Security Features A Self-Storage Must Have!



A Self-Storage Facility is a place where one can store items in different units that hold an emotional or monetary value for the person. These units are either used for Personal or Commercial Storage. These items that are stored include - jewellery pieces, antiques, collection sets, furniture, electronic appliances, vehicles, business products, glass items and many others. They can be stored for different periods such as one month, three months, six months or one year.  

Securing these items is the ultimate goal of any storage facility. Storage companies are upgrading their security system to offer top-class security features and protection to their customers' items. The more these services are of better quality, the more customers will be lured. 

List Of Security Features A Storage Unit Must Have

1. Proper Electric Supply 

A Storage Facility must have a proper electricity supply to operate its functions smoothly. They are furnished with automated systems like Entry Gates, CCTVs, Padlocks, etc. These are powered by an electric supply. Without it, the facility cannot run.  

2. Enough Lighting 

The Storage Facility must have enough lighting as its operations are running non-stop. Every corner of the facility must be visible. A well-lit facility will help the staff to move around without stumbling and falling and, keep an eye on the units, in turn, avoiding thefts or any dubious activity. 

3. Electric Fencing 

As the facility stores valuable items, there are chances of theft. A thief can enter the premises by jumping over the wall. To prevent this, the facility must be surrounded by strong electric fencing. 

4. Motion Detectors 

Motion Detectors can sense the unwanted movement around the facility and send an alert if it finds one though.   

5. Security At The Gates 

Security guards at the gates will 24/7 keep an eye on whose entering and leaving the facility. Accordingly, they record these timings in the book. They even make sure no unknown person is allowed to enter the premises. 

6. 24/7 CCTV 

24/7 CCTV is one of the important security features a storage unit must have. It captures and records every movement done around the storage units. Any suspicious activity can be detected and appropriate action can be taken. 

7. Quick Access For Unit Owners 

A fingerprint scanner helps in accessing the storage unit for the owners, prohibiting the entry of an intruder. 

8. Temperature Controlled Units 

These storage units are equipped with a temperature-controlled system. The temperature can be changed as per the items stored inside these units. This enables the continuous airflow inside these units and stops the creation of any foul odour. These units also have water sprinklers and fire extinguishers in case of fire. 

9. Insurance Provider 

The Storage units provide insurance cover to the goods’ owners. It covers any damage that may occur during transit or storage of the goods. The damages that occur during this period are paid by the storage companies.
