How Can I Make My Storage Unit More Secure?

Storage units are really handy when we need to store something safe for a period of time. But in using them we find that we are placing valuables away the security of our homes. Is there anything you can do to ensure that your unit is as safe as your own property?

Here are some tips to help you make your storage unit more secure.

Storage Unit Company Security

The security of your storage unit begins before you get to your unit. It starts with the company holding the units.

Before you decide on a unit to use you should ensure that the company has video surveillance. This acts as a deterrent for many people with criminal intent and helps to provide extra security for your unit.

It is also a big plus if the storage unit has 24 hour on site management, is always well lit, and has individual alarms for each unit.

However, there are other things you can do to protect your unit beyond relying on the company.

Storage Unit Company Security

Some storage companies supply you with locks for your unit. But there is nothing to stop you from using a high quality security lock of your own. Locks with the following features will make it hard for burglars to gain access to your storage unit.

  • Anti-bumping features.
  • Lock picking resistance.
  • Drill resistant.
  • Heavy duty.
  • Restricted keys (no unauthorised copying of keys).
  • Strong bolt strength.

No lock is going to be 100% effective in securing your goods, but the stronger and more complex they are, the harder it will be for criminals to bypass and the more likely they will select another unit to break into rather than yours?.

Other things you can do to protect your unit include keeping a full inventory item list and checking on your unit regularly.

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
