Self-storage units are useful in a range of scenarios, such as making space in your house, storing furniture between moves, storing business inventory, or a change of relationship status. In any case, Moor Room has the storage space for rent that Melbournians can rely on to keep valuable items safe and sound, removing the stress of keeping tabs on it all.
We provide 24/7 access to your storage unit, with a dedicated CCTV camera and alarm covering all units, at all times. Not to mention the sealed design of our unit doors and heavy-duty locks available from our store.
But if our security measures still aren’t enough to help you sleep, consider these further tips:
Take Out Insurance
Some self-storage facilities will require an insurance policy to be taken out before moving your items in. Moor Room sites are alarmed with 24/7 video surveillance for maximum security of your belongings. Moor Room does not mandate insurance, but we recommend it.
Taking out insurance is a responsible and respectable way to help you sleep at night, just make sure that all the items you do store with us are covered under your policy.
Protect Your Key Or Combination
You wouldn’t give your house key to someone you don’t trust completely, so treat the access to your storage unit with the same diligence. Only those who need access to the storage unit should handle a key or be trusted with a combination. Keep this group of people to a minimum, if it even needs to be accessed by more than yourself. If someone you don’t trust completely asks to store something in your unit, just tell them about Moor Room’s great prices and how they can rent their own!
Further, make sure to buy your own lock and don’t trust anyone to lend you theirs. Keys are easy to copy nowadays and buying your lock can reduce the risk of this happening.
Keep A List
To be as safe and sure as possible that your belongings are secure, keep an inventory of everything you’ve stored. This is more for convenience compared to our other tips, as it will reassure you of where certain items are for those moments you start stressing.
If you’ve rented multiple storage units, be sure to keep these lists separate, removing any confusion when you open one unit looking for an item that’s not in there.
Taking photos of your items is also a reliable way to keep tabs on your inventory, providing proof it was stored at one point in the event of a robbery.
Ensure Your Unit Is Indoors
All of Moor Room’s storage units are indoors for an added layer of security. This can be an important consideration for those afraid of floods or theft, as indoor units are far less vulnerable than outdoor.
Indoor units are also able to be climate controlled which can improve the longevity of frail items that you might store such as books.
