Understanding storage unit security

When deciding to entrust your valuable possessions to a storage facility, security should be a top-tier priority. Storage units, like the ones offered by blue self storage, are devoted to preserving the safety and integrity of your items. Their multi-faceted security approach serves to deter potential threats and provide you with peace of mind.

Security begins at the entry point

What truly defines the security of a storage unit? It’s an amalgamation of numerous protective elements, all designed to create a fortress for your possessions. We enforce a rigorous identification process at its guard-controlled entry point, allowing entry only with a verified photo ID. This strict access control ensures all visitors to the facility are vetted, monitored and managed, laying the groundwork for effective security.

We even undertake penetration tests early hours of the morning with no warning. These pressurised trials test guards in real time.

Security team and patrol dogs

Equally critical is the presence of an in-house professional security team. Round-the-clock vigilance is maintained through their consistent monitoring of CCTV feeds and regular patrols around the facility. At blue self storage, this security detail even includes patrols by highly trained dogs, providing an additional layer of security.

Alarmed perimeter fencing

Supplementing human and tech-based security, physical barriers like alarmed perimeter fencing provide a tangible defence against potential intruders. At blue self storage, these alarms provide immediate alerts to the security personnel in case of a breach, enabling them to react promptly.

Pest control is a crucial security aspect

While it might not be your first thought when considering security, pest control plays a crucial part in protecting stored items. At blue self storage, a specialised team tackles pest-related issues, ensuring your possessions are safe from any damage that pests could cause.
