Frequently Asked Questions

Do Storage Units Come with Alarms?

Yes, select Extra Space Storage locations have storage unit alarm systems, as well as other high-quality security features like video surveillance, electronic gate access, and more. Call your local facility for details on amenities before reserving your space.

How Do Individually-Alarmed Storage Units Work?

Individually-alarmed storage units are units that sound an alarm if someone attempts to gain access without the correct access code. This allows you to have exclusive access to your rented space and belongings.

What Are the Benefits of Individually-Alarmed Units?

Renting a unit with an individual self storage alarm enhances security by detecting unauthorized access attempts. Units with this feature can offer customers more peace of mind and a quicker staff response. Storage unit door alarms are especially recommended when storing valuable antiques or sentimental belongings.

Can I Upgrade My Storage Unit to be Individually-Alarmed?

Extra Space Storage cannot guarantee individually-alarmed storage unit upgrades, as availability depends on facility infrastructure. However, if you ask a site manager about alarmed units for rent, there may be an available unit you can reserve and transfer to.
