If the language used by Chatsworth self-storage centers might as well be Greek to you, you’ve come to the right blog. Although a rose by any other name might smell as sweet, it’s hard to know what some places are really trying to say with all those flowery words. Friends, Chatsworthians, countrymen, lend us your ears; we’ve come to explain storage solutions, not to bewilder you. Choosing a Facility It’s always a good idea to pick a facility that’s close to home or work. Our building is conveniently located just south of Chatsworth High, so it’s easy to get to. Look for security features. Our building is gated, requires a PIN code for entry, utilizes video-monitoring, and has an on-site residential manager. Opt for a facility that has drive-up units. If you don’t want to lug heavy thing ups stairs, choose a building with ground floor units that allow you to pull a vehicle right up to the door. Our Chatsworth self-storage facility offers ground-floor units, so you’ll never get stuck with a walk-up. Make sure there are size options. You should only pay for the amount of space you actually need, so look for buildings that will allow you to choose from different sized units. Some of ours are about as small as a bathroom, but we also have units the as big as a two-car garage. Choosing a Unit Use a size guide to estimate how much space you need. If you’re still unsure, ask one of our friendly team members for help. If you need 24/7 access to your belongings, be sure to request an unlimited access space. In our facility, these are located right by the office. Not all facilities allow you around-the-clock access to your room, and even some of our spaces are available only during certain hours. To Store… Most things will keep well in your unit for a short period of time. Commonly-stored items include: Furniture Documents Clothing Holiday décor Memorabilia Sports equipment Not to Store… You’ll need to make alternate arrangements for the following things: Temperature-sensitive items Perishable food Anything living (animals, people, and even plants) Flammable or explosive items Hazardous materials Stolen goods and other things that aren’t legal Word on the street is that “Brevity is the soul of wit,” so we kept this short and sweet.
