Security Benefits at a Self-Storage Facility in Orange City, FL
Let us know if this sounds familiar.
You have quite a lot of unused stuff in your house. While you want the chance to go through them and keep the ones you will use in the future, you can’t exactly do that because your house is too crowded for you to go through the items.
So what do you do?
Well, our solution for that is to look for a storage space for rent Orange City, FL. There are plenty of spaces you can look at (like Shadick Workshops)!
And if you’re worried about security, well, guess what? This blog is for that concern. You might be surprised to find that keeping your valuable items in a storage facility is actually a lot safer than keeping them at home.
Intrigued? Well, keep on reading!
What is a self-storage facility?
Before we go any further, let’s define this. A self-storage facility is basically a facility that lets you rent units where you can place your items. Storage spaces can come in different sizes – just rent one that meets your needs.
And since it’s a self-storage facility, it means you can arrange your belongings in the unit however you want. You can also access your belongings anytime as long as the facility is open, which means it’s best to get a 24/7 one.
Self-storage spaces are typically rented on a month-to-month basis.
Now that you know what a self-storage facility is, let’s move on to the security benefits of renting one. In our case, we found two major ones: physical security benefits and “peace-of-mind” benefits.
Physical security ones are basically the security measures of a self-storage facility. “Peace-of-mind” ones, on the other hand, are those that, well, give you peace-of-mind. You’ll see what we mean as we get to that section.
What are the physical security benefits of a self-storage facility?
Here are some physical security benefits that a typical self-storage facility has:
Security guards
These guys are your first deterrent against any intruders. They’ll be the ones to let you in since you’re renting, and keep anyone who’s not supposed to be there out.
A security fence
Security fences are pretty tall (at least 6 feet) and have barbed wire waiting for those who try to climb to the top. That means it’s a pretty great deterrent for anyone trying to just climb into the facility. A perpetrator will draw plenty of attention due to making plenty of noise as he climbs up the fence.
And in case he’s fit enough to scale the fence, the barbed wire will be a doozy for him to get through. He’ll probably be wondering if it’s worth the pain and wounds just to get inside.
Alarms
Sometimes, fences can be gotten past or cut. That’s why some facilities also have alarms that detect fences being climbed or cut through. Most are triggered as soon as sensors feel vibration or tilting.
Lockable security gate
Of course, even a fence needs an entrance, right? That’s where the lockable security gate comes in. That way, there’s only one real entrance for the facility.
The entrance is, of course, monitored by security personnel who won’t let just anyone in. You’ll have to show proof that you’re either currently renting a facility inside, or you’re planning to inquire.
Of course, people who show up at weird hours at night are more likely to arouse suspicion, so make sure to visit the facility at normal hours IF you’re planning to rent a space.
Night lighting with motion sensors
Without light at night, no security guard will be able to prevent any intruders from coming in the facility – they won’t be able to see, after all. That’s the reason for the night lights.
Also, it’s better if the facility has lights coupled with motion sensors. Why? Well, for any movement near the fence, the light will turn on in the direction of the motion.
If it’s just some random stray animal, fine. But if it’s someone trying to force their way in? Well, they’ll get spotted – which is a good thing!
Cameras
Storage facilities are usually very big. After all, they do offer a lot of different storage options, right? And because they’re big, no one person can monitor the whole property at one glance.
That’s the reason for the cameras. That way, even if it’s just one person monitoring from the office, they’ll be able to see everything happening in the facility, and alert other guards in case of any intrusion.
What are the “peace-of-mind” security benefits of a self-storage facility?
Now we get to the more interesting part! Here are “peace-of-mind” benefits:
The 24/7 access
Won’t you feel better knowing that your valuable items are in a safe place? And that you can access them any time you want, without having to wait for morning to come or without having to rush to the facility before it closes for the day?
That’s especially important if, say, you’re storing important documents related to work and you need to retrieve them immediately.
The space is customizable according to your needs.
With life in general, it’s always annoying to not have choices, right? With self-storage facilities, you’ll ALWAYS get choices on how to arrange your things. That means for example, if you want to store important items at certain spots and in certain ways, you can!
You’ll know where your things are.
One more benefit of self-storage facilities is that you’ll always know where you put your things. No more looking for anything in the house frantically – you know that if you need it, it’s in the storage unit!
