Storage - What The Benefits Mean For You


They say all you have to do to make a collection is to have two or more of the same things. This can be two blue bottles or two seashells, or even two thimbles. Look around your home, your car, your office, do you see two or more of the same thing? If you do congratulations, you have a collection. The nice thing about collections is it makes it easy for people to know what to buy you for gifts at Christmas and your birthday. I suspect that some people merely end up with collections to make gift buying easier for their loved ones. However it happened to you, whether it was a sudden on slaughter or a slow and steady build, you realize you have a collection that has taken over your space. Now you're asking yourself- what can I possibly do with fifty three Nome statues? Where do I store one hundred and one collector plates of dog breeds of America?

If you're ready to gain some much needed space but don't want to sacrifice your much beloved collection of troll dolls of the eighties, the answer is a storage unit.

Storage units allow you the luxury of keeping your property someplace safe from the elements and at the same time not taking up room in your home. When you look for a storage unit there are some things to keep in mind. Not all storage units are created equal. Depending on what you are looking for you can find a unit that has little to no security measures in place or units that emphasize security as a selling point to their rentals.

Most self storage rental units are accessed by their tenants through a locked gate that opens with a password that you either pick or is assigned to you by storage unit and is changed monthly. This is a good security measure to look for to keep people out who don't belong in the compound and are looking for the opportunity to steal.

Another good security measure is the use of cameras throughout the facility. Cameras should record who comes and goes and who is near the units so if something does happen to your property there is a chance that it was captured on digital for the police to review.

Of course your biggest source of security is going to be your lock. This is not the area to go cheap, get a good quality pick proof lock that can't be opened or cut off easily, especially if you don't want to find your rare collection of European clowns, missing from your storage unit, only to turn up a little worse for wear being sold on eBay by MoonDogPie67.
