Self storage can be a wonderful thing: less clutter, extra space, more organization, and the ability to adapt to life’s changes without giving up your favorite items. However, positive self storage rental experiences depend on how well a storage facility can protect your belongings. Below are some security features and storage tips to consider before you decide on a self storage company.  

• Video surveillance – Criminals don’t like to be on camera, so 24-hour video surveillance is a major deterrent for would-be thieves.  If only cookie jars were as well guarded.

• Secure access points – Individual key or entry codes limit the number of people who can enter the storage facility to only employees and tenants. Less traffic means less opportunity for foul play and more secure self storage.

• Resident store managers – Self storage units are a temporary place for your belongings, but they’re home for the store managers. Store managers that live on site are truly invested in protecting the area and are available 24/7 to watch over your unit. You can’t beat built-in security personnel.

• Motion-sensor lighting –Thieves do not appreciate motion-sensor lighting that exposes them like deer in the headlights.

• Individual unit alarms – If someone was able to sneak by despite secure gate access, monitored video surveillance, exterior fencing and the resident store managers, some storage units also have individual door alarms. Take that, delinquents.

• Steel-constructed units – Difficult to cut, break or bend, the steel-constructed doors protect your items like a vault at Gringotts.

• Interior loading areas – When looking for safety features, don’t forget to consider interior loading areas. Unloading and loading your storage unit can take time, and indoor areas keep you and your items safe.

• Unit insurance – You can never be too careful or too prepared. For additional security, get personal property insurance for the items you have in storage. Storage Post offers an Elite Protection Plan for all renters, so be sure to ask for more information at move-in.

• Perimeter fencing – Some self storage facilities are constructed with perimeter fencing to keep the good in and the bad out.
