Welcome to Lockall, the premium storage solution for art professionals and collectors, galleries, museums and artists who refuse to entrust their pieces to a simple warehouse.

We provide you with a network of secure centers in Île-de-France , designed as true extensions of your gallery, your reserve or your studio. Spaces box privatifs, ventilated, under permanent video surveillance, equipped with camera systems and protection anti-intrusion and ofalarmes anti-incendie.

All with smooth access, whether you are in transit between two international fairs, in presentation prep, or in a temporary phase of moving or renovation.

Why storing artworks requires special attention

You know it if you've ever handled or transported an artwork: a canvas is not a poster, a sculpture is not a piece of furniture.

The slightest temperature change, humidity or mishandling can be enough to alter a piece permanently.

A poorly ventilated cellar? Mold guaranteed.
A room too dry? Hello cracks on an old canvas.
Light too bright? Colors fade, contrasts disappear.

Et c’est valable even if the work is stored temporarily.

Storing your works is therefore not just a logistical need: it's a matter of conservation, heritage value and professional responsibility.

Garde-meuble traditionnel vs self-stockage

There are several options for artists, gallerists or collectors in Paris and Île-de-France:

Specialized warehouses (often expensive, sometimes oversized)
Classic storage units (accessible but ill-suited)
Storage at home or in the gallery (often limited and not very secure)

Mais none ticks all the boxes : optimal conservation, maximum security, easy access, and flexibility.

That's where Lockall comes in ideally.

What you risk by not choosing suitable storage

Because a simple oversight can cost an artwork. Uncontrolled humidity, no ventilation, a door too easy to open. The risks are many:

Moisissures on canvas or paper
Deformations due to excessive humidity
Dommages due to poor ventilation or too strong light
Pertes ou vols in unsecured spaces

And in the end? A degraded artwork, even devalued in the eyes of insurers or buyers.

With Lockall, every detail is thought to avoid these drifts. Caring for art is not a luxury. It's a duty.

Why choose Lockall over a classic self-storage?

All storage spaces look alike. Until your artwork suffers.

Continuous ventilation, permanent security, flexible access and tailored format: we designed Lockall to meet gallery standards, not movers' needs.

Where others promise you an empty room, we offer truly suitable conservation conditions.

Because your artworks have nothing in common, your storage solution shouldn't either.
