What Our Customers Say
Self Storage Units in Toronto, ON, at 20 Research Road
Climate control protects what you're storing from Toronto's humidity spikes and temperature swings that warp furniture and ruin electronics left in unconditioned spaces. Indoor storage keeps everything protected from weather and dust, which beats the concrete parking garage units where moisture seeps through and grime builds up on anything you leave for more than a month. Access from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily works around early gym schedules and late commutes home, not the other way around. You can grab what you need before heading to work or swing by after dinner without racing against a 6:00 p.m. cutoff.

What Storage Units Are Offered at Our Leaside Location
Climate-Controlled Storage
Climate-controlled storage maintains steady temperature and humidity inside our Leaside facility year-round. Toronto's summer heat and winter cold wreak havoc on furniture, documents, and electronics stored in uncontrolled spaces. Our indoor units prevent the warping, mildew, and condensation damage common in basement lockers and garage storage. Climate control costs a bit more but beats replacing ruined belongings after a humid Toronto summer.
Residential Storage
Residential storage gives Leaside residents space for furniture, seasonal items, and belongings that don't fit in tight Toronto living spaces. Downsizing from a house to a condo means making tough choices about what stays and what goes into storage. Our climate-controlled indoor units keep your stuff in the same condition you left it, not covered in dust or damaged by moisture. Extended access hours mean you can swap winter clothes for summer wardrobes on your schedule, not ours.

Storage in Leaside - Frequently Asked Questions
What unit sizes are available at the Leaside facility?
Our Research Road location has climate-controlled indoor units ranging from 5x5 lockers to 10x20 spaces. Smaller units work well for seasonal clothing swaps and document storage, while larger units accommodate furniture from downsizing or renovations. All units maintain consistent temperature and humidity year-round to protect what you're storing.
Is there drive-up access at this facility?
No, this facility offers indoor storage units on the ground floor inside a secure building. You'll use a moving dolly to bring items from your vehicle to your unit, which takes a bit more time than drive-up but provides better climate control and security. Ground-floor location means you're not dealing with elevators or ramps.
What are the access hours?
You can access your unit from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. every day of the week. Early morning access works for people who need to grab items before heading to work, and late evening hours accommodate commuters getting home after dark. The building is locked outside these hours for security.
Why does climate control matter in Toronto?
Toronto summers get hot and humid, which causes mildew and warping in furniture and documents stored without climate control. Winter cold can crack leather and damage electronics left in unheated spaces. Climate-controlled storage maintains steady conditions that keep your belongings in the same shape you left them, not damaged by seasonal temperature swings.
What security measures protect stored items?
Our facility uses security cameras throughout the building and limits access to current renters only. The indoor location provides an extra layer of security compared to outdoor units, and climate control means the building stays locked and monitored around the clock. You get peace of mind that your stuff stays secure and protected.
Can I buy packing supplies at the facility?
Yes, we sell boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and other packing materials on-site so you don't have to make an extra trip to a shipping store. Buying supplies here means you can pack items properly before storing them, which prevents damage during transport and while they're in your unit.
