Read some helpful reviews of Lock Up Self Storage, The at 2525 West Armitage Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

This is an excellent choice for your climate-controlled storage needs without the concern of excess billing. Simple, fast, secure - more intuitive than most Lockups. Michelle was hands-down the best manager i've ever had the pleasure of working with. We have stored for years with her, primarily due to her competence and professional demeanor. It was an easy and intuitive process to store here, and while a couple associates have come and gone, Michelle has always been a familiar and trusted face at this facility. Fast, friendly, affordable, secure. ... Read more

I recently rented a storage unit at The Lock Up in Bucktown. My experience so far has been positive and would recommend them for the following reasons: From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome. They patiently answered all my questions and helped me choose the right unit size for my needs. A special shoutout to the facility's manager, Michelle. She was really great throughout the process - Thanks Michelle! The facility is very clean and well-lit. Security is important for me, and I feel confident that my belongings are safe. I also appreciate the flexible access hours. They provide dollies and carts for moving items, which saved me a lot of effort during my move-in. The online payment system is straightforward. Thanks again, Michael ... Read more

The storage facility itself is great, however the rates go up the longer you keep the unit. Over the past three years the rate for my rent has gone up incrementally and now costs $150 dollars more per month. I would understand this situation if rates in general were rising due to demand and inflation. However, if I was to go online and rent the same size unit at the same location today, the published rate is the same as the rate I had in 2020. You can draw your own conclusions about what this implies about the Lock Up's business model. ... Read more

LockUp Storage is a truly outstanding facility that has made my storage experience incredibly easy and stress-free. The units are easy to access via two loading docks and there are always plenty of carts. What truly sets LockUp Storage apart is their remarkable customer service. Samantha, the manager, is such a saint. She is willing to work with customers needs and goes the extra mile. Couldn't recommend higher. ... Read more

Feels silly leaving a review for a storage company. But my experience has been fabulous. The staff was beyond accommodating. They were fun, hilarious, helpful, flexible. I don't have a bad thing to say. ... Read more
Christopher E. - 6 June 2023
Such an easy and assuring experience. Moving across states, I was nervous because I had to unload in the rain and I wasn't completely sure that I would be able to fit everything in the unit I reserved. I was able to pull into a garage so the rain was not an issue and I was easily able to transfer to a larger unit for a very affordable price. Samantha was THE ABSOLUTE BEST! ... Read more
