3 key security features for your storage unit

We know that one of the biggest deciding factors for customers choosing a storage supplier is security. Even though most facilities do offer some form of security, some provide more features than others. If you’re in the market for storage, we know you care about keeping your things safe and secure. Here are 3 key security features you should expect for your storage unit.

1. CCTV digital surveillance

When you don’t have eyes on your storage unit, you’re going to want to hope that the facility does. CCTV should be in place to cover all entry and exit points, as well as the storage corridor areas. Digital recording also helps if ever footage needs to be played back and recovered in the event of a security incident.

2. PIN protected authorised access

Aside from cameras as a preventative measure, PIN coded access to gates and doors within the facility offer further security. This feature can help to restrict access for unauthorised personnel and allows the facility to review who has entered and exited the building if necessary.

3. A well-lit and maintained property

When choosing a self-storage facility, it’s important to know that if a maintenance issue comes up it will be addressed promptly. Having everything kept in good working order can help to deter theft. Look for facilities that have good exterior lighting and bright indoor motion-activated lighting to corridor areas.
