Are Self Storage Units Safe?

Are Self Storage Units Safe

Whether you're downsizing, decluttering, or storing business stock, one question often comes up: “Is it safe?” At STAR selfstore, we believe that peace of mind isn’t optional, it’s essential. That’s why we’ve built our facilities around robust security and thoughtful design, so you can store with confidence.

Security That Works Hard

Our self-storage sites are protected by 24/7 CCTV surveillance, with cameras placed strategically throughout the facility. These aren’t just passive systems; they’re actively monitored and maintained to ensure full coverage and reliability, and backed up by a regular, physical security patrol. 

We also use state-of-the-art alarm systems that respond to unauthorised access attempts. Each customer receives a personal access code, giving them secure entry to the facility. This means no shared keys, no generic codes, and no chance of someone else accessing your space.

Safety You Can Feel

Security isn’t just about locks and cameras; it’s about how safe you feel when you visit. That’s why we’ve invested in bright, energy-efficient lighting across all our sites. From car parks to corridors, visibility is key. Whether you’re visiting during daylight hours or late at night, you’ll find our facilities well-lit and easy to navigate.

This is especially important with 24/7 access. We want you to feel confident popping in whenever it suits your schedule, whether that’s after work, early in the morning, or over the weekend. Good lighting and clear signage help create a welcoming, secure environment at all hours.

Designed With You in Mind

We’ve thought carefully about how our sites are laid out. Units are arranged to minimise blind spots, and communal areas are kept clean, bright, and accessible. Regular maintenance checks ensure everything is in working order, and our team is always on hand during office hours to answer questions or offer support.

If you’re new to self storage, we’ll walk you through the process and explain how our security systems work. We want you to feel informed and in control because your belongings deserve nothing less.

Privacy and Protection

Your unit is yours alone. No one else can access it, and our systems are designed to protect your privacy as well as your possessions. Whether you’re storing personal items, business stock, or seasonal gear, you can rest easy knowing it’s safe and secure.

At STAR selfstore, we call it Peace of Mind, and it’s built into everything we do. From surveillance to site design, we’ve created a space where safety isn’t just a feature, it’s a promise.
