SELF STORAGE SECURITY FEATURES

Electronic Gate Access

Electronic gate access adds an extra layer of security and convenience to your self storage experience at Extra Space Storage! This security feature means our storage facility is closed off with a main gate or door that can only be opened with a code entered on an electronic keypad. This feature helps manage access to the facility by providing each customer with their own entry code.

Video Surveillance

At Extra Space Storage, we understand the importance of security when choosing a place to store your belongings. That's why many of our facilities offer video surveillance as an added security feature. Cameras placed in designated areas of the property help support facility oversight and provide an additional layer of security throughout your storage experience.

On-Site Resident Managers

Every Extra Space Storage facility has an excellent storage staff who help to maintain the premises. Our staff regularly works around the front desk area and near storage units, helping provide an attentive presence throughout the property. For an additional layer of self storage security, select locations have on-site resident managers. Because they live on the property, these managers provide an additional on-site presence and can help address facility-related concerns.

Individually-Alarmed Storage Units

At a self storage facility that offers individually-alarmed units, each storage unit is outfitted with its own security system, meaning an alarm will sound if an unauthorized person attempts to access the unit. Like electronic gate access, this unit security system can only be disarmed with a unique code.

Security Access to Your Floor Only

Some Extra Space Storage facilities have multiple floors accessible by stairs or passenger elevators. Many of our multi-level facilities have security features that limit customer access to the floor where their storage unit is located. Similar to electronic gate access, this feature helps manage access throughout the facility and provides an additional layer of security.

Secure Storage Unit Locks

A sturdy lock is an important part of securing your storage unit. Extra Space Storage requires all renters to use a lock, and we often recommend disc locks or cylinder locks for their durable designs. Some facilities require a specific lock type, so be sure to check with your facility to confirm which locks are compatible with your unit. For your convenience, locks are available for purchase at most Extra Space Storage facilities.

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. This is an added layer of security in addition to storage unit locks, and makes it easy to enter the facility with just your phone.

Efficient Lighting

Extra Space Storage facilities feature lighting to help create a convenient and welcoming storage experience. Well-lit areas throughout the property help improve visibility, making it easier for customers to navigate the facility and access their storage units. Whether you're moving belongings in or out of storage, facility lighting helps make the process easier, especially during early morning or evening hours.

Climate Control

Climate-controlled storage units, which typically maintain temperatures between 55 and 80 degrees, help protect sensitive items from damage caused by extreme temperatures. 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 in a building, providing the added benefit of indoor storage, limiting exposure to outdoor weather, and offering an extra barrier to unauthorized access.

Storage Insurance

Extra Space Storage requires insurance when renting a storage unit. Storage insurance helps provide financial protection against theft, fire, water damage, and other covered disasters, helping customers cover the loss of their belongings. Storage insurance can be a valuable way to manage unexpected expenses from damaged or lost belongings. For convenient coverage, customers can purchase storage insurance through Extra Space Storage or check whether their existing renters or homeowners insurance policy covers belongings in storage.
