You can reserve and arrange for a unit in advance, up to 7-days, by accessing our information on www.toperstorage.com - we then can confirm unit availability.

Is the Facility Plowed During the Winter Months?

SNOW is a thing and we can extra special care and consideration to ensure that you have access to your storage unit year around. We have our own snow removal equipment and in most cases the snow is removed within the first 24-hours of a snow fall.

What Do I Do if My Lock is Frozen and I Cannot Access My Unit? 

It's Alaska and it happens - locks will freeze. During the chilly winter months please bring something with you when accessing your unit in case your lock is frozen shut. We have seen folks utilize a zip bag to cover their lock to ensure that water/snow/rain does not help freeze the lock.
