These are some of the things you should look for security-wise when considering which storage facility to use to store your goods. Most modern facilities in medium to large cities should have all of these security measures in place:
- Automatic gates with keyboard computerized access
- Surveillance cameras with monitoring stations
- Individual door alarms
- Well lighted
- Completely fenced
All of these things are helpful in preventing crime, however, the best deterrent might be the fact the prospective thief does not know what items are in one unit versus the next unit. The thief must choose between Unit #1 and Unit #2 as if on the "Price is Right" (or wrong in this case). This anonymous quality of self storage does well to protect your goods and is rarely (if ever) promoted by the storage operators.
