Choosing the Best Self-Storage Lock

Storage facilities require that customers purchase and manage their own lock and key. Facilities often offer a selection of locks with different sizes and styles available, but there is only one that is superior to the rest. This lock is the disk lock.

The disk lock is a nearly bulletproof option to protect your most prized possessions. Don’t try to save a few bucks and put a cheap lock on your unit. You have paid good money to secure your belongings and a cheap lock puts your things at risk.

The disk lock has become the gold standard for storage security and your facility most often offers them. Some facilities actually require disk locks in the lease agreement. Also, anonymity is your friend, as your contract probably states “place only one disk lock on your unit,” as two locks would make your unit stand out.

The disk lock is the most secure and easiest way to secure your unit, and the good news is that you get to keep it for future opportunities, whether that is a future storage unit or a need for locking up something around your home. FBN
