The Lock Up Self Storage

Maleeka is awesome! I had my whole house full of furniture stores here for 6 months and had no issues. She was so easy to work with and always greeted me with a smile. I lost my key on my move out day, only to find it after she went through all the trouble and she was still so sweet to work with. I will come back to this place anytime to store my things! Thank you Maleeka!!!

I was very happy with the high level of customer service provided at this facility. Malika, the manager, knows how to run her business with a high level of service and promptness for all her clients. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Great storage facility! Very clean, well managed, and convenient. Maleeka, the on-​site manager, was always friendly & helpful and remembers everyone by name! We elt very comfortable storing our household possessions here for a few months while in temporary housing (while doing construction) as the space was secure & comfortable temperature/​dry/​etc. Also was able to easily have things delivered here. Lots of moving dollies, huge elevators, etc. Highly recommended!

They did a phenomenal job. My belongings were in perfect condition and Maleeka was so kind and accommodating. I would definitely use them again in a heartbeat!

So many things to comment on here and ALL positive! The facility is very clean and well managed! Units are somewhat unique by size and orientation (Good options). When they say «Climate Controled», they mean it! So, nice to have some of my items stored and not have to worry about the change in weather damaging my items. Maleeka, the facility manager, is very nice and gives you any and all information about the services. They also have controled wine storage units too! Thank you!

I would highly recommend this location (Skokie.) The staff is always accommodating and friendly. The facility is very clean and easily accessible from I94. Also, you can drive in and be out of the elements when the weather is bad.

This facility is incredibly nice and always clean. I am a pharmaceutical rep and I use this storage facility for my samples a promotional items. The units are climate controlled, and the facility seems as if it is brand new because it is so clean. I have been using this facility since May 2012.
Carl is the facility manager and he is extremely nice. He greets you by name when he sees you, and is always very helpful whenever I need anything. The other staff members are very nice too. The fellow tenants also are great– once I accidentally left my unit key on a cart, and they returned it to the front desk. It was nice to see that honesty in the people around me. Also, when my promotional items are shipped in, Carl will get those items into my storage unit for me. When I was booking the unit, Carl let me know about the specials and I was able to get my unit for a discounted price.
The facility is conveniently located right off the highway and it is very easy to get to. I definitely recommend this facility! :-)

I’ve been at this location of The Lock Up for about a year now and from the moment we walked in to look at it, Carl made us feel welcome. He helped us find the right size unit for our needs and has been very helpful along the way. My only complaint would be that if you need to use their truck it has to be within the first few weeks of renting out your unit. I think it would help out their customers if they rented it out to anyone who needed it for just a few hours. We had to rent a U-​Haul just to move a couch a block away. But otherwise the facility is very clean and convenient and I would highly recommend it!

Best storage facility in town. Super friendly service and free truck for move in. Great all around experience!

I have been using this facility for almost 2 years now. As a sales rep it is a necessity for me to store my sales materials somewhere, and living in a tiny apartment in the city provides no storage options. This facility is fantastic. First off, it is CLEAN! I could eat food off the floor, which is unbelievable! I have yet to actually do so, but it’s just that clean. I promise. The gentleman that runs the facility, Carl, is one of the nicest people ever. He appears to know all tenants by name. All the reps I see running in and out, much like myself, all know him and pop their heads into the main office to say «hi Carl» anytime they are in there. He keeps up with what’s going on in everyone’s life, and even tries to help reps network. He introduced me to another rep in my industry which has actually been a big help to us both in our day to day jobs. Additionally, Carl is great about helping us reps out whenever we get a shipment, even getting it into our units for us. I now refuse to use any other storage facilities. This place is top notch! Thanks Carl!
