Self Storage Tips

The following tips will help you make the best use of your locker space and ensure safe and secure storage for your belongings:

• Rent the smallest space you need and pack it full. Contact us for information on donation and recycling centers in the area to pass on those quality goods you don't really need and can't throw away.
• A box for everything and everything in a box is the best protection of your goods. Use uniform sizes and boxes and stack them shoulder-high to maximize your total locker space.
• Leave a small air space between the goods stored and the locker walls.
• Store lightweight, small items around the back of the locker. Move large, heavy items into storage last.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture.
• Protect your mattresses, sofas, and chairs with specially designed plastic covers.
• Cover the entire load with a light plastic cover.
• Use a good quality lock on your locker door.
• Insure your goods while in storage. Your homeowner's policy may provide coverage. If not, ask the manager about self storage insurance at reasonable rates.
