At Jorvik Self Storage, we understand that security and convenience are key factors when choosing Self Storage in York. Whether you’re downsizing, moving home, or simply decluttering, our Self Storage York facility offers peace of mind with its robust security features and flexible options.
The idea of
self-storage being unsafe is actually a bit dated. These days, we use the highest tech available to help make your units as secure as possible.
But we are also fully aware of any security risks associated with self-storage units. And we’ve made it our job to help you to mitigate these risks.
Here are some tips to help keep your storage units safer:
TheftWhether you’re
storing vehicles or
business documents, any premises could be a target for theft.
While we provide locks, CCTV and on-site security, it’s worth you doing your own checks. Keep track of who has access to your keys or any codes for locks. Don’t let anyone into your unit you don’t trust and watch our for people tailgating into your unit.
FireWhether caused accidentally or through arson, fire at storage units can be devastating.
We have on-site extinguishers and smoke detectors. To help prevent fires, don’t store anything that could be a fire risk near combustible materials.
WeatherThe final risk to your storage units is the weather. If you don’t lock and secure the door to your outdoor storage unit, it could allow rain to enter and cause damp, rot and animal infestation.
Always check that doors are shut and if any water gets in during your visit or you spill liquids, dry them up right away.
