Why to Choose a Gated Storage Facility in Texas

Chances are that security is high up on your list of priorities when you’re looking for a storage unit. Whether you’re storing personal belongings, moving boxes or business inventory, you want to make sure your belongings will remain in the same condition you left them, untouched by anyone but you. Gated storage facilities are one of the safest, most secure options, ensuring that you’ll never have to worry about any of your store items. Let’s take a look at what makes gated storage facilities such a good choice for all types of storage, as well as how to find a great facility here in Texas. What is a Gated Storage Facility? Gated storage offers many benefits over non-gated facilities. As their name suggests, they have a gated front entry that you must pass through in order to access the facility. Every renter and staff member has their own unique passcode to enter the facility. For extra security, the perimeter of gated facilities is also surrounded by a fence. All these measures ensure that unwanted trespassers are kept out. The only people who will have access to the premises are the ones who should be there. Standard storage facilities, on the other hand, lack some or all of these security features. The facility is more likely to attract trespassers, vandals and even thieves — something no renter wants to experience. What are the Benefits of Gated Storage Facilities? Top Security Features No matter what you’re storing, you want to ensure that you’re the only one who has access to your belongings. Gated facilities give you that extra reassurance. As well as a gated entry and perimeter fence, these facilities often have thorough security measures. At Texas Mega Storage, for example, we’re proud of our state-of-the-art security features.

Why Would You Want a Storage Unit with Security and Cameras?

Security

Storage units are an excellent place to keep your belongings, but many do not have cameras and other security measures to watch the units. If you’re looking for a storage center, you might ponder what type is best. Is there a reason you might want a unit with security and cameras instead of one that is more laid back? If you’re interested in learning more about why you need a storage unit with security and cameras, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn more about why it’s ideal to invest in a location with plenty of security, no matter what you’re storing inside the lockers. It will make a world of difference for your belongings and locker experience. Storage Facilities with Premium Security Constant Security One of the best parts of additional security and cameras on a storage unit is constant security. Rather than only daylight observation by staff, your belongings have a watchful eye on them every hour of the day. If there is an issue, it’s possible to act on it much faster and provide you with peace of mind even if you are far away. Not only does constant security make it less likely your items will be stolen, but it also ensures you have video backup in case a criminal incident takes place. The police will look at the video and determine the culprit, opening up an opportunity to get your items back. Security around the clock is a luxury you should invest in for your storage facility experience. It will make everything much easier on your end. Peace of Mind Cameras and additional forms of security bring peace of mind while you are away from your belongings. Instead of worrying about their safety, you can leave the unit knowing everything is as secure as possible. A weight lifted off your shoulders will make a difference in your life. Everyone is familiar with that feeling of leaving your precious belongings in a random location and feeling nervous about their well-being while ...

Best Security for a Storage Unit

Security

When protecting your personal belongings, finding a secure storage unit is essential. Before you book your unit, there are a few things to consider. Ask your local storage unit facility if they provide these security measures at their storage unit. 1. Fully Manned 24/7 CCTV Surveillance CCTV surveillance is one of the most important things to look for in a storage facility, as it will allow you to see what's going on around your unit 24 hours a day. If you have any concerns about damage or theft from another customer or their belongings, you can review CCTV footage to see if anything happened while you weren't there. CCTV coverage should cover all entrances, exits, and corridors leading up to each unit. Suppose your unit is in an open area without direct access to CCTV cameras. In that case, air conditioning units often obscure camera views so that no one can see inside your unit without entering through an entrance. The level of coverage also depends on how many people work at the facility during opening hours and whether they have direct access to each unit — if so, fewer cameras are needed than if only staff members with keys can access each. 2. Adequate Lighting If you've ever walked around your neighborhood at night, you know how dark it can be. It's even darker when it's inside a building or area that doesn't have adequate lighting. This darkness can cause problems for customers and staff members who work late at the facility. For example, if someone wanted to break into your unit, they could easily do so without anyone noticing until it was too late. That is especially true if your access code has been compromised by someone who knows your personal information or has access to it through hacking into your accounts online or by phone. The best way to ensure that your properties are safe is through adequate lighting throughout the property. Not only will this help keep people out of storage units ...
