How to Select a Lock for Your Storage Unit

The three most common types of locks include combination locks, padlocks, and disk locks. Let’s discuss each one separately.

Combination Locks
Combination locks require no keys, so they’re easy to use. However, there are downfalls. First, you need to remember your combination. Forget it, and you’ll be spending time, either guessing or using a hacksaw to break it off. Second, if hacksaw or bolt cutters will work for you, then they’ll work for others as well. Third, many will eventually rust or corrode and will need replacing. Pay extra for a heavy-duty lock with a thick, short shackle made of hardened steel that resists prying, sawing, and cutting. Check the size of the latch and find the largest lock that will fit.

Padlocks
Padlocks use keys, which manipulate pins inside the cylinder to unleash the shackle. How many spy movies have we seen where a keyed lock gets picked within seconds, given the right tools? They can also be rekeyed easily or opened with a bump key. Look for a high-quality lock with a thick, short shackle and bumping countermeasures.

Disk Locks
Disk locks typically cost more. The shrouded design shields the shackle, protecting it from bolt cutters, and some have circular keys making it challenging to pick. Sure, you could grind this lock off with a skill saw, but that would make noise and requires electricity.

The reality is that, given the right tools and enough time, any lock can be disabled. Sunlight, rain, the lock’s size, materials used, and outside temperatures all affect the usefulness and longevity. Sorry for the pun, but the “key” here is to use a lock that causes a would-be thief to pass over your unit because it will cause a commotion, or take too long to open, leaving them vulnerable to the prying “eyes” of security cameras.

Nine Self-Storage Ideas

Self-storage is an affordable way to store your belongings long or short term or to store items while transitioning into another place. Having a place to save what is valuable to you can make life easier in many situations. Here are nine self-storage benefits that might improve your life.

Self-storage benefits for your business
If you have extra equipment, office supplies, or business inventory, a self-storage unit can be a good option. Having an off-site place to store other business-related items will help keep your work environment organized and look great when clients visit.

You need to transition after a divorce
If you have to move your belongings out of the family home because of divorce, it may be useful to rent a self-storage unit. You can rent a unit on a month-by-month basis and cancel when you have a new place. Although it may be challenging to put your belongings in storage, there are many security features that will keep them safe during this transitional phase.

You have retired
Many people decide to sell their homes to travel after retirement. If you plan on traveling after retirement, a self-storage unit is a great place to keep the sentimental items you don’t wish to sell. In this specific case, retiring may mean downsizing your living situation. Whether you need to store an entire home or just a few boxes, there are a wide variety of units to meet your unique needs.

You need to store items for winter
If you live in an area with harsh winter weather conditions, it is an excellent idea to protect your yard equipment and outdoor furniture. Consider an indoor self-storage unit if you have items that are sensitive to weather changes or damage.

You are a frequent traveler
Your job may require you to travel often, or you may go for recreation. If you have bulky items that are too inconvenient to take every time you leave home, consider storing them. With a self-storage unit, you can move your valuable items and know they will be protected while you are gone.

You have to declutter your home
If your belongings are taking over and making it hard to walk through your house comfortably, renting a self-storage unit can help. Spacious and organized living space will make you feel more comfortable and happier about your home.

You need storage for your sports or hobby equipment
A passion for one or more hobbies might be an essential part of your life. If you have bulky sports equipment that is only used during part of the year, a self-storage unit can keep it safe. You can even store some sport vehicles in a storage facility, but be sure to verify all regulations and laws before doing this.

You have decided to downsize
Before you move to a smaller space, you might want to rent a self-storage unit. This convenient space can hold your belongings while deciding what you need to get rid of and what will fit into your smaller home. You can keep the self-storage unit even after you have moved if you do not have enough room to hold everything you own. Consider placing them in a self-storage unit if you have furniture and valuables that you do not want to sell or give away.

You are moving home
College students may not have enough room to hold everything they have accumulated while living at school. If you have to move back in with your parents, they may not have space for your belongings. A self-storage unit solves this problem by giving you space and giving your parents peace of mind.
