The self-storage units and the contents within are protected by gates and security fences, which are two of the most crucial components of a storage facility. Many security gates have an electronic passcode that requires self-storage facility management and unit tenants to present unique codes in order to get access to the facility (and get past the gate). Protective fences also improve the curb attractiveness of self-storage facilities.
Gates are the best defense against crime and unwanted visitors. Gates will also help increase the value of your property. Most self-storage has gates with access control.
Therefore, a type of gate must be carefully planned and laid out.
Here are takeaways on planning your gate structure:
1) It must be easy but professionally maintained
2) Protected by security alarms
3) Secured by cameras
4) Well-lit
