How can I tell if my storage facility is safe?

Nowadays, safety is a key element of just about everything we do. Good safety habits begin in your own home, and are then translated to the street. A lot of storage facilities claim to safely house your goods, but how can you be certain you're actually getting what you're paying for? Here are some tips to make sure you're getting the best and most secure storage for your household treasures, whatever they may be.

The first thing you should look at when choosing a storage facility is the fencing. Is it well maintained and solid, or are there gaps? Is it easy to climb? Is some kind of climbing deterrent such as barbed or razor wire lining the top, to discourage thieves from coming in on foot? Are the gates solid, or better, electronically controlled with a pass code? Key codes and good fences are your first line of defense when it comes to making sure your valuables are secure.

Then there's the area itself. Are there places near the gate someone can hide? Are there multiple ways in or out? Is the area covered by cameras? Is the space itself open, making the movements of others readily visible? The answers to all of these questions can be a red flag in themselves. If the answer to any of them is no, you would do better to choose another storage option, not only for your belongings, but for your own personal safety.

Finally, look at the interior. Are there pipes which could burst out in the open? Do the doors feature locking mechanisms that are difficult to break? Does someone stay on the premises, or do they have some other form of roving security?

There are a lot of good storage options, but few of them include all the security and safety features you would expect when storing your precious belongings. Maximum Security Self Storage is SE Queensland's leader for secure, reasonably priced storage, designed with the safety of goods and patrons alike in mind. Anywhere you go, consider the questions posed above. If the answer to any of them isn't a good one, don't take chances. Make sure the facility you choose is built to safeguard your belongings and still offer you safety whenever you're on the grounds.
