Final Thoughts: What to Look for in a Secure Storage Facility

Looking for a secure and hassle-free place to store your belongings? When relocating, decluttering, or seeking additional space for business inventory, selecting the appropriate self-storage facility involves more than just considering size and price; security in self-storage is paramount. At SpaceHub, we exceed standard locks and gates by implementing cutting-edge security systems, round-the-clock surveillance, and smart access control to protect your belongings.

This guide will outline the essential security features that distinguish SpaceHub, explain how contemporary self-storage security measures function, and highlight what’s important to know when choosing a storage facility.

Understanding Self-Storage Security

What is Self-Storage Security? Self-storage security refers to the measures to protect belongings stored in self-storage units. These measures include physical barriers like gates and CCTV, advanced security technologies such as access control systems and individual unit alarms, and regular maintenance and upgrades.

A well-secured self-storage facility provides peace of mind. It ensures that only authorized individuals can access the units and monitors all activities around the clock.

Key Security Systems at SpaceHub

Advanced Access Control System

Mobile App. Controlling who enters a facility is essential. SpaceHub uses a state-of-the-art access control system, ensuring only authorized individuals can enter.

Mobile App Access – Unlock your unit via a secure mobile app

If an unauthorized person tries to open a unit or enters an incorrect PIN multiple times, an immediate alert is sent to the security team.

Access log. This feature compiles all essential entry data into one convenient place, allowing you to monitor activity related to your storage unit efficiently. Whether you’ve granted access to family members, colleagues, or other trusted individuals, you can see exactly who entered the unit and when.

All essential information in one place—get complete control over your shared access

Keypad Entry. At some warehouses, we offer a keypad entry system. Each customer is assigned a unique PIN code, which is strictly confidential and known only to them. Customers can change their PIN at any time for added peace of mind, if necessary. This system helps prevent unauthorized access, giving customers complete control over the security of their personal belongings.

Unlike traditional locks, our system stores PIN codes on a local security server, which is protected on-site. There’s no internet exposure, reducing hacking risks. If you enter the wrong PIN too many times, the system locks access to ensure maximum protection.

24/7 Video Surveillance and Analytics

We rely on high-definition CCTV cameras to monitor the entire facility. Our system includes:

Perimeter Surveillance – Cameras are placed strategically to cover all entry and exit points.
Unit Monitoring – storage areas are under constant watch.

Perimeter Security: armored gate and CCTV

A robust perimeter security system includes a strong front gate and CCTV coverage. The gate acts as a physical barrier, while strategically placed cameras constantly monitor the facility’s boundaries. Together, they create a formidable defense against external threats.

Armored Gate

Individual Unit Alarms

At SpaceHub, every storage unit has a dedicated fire alarm and an advanced climate-control system. This individualized protection helps prevent fire-related incidents and maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels, safeguarding sensitive items from damage. SpaceHub ensures that each customer’s belongings are stored in the safest possible conditions by providing security and environmental control at the unit level.

Advanced Alarm System

Rapid Response Team for Emergencies

Although SpaceHub operates as a fully automated storage facility, we prioritize safety by maintaining a dedicated rapid-response security team on standby 24/7. In a security breach, fire alarm, or any other emergency, trained professionals are immediately deployed to assess and manage the situation. Their swift intervention ensures that any potential threats are quickly neutralized, providing customers with peace of mind and an added layer of protection.

Cybersecurity Measures

Many modern self-storage facilities offer online account management, allowing customers to make payments, check access logs, and even unlock their units remotely. However, this convenience comes with security risks.

At SpaceHub, we take cybersecurity seriously:

SSL Encryption – Protects data transmission between your browser and our system.
Encrypted Password Storage – Even our staff cannot access customer passwords.
Secure Bluetooth Locks – Your smartphone and the lock communicate via an encrypted connection, preventing hackers from intercepting data.

With these measures, secure self-storage is not just about physical protection, but also digital safety.

We don’t just install security systems and forget about them. SpaceHub conducts regular security audits to identify weaknesses and improve protection. Previously, we relied on third-party security providers, but now, we’ve built our advanced security infrastructure to ensure complete control.

Routine Maintenance & Upgrades

Security technology evolves rapidly, and so do we. Our systems receive regular updates, ensuring we use the best security technology. From upgrading surveillance cameras to enhancing access control, we constantly improve our security solutions.
