Does anyone know of any places where you can rent a storage locker in downtown Toronto for a few months? And I am looking for a small locker (like the size of a gym locker). I know there are tons of storage locker rental places but the space is huge (and expensive), usually for people who need to store furniture and such. I need something fairly small (yes, I want to store my porn collection and other stuff I don't want guests to accidentally stumble across) and private. I don't want to have to get another membership to get access to a locker (like a gym membership). Does the bus terminal downtown have them for long term rental?

Any suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I'll check it out... though even their smallest size is a lot bigger than I need
I doubt you'll find smaller lots in Toronto, or cheaper prices then DVP has.
I don't think I've ever seen locker size storage spaces for rent in Toronto

Why not buy a large lockbox?

Larger size toolboxes, lockers, safe, etc that you can convert yourself. You can keep things locked, yet on site.

You can buy industrial lockers but I don't think they come in singles. I mean they have single stacks but with 3 lockers per as the minimum, I think.

Sort of like what this place sells. Sorry, it is stateside.

First of all, what sort of guests are you expecting who will snoop through your stuff? Are you going away for a while and renting out? Besides a storage locker (probably your best bet) another thing you could do is get Canada Post to hold mail for you (this will cost something like $10/week and you might be doing this anyway), then box and mail your porn to yourself using the cheapest method possible. Canada Post will hold the parcel for you until you get back.

Alternatively, you could get a jobsite tool box and anchor it to the floor in eg: your furnace room, then padlock it - this would probably end up being as expensive as renting a locker unless you can get one used on Kijiji.

Or go the cheapest route: Go to Staples, buy a cardboard Banker's box and a Sharpie, put all your porn into it, tape it shut, and use the Sharpie to mark it: "PORN - Do not touch".

Thanks for all the suggestions, it is really appreciated.

I prefer to not have a lockbox in my place. I know... I know... I am being a bit paranoid and overreacting. But I can't help it. I have to do what I feel comfortable with.

I did find this, which intrigues me:

$7 a box. I probably just have one box of stuff. If it is pretty secure and somewhat anonymous, it could be an option.

Thats really cool, I never heard of them.
I wonder how many drug dealers stash their supply there
