Our team of passionate experts is here to help you figure out how to add further layers of protection for the safety of your belongings. 

Key and Combination Security

The importance of key and combination security cannot be overstated. Self Storage Australia advises customers to treat access to their storage unit with utmost diligence. Only trusted individuals requiring access should handle keys or combinations, minimising the risk of unauthorised entry. You should also invest in a heavy-duty padlock. 

Maintaining Inventory for Added Assurance

For customers seeking additional peace of mind, it’s a good idea to maintain a detailed inventory of stored items. This can become a convenient reference point and provide reassurance about the location of specific belongings. 

Importance of Proper Packing for Belongings’ Safety

Did you know that proper packing can play a huge role in the safety and integrity of your belongings during their time in storage? A well-thought-out packing strategy not only protects items from damage but also facilitates efficient organisation, making retrieval hassle-free. 

What is effective packing? This starts with categorising items based on their nature and fragility. Fragile items should be individually wrapped with materials like bubble wrap or packing peanuts to absorb shocks during handling or movement. Self Storage Australia recognises the importance of organised protection, guiding customers to pack systematically to prevent breakage or damage to delicate items.

Properly packed items not only stay secure but also maximise the efficient use of storage space. When you learn how to use the right-sized boxes and containers, you can also significantly reduce the risk of items getting damaged through box shifting or collapsing. Besides, it will also keep your items safe during transport, even before they reach our storage facility!
