Is Storage Right for You? When and Why to Use a Managed-Access Storage Unit

Jun 16, 2025

Looking for extra space but not sure what type of storage fits your needs? At Luigi’s Moving & Storage, we offer managed-access storage units — a secure and dependable option that works perfectly for customers who need long-term or occasional access to their stored belongings.

🔐 What Is a Managed-Access Storage Unit?

Unlike traditional self-storage where you come and go as you please, managed-access storage requires customers to coordinate with our staff before accessing their unit. This added layer of communication enhances security, protects your items, and allows us to assist when needed.

Whether you’re storing household items, seasonal décor, or business equipment, this setup offers a hands-on, personal approach to storage.


✅ Benefits of Managed-Access Storage

  • Enhanced Security
    Units are only accessible with staff assistance, adding a layer of protection.

  • Clean and Monitored Facilities
    Our team ensures that your items are stored in a safe, organized, and climate-aware environment.

  • Personalized Support
    Need help moving or locating items? Our staff is there to assist you during your visit.

  • Cost-Effective for Long-Term Storage
    Ideal if you don’t need to access your unit frequently and want your items kept secure.


📦 Common Reasons to Use Managed-Access Storage

  • You’re in between moves and need temporary furniture storage

  • You have seasonal decorations or clothing to tuck away

  • Your business needs off-site storage for supplies or archived files

  • You’re downsizing but want to keep sentimental items safe


📅 How to Access Your Storage Unit

At Lugi’s, we make the process easy:

  1. Call or Email to schedule a time with our team.

  2. Visit with Staff Supervision — we’ll unlock and guide you to your unit.

  3. Get Assistance if needed with lifting, organizing, or moving items.

We prioritize flexibility and communication to make your experience as smooth as possible.


👋 Is This the Right Storage Option for You?

If 24/7 access isn’t a must and you value security, support, and service, then a managed-access storage unit is likely your best fit.
