Making the Most of Secure Storage



Falling victim to a burglary is always devastating, but having your items stolen from a self-storage unit usually comes as a complete shock. Secure storage is one of the goals of storage facilities in all states. However, self-storage burglary is actually a big problem and are what customers facing today as a greater crime risk that they were in their homes. The best way to lessen such problem is to choose a secure storage with the latest accessories that would keep you ate ease.

To safeguard your stored goods and avoid the cost of replacing stolen items, you always should be thorough when selecting a secure storage. Before booking a storage unit, review all of the listed security features, call the manager if you need any clarification and if possible, visit the facility to satisfy your needs. When you are in doubt, scheduling a visit or a tour is a good suggestion to make sure the indoor and outdoor areas of the property are well-lit. Asking the manager whether the facility has an established relationship with the local police department and inquiring about how frequent police monitor the area is a good start to know if the place is safe.

A secure storage that has video surveillance technology the can deter would-be thieves who spot the security cameras. If you are serious about giving your items the highest level of security, individual alarms per unit is the best way to keep burglars away. An access control system is also one of the features that most secure storage facilities boast about; the use of remotes or security cards to enter the facility is one of the innovations of secure storage these days.

Many storage facilities also let you choose your own lock for your unit’s door. Take the time to choose a lock that will hold up against bolt cutters. Buying a lock that has a long shackle is a huge no; instead, take one that is a disc lock or a cylinder lock because both are difficult to lock.
