Advanced Monitoring & Surveillance Systems
Extra Space Storage utilizes surveillance cameras to continuously monitor our properties. Our state-of-the-art surveillance systems help us keep track of potential incidents in real time. If someone tries to damage or even get so far as to attempt to steal property, we can review the footage and share reports with law enforcement. Plus, having advanced monitoring systems in place discourages criminal activity, so you can rest assured our secure storage facilities are a safe place for your belongings.
Regulated Access
While nearly every Extra Space Storage property is surrounded by perimeter fencing—making it more difficult for intruders to enter—many facilities have also implemented the following access features for additional security:
- Electronic Gate Access: Customers receive a personalized code to enter the property via the gate keypad, allowing the facility manager to monitor who enters and exits.
- Individually-Alarmed Units: Our individually-alarmed storage units will sound if someone tries to gain access without the unique code.
- Security Access to Your Floor Only: Some Extra Space Storage locations have multiple floors where security access is restricted to tenants with storage units on those levels.
- Bluetooth Access: Customers can use the Extra Space Storage app and its Bluetooth technology to unlock the facility gate, building entry keypads, and their unit door.
Efficient Lighting
To create the most secure storage space possible, all Extra Space Storage locations are equipped with efficient lighting. A well-lit facility allows our customers and staff to see potential hazards, reducing the risk of injuries and accidents, as well as help deter potential trespassers by removing long shadows. Good lighting also enables customers to access and use their storage units more easily—even outside of typical building operation hours.
Secure Storage Unit Locks
Extra Space Storage requires all renters to use locks for self storage units. Storage locks offer protection from theft, peace of mind, and deterrence from potential thieves. Often, we recommend customers use disc locks or cylinder locks for storage units because they provide a high level of security and are resistant to external weather conditions. For your convenience, locks are available for purchase at most Extra Space Storage facilities.
Climate Control
Climate-controlled storage units—which typically maintain a temperature between 55 and 80 degrees—can help protect sensitive items from being damaged by extreme temperatures or moisture. With several types of climate-controlled storage available, customers can find secure storage solutions that help to maintain the longevity and value of sensitive items like electronics, antiques, and more. Additionally, climate-controlled units are usually housed within a building, so they also provide indoor storage—which is an extra layer of protection from weather and intruders.
Storage Insurance
When renting self storage at Extra Space Storage, insurance is required. Storage insurance offers financial protection in the case of theft, fire, water damage, or other disasters, and it can help customers cover the loss of their belongings. While it might seem like an extra expense, storage unit insurance is worth the peace of mind you get when knowing your stored belongings are protected. Check with your rental insurance or homeowners insurance, as they sometimes cover belongings in storage units—or purchase storage insurance through Extra Space Storage!
Routine Inspections
Expect to find well-maintained facilities when you partner with Extra Space Storage. We follow consistent cleaning schedules for restrooms, office areas, and other shared spaces. Our storage facilities also go through routine inspections. To top it off, preventative pest control measures are taken regularly to help keep pests and rodents away from our facilities and units, as well.
A Team of Storage Experts
Every Extra Space Storage facility has an excellent storage staff who helps to maintain the premises. Our staff regularly works around the front desk area and near storage units, which decreases the amount of potential liability for theft. For an additional layer of self storage security, select locations have on-site resident managers. Because they live on the property, these managers can promptly respond to suspicious activity and customers can rest assured their belongings are in good hands.
