For those who are unfamiliar with storage units and storage facilities, it can be difficult to tell the difference between one storage unit facility and another. How are you supposed to know what qualities or features to look for when choosing a storage unit facility? Three key things are absolutely critical when choosing a storage unit facility: security at the storage unit facility, convenience and ease of access of your storage unit, and whether the storage unit facility has temperature controlled storage units. Will My Belongings Be Protected? One thing to look for that is very important when you are choosing a storage unit facility is if the facility seems to have good security measures in place. Whether you are storing valuable items or belongings that are loaded with sentimental value, you want the belongings that you put into storage to remain secure and protected from theft. Look for the following security measures at the storage unit facility: A fence surrounding the grounds of the storage unit facility; A passcode protected access gate; Security cameras around the facility; Good lighting in and around the facility; Locks on each storage unit; and A sprinkler system in the storage building. Choose a Storage Unit Facility That Is Convenient Another primary consideration when choosing a storage unit facility is convenience. You want a storage unit facility site that is close to your home, is easy to get to, and is accessible, meaning you can go to your storage unit when you need to. Do you need to be able to drive directly up to your storage unit? Is it easy to get to your storage unit once you are in the facility? Do not hesitate to check out a storage unit facility in person to make sure that it offers you the convenience and security you desire before you commit to a lease for a storage unit. In addition to this, you will want to choose a facility that has an easy sign up procedure and an easy lease termination process. A storage unit facility that makes you complete too much paperwork is overly burdensome and time-consuming, and is not convenient. Also consider whether the staff at the storage unit facility is friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Units With Temperature Control Options In the warm California weather, having the option to get a temperature controlled storage unit is essential. There are any number of personal belongings that require a temperature controlled environment. Your belongings might need to be protected from being too hot, too cold, or from a humid environment, and a storage unit with a regulated temperature can address these concerns.
