Use the best lock possible to protect your valuables. At Access Storage, you will get a FREE disc lock for your unit!

Keep an inventory of the items you store.

Put plastic or pallets on the floor of your unit to keep your items clean and to protect them in case something leaks.

Put all of the items you can in boxes of uniform sizes when possible. This makes for better organization and a neater space.

Pack heavy items into smaller boxes.

Label the contents of your containers.

Place the most valuable items the in the back of the unit, as well as the items you’ll be less likely to need first.

Leave aisles or walk spaces between rows of stacked boxes for easy access.

Wrap framed art and mirrors in bubble wrap and stand them on end on a pallet.

If possible, use the original boxes to store electronic equipment.

Wedge open the doors of appliances to prevent mildew. You can store lighter items such as linens inside.

Humidity can cause furniture to warp and appliances to mildew. Leave a space between your items and the unit wall to allow for air circulation. To guard against condensation damage use fabric rather than plastic to cover large items. If your unit is not climate-controlled, don’t store items that can be damaged by melting or freezing. Avoid storing food items.

Buy tenant insurance. It is worth the small price for added peace of mind.
