How Secure is Self Storage?

When it comes to storing your valuable belongings, security is a top priority. At Bolt Storage, we understand that safety matters to our customers, and we’ve put in place robust measures to keep your items safe. Let’s explore what makes our storage facilities secure and what you should look for when choosing a storage unit.

Understanding Storage Security

Before diving into the specifics, let’s talk about why security in self-storage is essential. As self-storage becomes more popular, so do concerns about safety. You want to know that your items are protected from theft and damage while in storage. That's why understanding the security features of your storage facility is crucial.

Key Security Features at Bolt Storage

At Bolt Storage, we have a range of security features designed to give you peace of mind:

1. CCTV Surveillance

One of the most effective security measures we have is CCTV surveillance. Our facilities are equipped with video cameras that monitor the premises around the clock. This allows us to keep a watchful eye on everything happening in and around our storage units. If there’s ever an incident, we can quickly review footage to address any theft or damage with the authorities.

2. Fenced and Gated Facilities

Most of our facilities are fenced and gated, creating a physical barrier to unauthorized access. This extra layer of security helps deter potential thieves, making it clear that we take the safety of your belongings seriously. Access is restricted to only those who need it—our customers.

3. Electronic Gate Access

We also use electronic gate access. Each customer receives a personalized access code, so you know who is entering and leaving the property. This way, you can rest assured that only authorized individuals can access the facility. It’s a simple yet effective way to maintain security.

Keeping Your Belongings Secure

While we do our best to keep your items safe, you can also take steps to enhance security:

• Choose a Secure Facility: Always check the security features of the facility before renting. Make sure it has comprehensive measures in place, like the ones we offer at Bolt Storage.
• Use Strong Locks: If your unit allows you to choose your own lock, opt for a robust one. A disc lock is generally more secure than standard padlocks.
• Visit Your Unit Regularly: Regular visits to your unit can help deter theft. Burglars often target units that appear neglected, so checking in occasionally keeps your belongings safer.
• Inventory Your Items: Keep a list of what you have stored. This can help you notice if anything goes missing and provides peace of mind.

Conclusion

At Bolt Storage, your security is our priority. With our CCTV surveillance, fenced and gated facilities, electronic gate access, and other robust measures, you can trust that your belongings are safe with us. Whether you're storing household items, business inventory, or personal treasures, we’ve got you covered. Always remember to choose a secure facility and take personal steps to protect your items, and you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with self-storage.
