The self storage managers see to it that each and every item in the storehouse is provided maximum safety. Any firm providing public storing utilities takes some basic security features. These are as follows.

• The first thing that they do after allotting the tenants a storing area is to provide each and every tenant a PIN number that uniquely identifies him as the owner of the property that has been kept in the storehouse. All the items that are from a particular tenant with a specific PIN number are kept securely in a closet with a matching code. This ensures that only the person in possession of a unique PIN number has access to his property and not anyone else.
• The self storage managers also equip the storing areas with more security features like electronic gates which open to the tenants only when they identify them either by their identification numbers or biometric identification. Biometric identification is a more efficient method of identification in comparison to identification cards and pin numbers.
• Some of the storing areas have close circuit televisions fitted in their campus, so that every movement of a person who is in the premises is observed and recorded.
• Some firms provide insurance for the items stored in them. There are different types of insurance coverage for different types of items. The tenants should ask the self storage managers about the insurance coverage that their items can be put under. A tenant can opt for an exclusive insurance cover if he wants to. The insurance schemes that are generally offered for items in the public storehouses give protection against burglaries and thefts and also against natural calamities such as, fire, floods and earthquakes. It is recommended that all tenants protect their items that are stored in the public storehouse by placing them under one or the other insurance scheme. Otherwise these items might run the risk of being damaged or stolen.
• Self storage managers restrict the time of access of the storehouses in an attempt to provide enhanced security to the items placed in the storehouses. They have specific hours during which the tenants identify themselves at the entry point to the storehouses before entering them and accessing their belongings. There are certain firms that allow their tenants to enter their storing areas at all times of the day. But they have very strong security checks which may be automated for humanized systems.
• The tenants are asked to provide their personal information and the purpose of storing their items in the public storehouse before they are allotted any area. Suspicious items, such as arms and ammunition are not allowed to be stored in the storehouses.
