SECURE PUBLIC STORAGE: WAYS ON KEEPING YOUR BELONGINGS SAFE

Whether you are downsizing your living quarters, organizing your household, or just need a place to store your belongings while you move, secure public storage facilities can be extremely helpful. However, it is important to carefully consider where you are entrusting your precious belongings before moving them in.

Know Your Environment. A secure public storage facility should have a friendly and secure environment. Before actually renting any facility people should thoroughly ensure the safety of the items they will be storing there. This means that there should be security cameras and other safety measures in place, at the chosen facility. To make it convenient for people to transport the items that might to store in such a secure public storage facility, the company might even offer them the possibility of renting trucks and buying packaging materials from them as well.

Ask About Climate Control.  If you are storing special family heirlooms, artwork, musical instruments, electronics and business equipment or documents, then you might consider renting a climate controlled secure public storage unit. The cost might be a bit higher, but your personal items will be protected from the elements. Temperature and humidity extremes can damage personal items when stored long-term in a traditional outdoor storage facility. It is best to search for a secure public storage that offers indoor climate controlled storage units as well as your traditional outdoor drive-up storage.

Learn Payment and Rental Conditions. In many places, secure public storage units aren't treated like apartments. On the first day of the month, your rent is automatically late. Grace periods vary by the company or even by the state, and in some cases even being a few days late with your payment means your unit's contents can be auctioned off to the highest bidder at a wholesale auction.

Choose convenience.  You will want to find a secure public storage facility that has options yet is not too far from your home or office. There is nothing worse than realizing you need something from your unit and knowing that you have to drive 30 minutes (or more!) to get there.
