Security First

Security is a top priority when storing anything valuable. Look for self-storage facilities that offer features such as 24/7 surveillance, gated access, and individual locks on units. These added measures give you peace of mind, knowing that your items are protected from theft or unauthorised access.

Whether it's a small collection or an entire archive of precious documents, security should always be a consideration.

Proper Packaging Matters

For extra protection, always pack valuables in high-quality materials such as acid-free paper, bubble wrap, and sturdy boxes. Proper packing prevents damage from shifting, moisture, or dust while your items are stored.

If you're unsure about packing techniques, many container store options can provide advice and packing materials, helping you store your treasures safely.

Document and Insure

For added protection, create an inventory of the items you're storing. This record will not only help you keep track of your belongings, but it’s also essential for insurance purposes.

Easy Retrieval When Needed

The beauty of self-storage is that you can access your valuables when necessary. Whether you need a document or want to check on your collection, flexible access hours mean your precious items are never out of reach.
