Self Storage Tips:

• Purchase a high quality lock.  Preferably a cylinder lock.
• Break down large items such as bed frames, tables, and large furniture to maximize space.
• Use valuable space inside drawers and larger appliances, such as stoves and refrigerators, to store smaller items
• Label boxes on all sides for easy identification.
• Make sure fragile boxes are placed on top of heavier, less delicate boxes.
• Place items you may need later towards the front of your unit. Less frequently needed items should be placed in the rear of your unit.
• When storing business files, leave a walkway down the center of your unit to make access easier.
• Use tarps or furniture covers to protect from dust and moving pads to keep items off the floor.
• Boxes that are tightly sealed with packing tape will prevent dust from entering.
• Consider using pest control spray or rodent bait in your unit to prevent unwanted guests.
• Drain any fluids prior to storing leaf blowers, lawnmowers, and other equipment.
• Do not store anything flammable (such as paint or other chemicals) or perishables.
• Do not store hazardous or combustible materials.
• Check on stored items periodically to ensure there are no issues.
