10 Great Self Storage Tips

1. Use a heavy, secure lock (we recommend our high security disc lock)

2. Put small items such as computer, T.V., Etc in back of the storage unit, and larger items in front (Sofa, fridge, washer & dryer).

3. Put furniture, boxes, etc. on pallets to protect against the changing temperature of a concrete floor.

4. As a precaution, use rodent bait, such as De-Con in a corner or two, or in the front and back of the unit.

5. Do not store perishable items (flour, potatoes, wheat, etc.).

6. Cover furniture and valuables with plastic to protect against dust and condensation.

7. Sofas and love seats can be stored on end to save floor space.

8. If you have stored electronic equipment such as a radio, T.V., computer, etc., let the equipment get to room temperature before plugging into a power outlet after you have vacated the storage unit.

9. Be sure to move the hasp on the storage unit all the way over so that both holes are lined up and lock it up.

10. Keep the office informed of your current address and telephone number.
