Living in Payne County, we know the weather can be as unpredictable as an overtime game at Boone Pickens Stadium. One day it’s a humid 95°F, and the next, a cold front sweeps through, dropping temperatures near freezing. While we adapt by layering our clothes or adjusting the thermostat, our stored belongings don’t have that luxury.
When you lock the door to your storage unit, you want the peace of mind that your items will come out in the exact same condition they went in. This is where Locked Up Self Storage at 1730 N Jardot Rd steps in. We don't just offer space; we offer a scientifically managed environment designed to combat the specific climate challenges of Stillwater, OK (74075).
Below, we dive into the science of climate control and why it is the single most important feature for long-term storage in our region.
To understand why climate control is necessary, we have to look at the two main enemies of stored goods: thermal fluctuation and relative humidity.
Materials like wood, plastic, and metal react to temperature changes. When the temperature rises, materials expand; when it drops, they contract. In a standard, non-climate-controlled drive-up unit, the internal temperature can swing drastically—often exceeding 100°F in the Oklahoma summer and plummeting below freezing in winter. Over time, this constant expansion and contraction causes:
Stillwater is known for its humid subtropical climate. High humidity is dangerous because organic materials (paper, fabric, wood) are hygroscopic—they absorb moisture from the air.
In Stillwater, the average high in July hovers around 94°F, often accompanied by stifling humidity. Conversely, January lows frequently dip into the 20s.
If you are storing sensitive items—such as pharmaceutical rep inventory, business documents, family heirlooms, or electronics—a standard garage-style unit exposes them to these extremes. Locked Up Self Storage provides the buffer your belongings need. By maintaining a stable temperature range, we prevent the "thermal shock" that damages sensitive materials.
Located conveniently just off N Jardot Rd, our facility is built with the modern tenant in mind. We combine the science of preservation with the convenience of technology.
Our climate-controlled building features secure, indoor access that keeps dust, pests, and weather out.
Stillwater is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you are hauling a boat to Boomer Lake Park or taking the RV out for a tailgating weekend, you need a safe place to park it. We offer massive 14x40 and 17x40 Enclosed Bays for RVs and boats.
The need for storage in Stillwater often revolves around the academic and seasonal calendar.
Our location at 1730 N Jardot Rd places us in a prime spot for residents across Payne County. We are easily accessible for a quick stop before heading to a game or after a day of shopping in Downtown Stillwater.
