, business tools, or even a vehicle, security isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a dealbreaker. At Max Storage in Windsor Locks, CT, we know how important it is for our customers to feel confident that their items are protected around the clock. That’s why security is at the center of everything we do. If you’re comparing options for storage units in Windsor Locks, here’s what to look for—and how we deliver.

24-Hour Access with Gated Entry

Security doesn’t mean limited access. Max Storage - Windsor Locks gives you the best of both worlds with 24/7 access and a fully fenced, keypad-controlled gated entry. You can come and go on your own schedule—without worrying about whether your items are being protected while you’re away. This is especially helpful for contractors or travelers who may need early morning or late-night access.

Our facility, located at 66 Lawnacre Road near I-91, is built for convenience without compromising security. Only tenants with unique access codes can enter through the gate, and each storage space is ground-level for fast, drive-up access. Whether you're grabbing tools for a job or checking on your RV before a trip, you can get in and out quickly, securely, and stress-free.

Security Camera Coverage

At Max Storage, we don’t cut corners when it comes to surveillance. The property is equipped with modern security cameras that continuously monitor activity throughout the facility. This provides an added layer of protection and helps deter unauthorized access or suspicious behavior.

Whether you’re renting a compact 5x10 unit or a 10x25 storage space, every tenant benefits from the same security features. Our cameras act as both a preventative measure and a tool for ensuring your items remain safe 24 hours a day. It's part of our commitment to making sure your belongings are watched over even when you're not here.

Fencing and Lighting

A secure facility starts with a well-maintained perimeter. Max Storage - Windsor Locks is fully fenced, helping to keep out unauthorized visitors. Bright, strategically placed lighting across the property enhances visibility at all hours and offers a greater sense of safety when visiting your unit after dark.

Proper lighting not only boosts security—it makes using your unit more practical. Whether you're accessing your vehicle parking space or moving boxes into a 10x20 unit, our lighting ensures you can do so safely, no matter the time of day or season.
