Dos and Don’ts of Self Storage
DO
- Keep an inventory. Make a list of everything inside your locker. This will help with any insurance claims and helping to find things if you can’t remember where you stored them.
- Label. Slap a sticker on each and every box you put inside. This will help you retrieve items easily.
- Organize. Move things you use most to the front, and seasonal or long term storage items to the back.
- Leave doors open on appliances. This will help to prevent mould growth.
- Take big items apart. This will save space, take legs off tables and dismantle bed frames.
- Do purchase insurance. Should something go wrong, and your items become lost, insurance should cover most of your claim.
Don’t
- Give your access to code to others. Unless you really trust them, your access code is yours and we are not responsible for the loss of your items.
- Store hazardous material. Doing so is cause for eviction and may damage the other goods in your locker.
- Stack boxes high. Doing so can result in injury and damage to your goods.
- Wrap items in newspaper. The ink tends to run off and mark items.
- Modify your unit. Keep the unit the same as when you received it. Modifications are not allowed under any circumstance.
