Self-storage facilities are often targeted by thieves, so it’s
important to have robust security measures in place to protect your renters and
their belongings. Here are some common security features that self-storage
facilities use:
· Property fencing: Installing a fence around your facility is a basic step toward protecting your renters’ belongings from theft. A property full of shiny, expensive vehicles is definitely more likely to attract theft, and you’ll likely want to opt for razor wire and cut-resistant mesh over attractive (but less secure) ornamental fencing. If you’re in a high-crime area, you’ll also want to consider heavy-duty commercial fencing that is both climb and cut-resistant.
· Security cameras and video monitoring: Security cameras are an essential part of any self-storage facility’s security system. They can help deter theft and vandalism, and provide valuable evidence in the event of a break-in.
· Gate and digital gate operator (double lock): Apart from your physical locks, a gate with a digital gate operator is an effective way to control access to your facility. Renters can enter the gate using a code, and the gate will automatically close behind them.
·
Insurance on all rented self storage: they are not
immune to risks. Storage unit
insurance is a type of insurance that financially protects your personal
possessions in a storage unit from problems like theft, vandalism, and weather.
While your business,
renters, insurance policy probably gives you some coverage, it is likely
limited when it comes to off-premises insurance for belongings located away
from your house. Having storage unit insurance in place can be a financial safety
net in case things go wrong.
