Storage Tips: Secure Self Storage Guide

At Blue Bear Self Storage, the security of your belongings is our top priority. We understand that when you choose self storage, you’re trusting us with your treasured possessions. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure our sites are among the most secure self storage facilities available.

Our Comprehensive Security Measures

We take extensive measures to provide the highest levels of security for your peace of mind. Our secure self storage facilities are equipped with 24/7 monitored CCTV, ensuring constant surveillance of all activity on-site. Each location is fully fenced and features gated access that requires a unique security code or app entry, adding an extra layer of protection.

To further enhance security, our sites are fitted with sensor-activated floodlights, providing bright, motion-triggered lighting that deters unauthorized access and ensures visibility at all times. We also conduct ID checks on all customers to maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone.

Our storage units themselves are designed with your security in mind. Built to be weatherproof and insulated with Grafotherm technology, they protect your belongings from damp, condensation, and extreme temperatures. This means your items stay safe and in pristine condition, no matter the weather outside.

How You Can Enhance Your Security

While we provide top-tier secure self storage, there are steps you can take to further protect your belongings. Always ensure your container is locked with a high-quality padlock, and use the metal lockbox provided on each unit to house your padlock securely. Never leave items outside your container, as they won’t be covered by our security measures.

It’s also important to treat your access codes, padlock combinations, and keys like sensitive information. Never share them with others, and store keys in a safe location only you can access. If your codes or keys are ever compromised, notify us immediately so we can update your security settings and keep your belongings protected.

Correct storage method

When packing and storing your items, take care to use shelving or pallets to keep boxes and belongings off the floor. This helps protect them from potential damage and ensures proper airflow within the container. Avoid blocking the container vents, as they are designed to maintain airflow and stabilize temperatures. Additionally, never store wet items, as they can damage other belongings. If you have any concerns or questions you can check out our FAQs here.

While we pride ourselves on our approach to security across all our sites, we still need our customers to be conscious of small details which can further help us in providing a secure environment. Being mindful of your packing and how you choose to store your items when placing them in your container is another crucial factor for providing total peace of mind.
