How We Started
Locked was created to bring a modern approach to self storage for Alva and the Hillfoots .
Our sister site in Linlithgow, operates under the Boxxs Self Storage brand, it has become a trusted choice for movers, downsizers, students, and small businesses across Central Scotland. Building on that success, Locked Alloa brings the same high standard of quality and security to Clackmannanshire. When it opens in early 2026, we expect to welcome customers from Alloa, the Hillfoots, and surrounding towns who value flexible and secure storage they can rely on.
From the outset, our goal has been to provide clean, reliable storage that is easy to book and straightforward to use. By focusing on brand new containers, flexible contracts, and secure access, we have built a reputation for storage that works around people's lives rather than adding stress to them.
Community at Locked Self Storage Alloa
Our success depends on our team and our connection with the local community.
Our sister site in Linlithgow, operated under the Boxxs Self Storage brand, is the only self storage company in Scotland to host a permanent street art exhibition. In July 2025, its 10 ft and 20 ft drive-up units were transformed into canvases for The Rebel Bear Street Art Exhibition, attracting hundreds of visitors from West Lothian and Falkirk. Many murals remain on display, turning Boxxs into an open-air gallery.
Locked Alloa will carry that same creative spirit when it opens in early 2026, combining heritage, design, and security in the heart of Clackmannanshire.
Our Director summed it up perfectly:
“We have always believed self storage should be about more than just space. The Rebel Bear project showed how creativity can transform everyday environments, a spirit we will carry forward to Locked Self Storage Alloa.”
