Most homes in Lawton, Oklahoma come complete with a garage. Honestly, can you imagine buying a house in the area that didn’t have space for one or two cars (or more!)? But, how many of us actually use our garages to store our cars? Often our garage is full of lawnmowers, holiday decorations, weight sets, sports equipment, tools, boxes of stuff that we don’t know where else to put, and so on. So most of us end up with cars parked in our driveways or on our streets. And parking a car outside in Oklahoma isn’t much of a benefit to the paint and polish—it bakes under the hot summer sun and it get covered by snow and ice during the winter. Both can take a toll on the appearance of your vehicle. We don’t even have to discuss the acidic nature of bird droppings. Yuck! But some folks just don’t have room in their garage for spare vehicles, especially those vehicles that aren’t in day-to-day use.
What’s the solution? Auto storage in Lawton may be just what you’re looking for. After all, automobiles are big, bulky things that take up a lot of space. It’s not like you can just stack an extra one on the top shelf, or jam it up into the attic. If you’ve got a car that you’re not using right now—maybe it’s a work in progress, or maybe it doesn’t run and is waiting on costly repairs that need to be saved for, or maybe it just belongs to someone who isn’t around at the moment like a college student or member of the military who is stationed elsewhere—then auto storage in Lawton can keep it safe, sound, and out-of-the-way without taking up valuable real estate in your garage or driveway!
Auto storage in Lawton isn’t the only way to help free up some space in your garage, though. Maybe you’d like to keep your car in the garage, but find that it’s just always too full of stuff! Storage ‘R’ Us can help you out by giving you someplace to put those lawn chairs, garden gnomes, golf clubs, and whatever else is taking up space in your garage. If you put that stuff into storage, you’ll find that you suddenly have plenty of room for your car. And having garage space open for automobiles means not having to worry about scraping snow in the winter, or the sun fading your dash in the summer. And that’s worth a lot! So whether you’re looking for auto storage in Lawton or just looking to clear out your garage or attic, look no further than Storage ‘R’ Us at any of our convenient locations!

Anyone who lives in Oklahoma knows that as summer turns to fall, spiders, ants, flies, and cockroaches have a nasty habit of finding their way into our homes—no matter how hard we may try to keep them out. Houses are warm and dry, after all, and must be pretty attractive places to bugs and spiders who want to escape the cold and damp. Unfortunately, self-storage in Oklahoma isn’t completely immune to these pesky invaders either, so while we here at Storage ‘R’ Us do everything we can to make sure that the outsides of your unit are proof against creepy crawlies, there are a few tips that you can follow inside your unit to help discourage unwanted pests.
Maybe the most obvious thing to do is not to store food in your storage unit. That includes making sure that any furniture or other items, like your camping gear, are carefully cleaned and vacuumed before they go into storage. Even tiny crumbs of food can attract critters. Another thing that you can do if you’re particularly concerned about insect-sized pests is to put down sticky traps or tape, what we used to call “roach motels.” The key with these, however, is to make sure you change them out frequently. You don’t want a lot of dead bugs in your unit, any more than you want a bunch of live ones.
When we’re talking about self-storage in Oklahoma, one of the most common pests we face—especially in the late summer and fall—are spiders. While other insects may be attracted to food or even to the cardboard or other items that you store in your unit, spiders are likely just trying to get in someplace dry and safe to build their webs. Fortunately, the majority of the spiders that we have here in Oklahoma aren’t venomous, but most people still don’t want to find them in a box of their stuff. And of course, if you do run into either a brown recluse or a black widow—the two most common venomous spiders in Oklahoma—it’s not a pleasant experience.
So what’s the best way to keep spiders out of your self-storage in Oklahoma? Keeping your storage unit neat and tidy is the first step. Spiders love clutter, because it gives them plenty of places to hide and spin their webs. Leave “breathing room” between the walls of your storage unit and the items that you store, and aisles between the items themselves, and keep these areas clean and clear. What you don’t want to do is spray a bunch of harmful chemicals around. After all, this is your stuff that you’re storing, and a storage unit is an enclosed space, so insecticides aren’t the best idea. If you can’t discourage eight-legged invaders with some cleaning and tidying, try putting together a home-made spider repellant by combining essential oils such as citrus, peppermint, citronella, lavender, or clove with some dish washing liquid and water. Spray the mixture around the entrance to your storage unit, and anyplace else you’ve seen spiders, and voila, spider-free self-storage in Oklahoma!
You already know that self-storage in Lawton can help with your move, aid in your spring (and summer and winter and fall) cleaning, and reduce clutter while keeping all your items easy to reach. But did you know that self-storage in Lawton is also the best kept secret for beautiful homes? It’s true!
“Okay,” you may be saying to yourself, “I know that self-storage in Lawton can give me a place to keep those Christmas decorations the rest of the year, or to safely store Junior’s stuff while he’s away at college, or even give me a place to support my home-based business, but how can it help me beautify my house?” Let us answer that question with another question: What do all the most beautiful homes you’ve ever seen have in common? Think about the houses that you see in magazines like Good Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens or on HGTV or any of the myriad reality shows where people come in and spruce up a house. They may have granite countertops or marble, they may have color-coordinated living rooms, walk-in showers, whatever, but they’ve all got one thing in common: they’re all uncluttered.
When it comes to beautifying your home, less is more—and self-storage in Lawton can help. All of us accumulate stuff. It’s unavoidable. And while lots of online advice may encourage us to sell it or donate it, we don’t want to part with everything. We all have decorations that only come out once a year, clothes that we only wear when they’re in season, family photo albums and other heirlooms that we may not always display but would never part with. Some of us have home-based businesses that need to store paperwork and inventory, or we re-sell things on eBay or through other online storefronts. All that stuff takes up space, and it can create clutter. Fortunately, self-storage in Lawton can help you to de-clutter your space, while still keeping all the things you want and need within easy reach.
Self-storage units in Lawton can be particularly useful if you’re trying beautify your house to sell it. Ask any realtor, and they’ll tell you about the importance of staging when it comes to selling a home. And if you’re looking to show a home, stage a home, or sell a home, having someplace to put all the stuff that you’ll be taking with you when you leave—the stuff that’s a part of your day-to-day life but that you don’t want out there for everyone who’s walking through to see—can be a lifesaver. And all those same values that self-storage brings to selling a home, it can also bring to beautifying your home every day. So whether you’re planning to sell your home, or just want to make some more space in your living spaces, contact Storage ‘R’ Us today, and see what self-storage in Lawton can do for you!
When customers come to see us looking for self-storage solutions, one of their first questions is often, Do I need climate controlled self-storage? It’s a question that we hear time and time again, so we thought we would take a stab at answering it here.
Climate controlled self-storage has a lot of different uses, and different people rely on it for very different things. The simplest way to determine whether or not you need climate controlled self-storage is to ask whether the things you’re storing could be damaged by changes in temperature or humidity. Our non-climate controlled storage units are secure and relatively impervious to the elements, but without being heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, there’s only so much that a storage unit can do to protect against changes in temperature and humidity.
While electronics, books, photo albums, antiques, paintings, and family heirlooms are some of the most common items stored in our climate controlled units, we’ve seen people use climate controlled self-storage for all sorts of things over the years, including supporting their home-based business by storing paperwork or excess inventory, selling things online via eBay or Etsy, storing musical instruments, and a whole lot more. Basically, if it can be damaged by humidity or extremes of heat or cold, then it should probably go into climate controlled self-storage!
It’s also important to note that while many people use self-storage as a temporary solution, it doesn’t take long for the days to turn into weeks, the weeks into months. Time has a way of getting away from you. Those family photo albums, antique wood furniture, or boxes of business paperwork that you told yourself would be fine for a few weeks may not fare as well if the seasons start to change. So it’s always better to be safe than sorry. And since most things that are stored in climate controlled self-storage are pretty valuable, it goes without saying that they should also be insured. Like we said, our storage facilities are secure, and we provide 24/7 video surveillance, gated access, and other security measures to keep your valuables safe, but even we can’t protect against natural disasters, and in the event of a tornado you’ll be glad you had insurance on your stuff, whether it’s computers or paintings.
So now you may be asking yourself the opposite question: When do I not need climate controlled self-storage? Well, the answer, again, varies from person to person, but if you’re storing something that isn’t going to rust, mildew, or fall apart in extremes of heat or cold or changes in humidity and doesn’t really require any special care, then regular self-storage is probably a good fit. Many of our customers use regular self-storage for sturdy furniture that won’t be damaged by humidity, outdoor holiday decorations that take up a lot of room in the garage or attic, lawnmowers (drained of gasoline, of course), and so on.
Whether you’re looking for climate controlled self-storage, or aren’t sure what kind of self-storage is right for you, come by Storage ‘R’ Us today and let us help you find the perfect self-storage solution for all your needs!
When asked what their favorite thing about using self-storage in Moore is, people respond with a lot of different answers. For some, it’s knowing that their valuables are secure, protected by 24/7 digital video surveillance, fenced and walled perimeters, and gated access. For others, it’s having reclaimed the living space that used to be taken up by camping gear, holiday decorations, and unused furniture. Still others love our friendly staff and our huge selection of moving supplies and boxes. For many people, though, the best thing about self-storage in Moore is still being able to get to their stuff whenever they need it!
When people come to us looking for self-storage for the first time, they’re often worried that storing their stuff will mean that it’s harder to get to than it was before. After all, if it’s just in your garage, basement, or attic, then all you have to do is go up or down the stairs and grab it, right? Except that when it’s in your garage, basement, or attic, it’s probably stacked underneath or behind a bunch of other stuff, you may have a car parked in the way, or you may have forgotten where you put it at all. In fact, many people find that once they’ve moved their belongings into self-storage they have an easier time getting to things! Not just the stuff they’ve stored, either, but the things that are still in their house, that are no longer fenced in by clutter or piled under other boxes.
Self-storage in Moore gives you the space and security that you need to keep your house pleasant and clutter-free, while also keeping all your stuff organized and accessible.

Sure, we’ve got office hours like any other business (9-6 Monday-Friday and 9-3 on Saturday) when our site managers are here to answer your questions, sell you packing and moving supplies, and help you with anything that might come up. But thanks to our gated access, you can get into your storage unit at 2 in the morning to grab that old yearbook and prove to your husband that he did so have a ridiculous mustache in his senior picture.

You know the car we’re talking about. It’s one that’s going to be a real beauty, just as soon as you’re done fixing her up. The one you picked up from somebody, probably for a song, because they just didn’t know what they had. Or maybe it’s the one that you’ve owned since college, and you drove it into the ground, but you know that it’s a great car, if you can just get it running again. It’s been sitting in the garage or the driveway for who-knows-how long, and chances are your wife or girlfriend or husband or fiancé or parents have been bugging you to do something with it, but there’s not really anyplace else to put it, and you can’t bear to give it up. Luckily for you, we’ve got just the answer: auto storage in Lawton from Storage ‘R’ Us!
We understand that fixing up an old car is more than just a chore; it’s a hobby, a passion. And like any other hobby, it can take up a lot of space. There’s more than just the car itself: there’s tools and parts and all the other accessories of the trade. So it’s time to get all those fenders and wheels, those new bucket seats that you’re going to put in, and all those tools out of the garage so that you can use it to park the cars that actually run, especially with summer winding down and cold weather on the way!
And there’s another consideration: Auto storage in Lawton can give you more than just a safe and secure place to park your car and store your extra tools and parts, it can give you a place to work where you won’t be interrupted, and where you can be in out of the elements. If you normally work on your car in the driveway, dust and other debris can easily get into sensitive parts under the hood, and auto storage can help protect against those sorts of hazards. Plus, these days many neighborhoods and apartment complexes don’t allow auto maintenance on the premises, so auto storage can give you someplace to do your tinkering undisturbed.
Before you bring your pride-and-joy down to Storage ‘R’ Us, though, there’s a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of auto storage in Lawton. If your car is already running, it’s a good idea to get a tune-up before you bring it in, and also to make sure that you top off the gas tank. This can prevent condensation in the fuel tank over time. If you’re going to be storing your car for a long period of time, it’s also a good idea to remove wiper blades and crack a window if you’re storing it indoors—just wide enough for some air circulation, not enough to let any critters get in.
One of the most important things you can do when bringing your car to auto storage in Lawton is to pick up some insurance to cover it. Here at Storage ‘R’ Us, we protect your valuables with fenced and walled perimeters, gated access, security lighting, 24-hour digital video surveillance, and more, but even we can’t protect against everything, and in the event of something like a natural disaster, you’ll be glad you had an insurance policy to protect your most treasured belongings, including that old Thunderbird that will be the coolest car on the block just as soon as you’re finished souping her up!

Summer is drawing to a close, which means that it’s way past time for spring cleaning. But really, how many of us actually get to all the cleaning we were hoping to get do in spring, anyway? And everything always seems to get back into a mess again, no matter how much cleaning we do. Now that the kids are back in school and the days are getting shorter, it’s time to start thinking about cleaning out the basement, attic, or garage, putting sports equipment and other stuff into storage, and getting organized. Before we know it, the weather will turn cold and the holidays will be here. Speaking of, do you know where you put the Christmas tree and all the lights? How about the Halloween decorations?
The end of summer is a good time to think about cleaning and organizing before cold weather sets in and we’re all trapped in the house with all the stuff we didn’t find a place for earlier. Before cold weather hits, start going through your winter clothes looking for items you can donate or throw out. Track down holiday decorations, check to make sure that lights all work, and toss out anything that’s busted. The change of the seasons affects more than just linens, clothes, and decorations, too. Make some space in your kitchen for serving utensils and other dishes and cookware that you plan to use for holiday entertaining. You’ll be glad you took the time before bad weather and the holiday rush all set in.
Whatever you’re planning to clean out, clear up, organize, or declutter this summer, self-storage in Moore, Oklahoma can help! Did you know that self-storage is a great place to keep stuff that you only use once or twice a year? All those holiday decorations that are taking up space in your basement or garage could easily be cleared out and moved to a convenient storage unit, where they’d be easy to get to when the holiday season rolls around each year. Ditto stuff like camping gear, sports equipment, winter clothes, and those good dishes that you only bring out for big holiday dinners.
With kids going back to school and heading off to college, a lot of parents find themselves with empty nests at the end of summer. But, those empty nests are often still full of a lot of clutter. When kids leave home to go to college, they can’t take all their stuff, and they certainly don’t want you to get rid of any of it, but you may need the space, or just feel the need to clean up a little in their absence. Fortunately, self-storage in Moore makes a great solution to help keep all their stuff in good shape and in one place until they’re ready for it, while still keeping it from cluttering up your house in the meantime.
So whether you’re cleaning out your closets or doing a purge of your whole house, let self-storage in Moore help you to find a place for everything that needs a new home this summer!
Moving a lot comes with the territory for military families. In fact, military families relocate 10 times more often than civilian families; an average of once every 2 or 3 years.

After all, if you’re stationed at one of our nearby military bases, then your home is here… but you never know when you’re going to get deployed. And if you do, you’ll need someplace to keep your stuff while you’re away! Someplace that will keep everything safe and secure, so that it’s all ready and waiting for you when you get back. That’s where military self-storage in Lawton can help. Here’s five things to keep in mind when you’re looking for self-storage options:
Whether you’re in the neighborhood as part of a permanent change of station, or whether your stay in the Lawton area is temporary, military self-storage in Lawton can be a lifesaver to busy military families just like yours.
