Let’s talk about secure storage and what that word “secure” really means in the self storage industry. We are Mouser Self Storage, serving the people of South Fort Worth, Johnson County, and Alvarado from our location in the 917 Industrial Park. Call us at 682-800-3949 for current pricing and availability information.
Now, though, let’s talk about secure self storage.
Not all secure storage offers the same security.
The first thing you need to understand about secure self storage is the fact that not all self storage companies offer the same level of security. Some are, in fact, quite lacking in their security measures, but you wouldn’t know that unless you knew what to look for, which is what we will talk about next.
The Mouser Self Storage security measures.
There are basically four levels of security available to all self storage places. Whether they use all four is the question worth asking. Mouser Self Storage does, in fact, use all four, and they are:
- Fenced perimeter with only one main access gate for entry and departure from the property.
- Video monitoring of the entire self storage facility.
- Individualized, computerized access keycards for each customer, one for the main gate and one for each storage unit.
- And on-site management; nothing says security like a real human being patrolling the grounds.
We cannot overemphasize the importance of these four levels of security. For an example, let’s talk about RV self storage, which is offered at Mouser, along with car storage and boat storage. All of these items represent a major investment, sometimes more than $100,000 in value. Do you really want to store your major investment in a storage facility which is less than totally secure? With the number of vandalism acts, thefts, and the random acts of Mother Nature in the form of hailstorms, windstorms, or hurricanes, don’t you want the absolute best when it comes to secure self storage?
Of course you do! And, considering that many storage facilities, with inadequate security measures, charge the same amount as a very secure storage facility, why not go with the very best?
And one other level of security you might consider.
Having said all that, we have one more recommendation for you and that is to obtain renter’s insurance for your valuables while they are storage in a storage facility. No matter how secure the storage facility is, things can happen. There is no such thing as 100% security in this industry. Call your insurance agent and obtain very inexpensive renter’s insurance for complete peace of mind. We are literally talking about ten, twenty, thirty dollars per month for the added protection in case a random “act of God” should occur.
