Three simple words . . . secure self storage . . . but they mean so much to people who are renting elf storage units.
It is assumed, of course, that self storage means your possessions are safe from vandalism, from theft, and from damage . . . but is that assumption, correct? In this article, we will take a closer look at secure self storage, at what it should mean and what it actually means in the storage industry.
We are Mouser Self Storage, renting storage solutions in South Fort Worth, Alvarado, and Johnson County. Call us at 682-800-3949 for current pricing information.
What secure self storage should mean.
Secure means safety. It means your possessions, while in storage, are safe from all manner of harm and damage. That is the basic assumption people make when the rent storage units, is it not? Tens of thousands of storage transactions occur daily in this country, and every single one of them carries an assumption of security and safety. Every storage company says they offer security and safety, and the public assumes those words means what they say.
However . . .
What it actually means?
If we are being perfectly honest here, the words “secure self storage” generally means more secure than, say, your garage or garden shed, but not as secure as, say, Fort Knox.
We have literally seen storage places which were not even enclosed by a perimeter fence. We have seen storage places which still use regular keys for access, and we have seen storage places which do not even have on-site management. They may be safer than your garage, but not by much.
You deserve better!
Here’s what to look for.
There are four levels of self-storage security and all four are needed before the words “secure self storage” can be accurately used.
- Fenced perimeter, the very least you should expect, and there should be only one access gate to the property.
- Video monitoring 24/7, with every nook and cranny of the storage property under surveillance.
- Computer generated, individualized access keys for both the access gate and the individual storage units.
- And on-site management because nothing says security like a human being.
Find a storage company which offers all four levels of the aforementioned security, and you will have found a company which takes “secure self storage” seriously. Anything less means you are taking an unnecessary risk when storing your possessions.
How do you find this kind of security? Call around your area and keep calling until you do find it. Your possessions, and your peace of mind, are worth the extra effort.
