Security is absolutely paramount when it comes to storage facilities. Your items have emotional and monetary value so you want to be sure they are protected while in a storage unit. So, how do you choose a secure storage facility?

Access should be limited to the storage facility with a security gate. It is best to choose a storage facility that limits access to anyone who is not renting a unit. This type of extra protection can truly go a long way.

Security cameras are great deterrents when it comes to crime and vandalism. Be sure the storage facility you choose has working cameras that cover all the main areas of the facility. Also, make sure that your specific unit has security camera coverage as well.

Research the local area's crime statistics. This will give you an idea if the storage facility is in a safe neighborhood.

It is a good idea to visit the storage facility in person before renting it so that you can see the actual conditions of the facility. If the facility is poorly maintained or run down, then that is a sign that many other things may not be handled properly either.

Lighting is essential for safety at night. Bright lighting will help to protect both you and your property. Visit the storage facility at night before renting to check out how well lit it is.
