HOW CAN I SECURE MY STORAGE UNIT?

You avail a storage rental to keep your stuff safe and intact for later use but it is shocking if your things get stolen from a supposedly secure storage facility. In America alone, many secure storage providers are being plagued by thefts—eventually losing their clients. Although companies claim that outsiders are the main burglars in secure storage facilities, there are also some accounts that providers themselves try to get inside the units to steal some items. Like in your homes, where you can have alarm systems or ask people to watch for your home, you must also be proactive in providing security in your storage units.

First of all, you have to find the best secure storage facility. Choosing the best secure storage unit can be tiring and energy intensive but it will surely pay-off if you still have your things intact after months of storing them. You can go through online listings, blogs, and other websites that can provide you with reviews on different companies. You can also ask your friends who already availed a storage rental service. Personal anecdotes are also good basis in choosing a storage unit. You can also do an intensive research of you prospect storage rental company. You can call them and ask your questions. In asking questions, you should be as detailed as possible. You can ask for their documents, certifications, and other legal proof that they are good secure storage company. You can also do a research on their background and relationship with the local police. Police departments should have records of stealing incidents that will surely help you assess the security of a secure storage facility. Ultimately, you can physically visit the storage rental facility. In this way, you can personally check the place, the surrounding establishments, and you can have a professional dialogue with the manager who may help you in convincing that they have the most secure storage units.

When it comes to facilities, you should look for an access control system in a storage rental facility. Individual door alarms and video surveillance are also good tools in providing high level of security in your storage facility. Individual codes or access cards/remotes are provided to clients for the access control system. This is effective because it makes records every time a person tries to access the facility—so you can track the access history of your secure storage unit. Individual door alarms and video surveillance provide immediate alert when an unknown or sketchy person tries to access your unit. This is effective especially during night time when people activities are less prominent.
