The things you store — family heirlooms, business inventory, tools, vehicles — matter too much to leave to chance. That's why SuperStorage facilities are built around layered security, starting at the gate.
With gated entry, personal access codes, video surveillance, and on-site management, you can lock up, drive away, and know your belongings are protected.
Why High Security Matters at a Storage Facility
When you rent a storage unit, you're trusting the facility with things you can't easily replace. Strong security is the difference between a place to keep your stuff and a place you can rely on.
- Keeps unauthorized visitors out. A gated perimeter means only renters with valid access can get onto the property.
- Deters theft before it happens. Visible cameras, gates, and good lighting discourage would-be intruders from trying in the first place.
- Creates accountability. Personal gate codes and video footage create a record of who comes and goes.
- Protects more than units. RVs, boats, and vehicles parked outdoors benefit from a secured, monitored lot.
- Gives you peace of mind. You shouldn't have to worry about your belongings every time you leave the facility.
When comparing storage facilities, security should be near the top of your checklist — right alongside size, price, and convenience.
Security Features at SuperStorage
Our facilities use several layers of protection that work together. Features vary by location, so check your facility's page for details.
Gated Entry
A secured perimeter with a controlled gate keeps the property closed to the public. Only active renters can drive or walk onto the grounds.
Personal Gate Codes
Every renter gets a unique access code. Codes aren't shared between customers, so each entry is tied to an individual account.
24-Hour Video Surveillance
Cameras monitor the property around the clock, covering entry points, driveways, and parking areas. Footage acts as both a deterrent and a record.
Bright, Well-Lit Grounds
Good lighting around buildings and parking areas improves visibility for cameras and makes visits safer and more comfortable.
ID Verification
Renters verify their identity when setting up an account, which helps make sure only legitimate customers have access.
On-Site Management
Managers on the property during office hours keep an eye on the facility, walk the grounds, and address concerns quickly.
Tips to Keep Your Unit Secure
Facility security works best when paired with a few simple habits.
- Use a strong lock. A disc or cylinder lock is harder to cut than a standard padlock.
- Keep your gate code private. Never share it, and don't let others follow you through the gate.
- Close the gate behind you. Wait for it to fully close when entering or leaving.
- Store valuables out of sight. Place high-value items toward the back of the unit.
- Insure your belongings. Protection plans or renters insurance add a layer of financial security.
- Report anything unusual. Let your on-site manager know right away if something seems off.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a storage facility secure? The most secure facilities use several layers of protection: a gated perimeter, personal access codes, 24-hour video surveillance, good lighting, and staff on site. Together, these keep unauthorized people out and deter theft.
How does gated entry work? When you rent, you receive a personal gate code. Enter it at the keypad to open the gate during access hours. The gate closes behind you to keep the property secure.
Can I share my gate code with family or employees? Your code is tied to your account, so please don't share it. If someone else needs access, contact your facility manager about adding them as an authorized user.
Are the security cameras monitored 24 hours a day? Cameras record around the clock, covering key areas of the property. Ask your facility manager about coverage at your location.
What happens if I forget my gate code? Stop by the office during business hours or call your facility. After verifying your identity, the manager can help you regain access.
Do I still need insurance if the facility is secure? Yes. Security reduces risk but can't eliminate it. We recommend a protection plan or renters insurance for your stored belongings.
Are outdoor RV and boat spaces inside the gate? Vehicle and boat parking areas are located within the secured property at facilities that offer them. Check your location's details to confirm.
