Starting with doors, pay close attention A strong, steel roll-up serves more than just decoration; it also resists bolt cutters, which causes anyone considering a break-in second thought. Avoid the inexpensive bin locks; they scarcely slow anyone down. Choose instead a cylinder or disc lock; consider it as the difference between a trinket and a fortification.
Cameras are now a security must at any respectable storage facility, not only for heist movies. Mounted in corners, these round-the-clock keep a continuous watch. Not to worry; they make sure nobody is snoopering where they shouldn't be, not criticizing your bedhead. Many facilities additionally use alerted devices: should someone tamper with your belongings, sirens blast and assistance is on hand.
Protection doesn't stop at keeping people out. Friends of memories include pests, dampness, and dust. Climate control ensures that your grandmother's tea set won't be sacrificed to a heatwave or cold freeze. Water barriers on flooring also help to prevent the breakdown of your vintage comics during a wet spell.
Ever have to get something out in the middle of the night? 24-hour access is a gift for those who roam at night or who are forgetful. But security picks up in the off-peak—think of customized access codes or high-tech fobs so only the appropriate people enter after dark. For those late-night visits, that additional guarantee is quite important.

Some facilities offer plans on demand; others let you attach storage coverage to your homeowner's policy. Carefully review the specifics to be sure you know what is covered should theft or an unexpected disaster strike.
Certain storage facilities even let you know should your space be accessed unannounced. Once a furious windstorm tore open the gate, I briefly considered whether someone was reenacting Indiana Jones with my moving crates. Turned out, Mother Nature was merely rearranging things.
Ministorage security is much more than a catchphrase. It combines smart technology, dry air, lock strength, and ongoing awareness. Combine those with plain old-fashioned common sense; your belongings will be in for a safe stay till that forthcoming yard sale or major life change.
