If you read last week’s article about organising your self storage space, you should be well on your way to making the most of self storage. However, there is another factor to consider before choosing a self storage facility.

When you have moved all of your possessions in and the unit door is shut, how do you make sure all of your belongings are kept safe? Even without seemingly high-value items, the total value within your single storage unit can really add up. Your flat screen TV didn’t come cheap, and the vintage collection of vinyl albums is also worth a bit. Keeping it safe is important.

Secure self storage

As a self storage user you need to strike a balance between accessibility and security. Here are the things you need to check when choosing a self storage service:

24 hour CCTV

We have a state of the art CCTV system monitoring our facility 24 hours a day. Our security partner monitors the building, even when our staff are offsite. This means that our secure self storage units are always under the watchful eye of our local security experts.

Alarms

All of our storage rooms are alarmed and padlocked. This means that if someone tries to gain unauthorised access to your unit, we will be alerted to it immediately. In addition we have comprehensive Intruder and Fire alarms all monitored locally for your added peace of mind.

Gated Access

Our facility has secure perimeter fencing and access gates that can only be controlled by customer and staff PIN codes. This means that the site is a secure self storage option, even when staff are offsite.

Onsite Staff

We have a team of well trained staff on site 7 days a week. They can help you with your storage and are well-equipped to deal with all of our security measures. Their knowledge and experience ensures that we are a secure self storage facility.

Pin Access

To ensure that our facility is secure and that access to Rent A Space is granted only to those storing with us, we have two external pin access points then at additional throughout the building all with unique customer pin codes.
Secure self storage with mobile patrols.

Mobile Patrols

Our external security partners are professionals and they are on hand to watch the facility when staff are offsite. They will attend the facility should an alarm activate, ensuring that we are a secure self storage facility around the clock.
