Below are the answers to many of the most commonly asked questions heard from our customers. If your questions are not answered here, please contact your facility and speak to one of our self storage professionals.
Self storage is an affordable, efficient way for you to store your possessions in a clean and secure environment. Self storage makes it easy to store items of all shapes and sizes in one convenient location.
To ensure you are the only one with access to your items, customers are required to supply their own locks. We sell locks and a variety of packing supplies in store.
We offer month to month occupancy agreements, meaning no contracts and no commitments.
Temperature controlled storage units are temperature controlled ensuring your items are not exposed to extreme temperatures. Temperature controlled facilities are housed in an indoor building where dirt and dust are less likely to penetrate. This is ideal for storing furniture, photographs, CD’s/records, electronics, as well as other items that may be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations.
Access hours are 7:00am – 8:00pm 365 days a year.
Our facilities carry a full line of packing and moving supplies including a variety of boxes, locks and tape.
