September 29, 2025Locked Self Storage Alloa: Scotland’s Most Secure Storage Facility in a Historic Police Station

Looking for secure storage in Alloa?
On Mar Place, at the edge of Alloa town centre, stands a building every local knows. The former police station has long been a landmark of strength and order. Now, it is being reinvented as Locked Self Storage Alloa, Scotland’s most secure storage facility.
Secure Storage Clackmannanshire
Heritage strength meets next-generation technology to give homes and businesses in Clackmannanshire a safe, flexible place to protect what matters most.
A Historic Site Reinvented
Alloa’s police station has watched over the town for generations. Its thick brick walls, reinforced doors, and solid stone architecture were built to keep people and property safe. Rather than erase that history, Locked has chosen to preserve it.
Every cell, garage, and corridor has been reimagined for a new purpose. Former detention wings are now ultra-secure storage corridors. Reinforced cell doors guard valuables and business archives. Even the old armoury has been converted into one of the most robust storage spaces in Scotland.
By blending heritage character with modern design, the site stands as a proud example of Alloa’s past and future working together.
Storage Options for Every Need
The Lock-Ups
Converted from former police cells, panic rooms, and evidence lockers, these rooms are ultra-secure by design. Perfect for family heirlooms, business records, antiques, or sensitive stock.
Brick-Built Garage Vaults
Looking for drive-up storage Alloa? The original police garages have been transformed into strong drive-up units. Built in brick and steel, they’re ideal for large furniture, tools, or contractor equipment. Simply pull up and load directly into your space.
Drive-Up Strongholds™
Not repurposed, but purpose-built. Strongholds™ are factory-engineered modular units with aerogel insulation to prevent damp and condensation. They are stable, secure, and smarter than any shipping container. Climate protection makes them perfect for furniture, fabrics, or retail stock.
Cell Block – Drive-Up Edition
Unique to Alloa, these are original jail cells adapted for direct vehicle access. Reinforced stone and steel construction combine with the ease of drive-up convenience. Heritage muscle, modern access.
The Armoury
Once used to store weapons under lock and key, the Armoury now provides ballistic-grade protection for your most valuable items. Whether it’s sensitive documents, specialist equipment, or high-value goods, this unit type offers unrivalled reinforcement.
With units ranging from 25 sq ft to 200 sq ft, Locked Self Storage Alloa has a solution for every household, business, student, or vehicle owner.

Everyday Convenience in Practice
Locked Self Storage Alloa is designed to make life easier at every step. Imagine moving house: instead of squeezing through narrow corridors, you drive straight up to your Stronghold™ or Garage Vault, unlock with your phone, and unload in minutes.
For busy families, 24/7 smartphone access means no rushing to beat closing times. For small businesses, it means you can pick stock at dawn before a market stall, or late at night after a delivery run. Bright LED lighting, wide loading bays, and smooth surfaces make the whole process stress-free and safe.
Storage shouldn’t slow you down. At Locked, it doesn’t.
Community Impact and Sustainability
This project is about more than storage. Locked has invested in Alloa itself. Local contractors, tradespeople, and heritage specialists have all played a part in the transformation. Over 80% of the original building materials have been reused, reducing waste and respecting the site’s history.
Inside, low-energy LED lighting and sensor-driven heating cut environmental impact. Plans for solar power will take sustainability even further in the future. By preserving the police station and giving it new life, Locked ensures this landmark continues serving the community for decades to come.
