Storage Unit Size Calculator

Not sure what size storage unit you need? Use Lock Up Storage’s calculator to estimate the right space for your belongings before requesting a quote or choosing a branch.

Calculate Your Storage Space

We offer multiple storage unit sizes across our KwaZulu-Natal locations. Whether you’re a student looking for an extra small storage unit or a homeowner searching for storage space for a 5-bedroom household, this tool helps you estimate what size unit you may need before contacting the team.

Select the items you need to store, add the quantities, and let the calculator estimate the storage unit size you should ask about.

Found Your Storage Size?

Once you’ve completed your calculation, contact Lock Up Storage and let us know what size storage unit you require. We can help confirm availability at the branch closest to you.

Don’t Pay More Than You Need To

Most people do not know what storage unit size they need, because their belongings are spread across rooms, cupboards, garages and boxes.

Instead of guessing “garage size” and risking paying for a half-empty unit, use the calculator to estimate the right space first.

Skip the Guesswork

The calculator helps translate your actual items into a more useful storage size estimate.

Use Presets

If you are storing a 1-bedroom apartment or a 5-bedroom home, use the preset filter that matches your house size.

Plan Personal Storage

Select every item you need in personal storage, and the tool will estimate the smallest suitable unit it can.

Quote Faster

Once you know your estimated size, it is easier for the team to quote and check availability at your nearest branch.
