Revolutionizing Storage: Titan Mega Storage's Automated Experience

Written by John Bilton | Mar 31, 2026

When operator Larry Keller set out to build Titan Mega Storage in Bakersfield, CA, he wasn’t aiming for incremental improvement—he was aiming for a breakthrough. By rethinking unit design, access control, and tenant movement through the property, he created a facility that feels seamless, intuitive, and modern.

A Smarter Way to Move Through Storage

Titan Mega Storage’s signature feature is its large, dual‑ended units, each equipped with both a walk door and a roll‑up door. Tenants can enter from either side, pull through, or stage their move however they want—turning what’s normally a hassle into a smooth experience.


100% Phone‑Based Access—No Codes, No Keypads

Every gate and door is controlled through smartphone access, with adjustable activation distances that make each entry effortless. As tenants approach, doors open at just the right moment—no stopping, no fumbling, no guesswork.

Even better, the system stays functional during power outages, keeping operations steady when other facilities grind to a halt.

Low‑Maintenance Power with Direct‑Drive Doors

To handle the oversized roll‑up doors, Larry chose the Pantheon direct‑drive system from Janus International. With no belts, pulleys, or complex bracing, it delivers smooth, reliable operation while reducing long‑term maintenance costs.

Safety and Awareness Built In

The facility layers multiple safety technologies, including:

  • High‑precision photo‑eyes
  • Thermal motion sensors
  • 24/7 exterior camera coverage

Everything responds instantly and intelligently to keep both equipment and tenants protected.

One Integrated Ecosystem, Zero Friction

Working with Janus International, Larry built a fully connected system combining smart access, door automation, safety optics, and real‑time monitoring. The result is a facility that runs cleaner, breaks less, and delivers a premium tenant experience without added complexity.
