For Mobile Self Storage, 24/7 access is available. However, you need to give us at least 1 business day’s to bring your TOPBOX to a designated loading bay.

TOPBOX Local Self Storage will provide you with an entry pin code on registration, so you can access your storage unit 24/7 as follows:
1. Type A, B, C and locker – 24/7 access without notice.
2. Type H – 24/7 access with prior notice of 6 business hours

It is important to note Type H storage requires a minimum of 6 business hours’ notice to bring your box to a designated loading bay. If urgent access is required without giving the minimum hours of notice, access can only be arranged if an operation staff is available. In this case, it will incur a fee of $50 per access. Access over weekends MUST be booked before 11am on Friday. If you cancel your scheduled access with less than 24 hours’ notice, a $50 no show fee may apply, as we have to prepare your Topbox for access. Every box will be allowed 4 accesses per month; additional access will incur a fee of $25 per access. The duration of each access will only be the day you requested. The Topbox will be put away for storage after that day.

The security gate will shut automatically after entry. Exit through the gate by entering the pin code on the keypad mounted on a pole on the side of the exit driveway.
