It's hard to remember everything. And forgetting something crucial can turn even the best of days into an experience that would rather be forgotten. That's why we have a special Storage Tips page to help you with your self storage unit.
Renting:
Before you store:
-
Use a good quality lock on your door.
Cheap locks rust and do not provide good security. (Note! ACE Mini Storage provides you with a complementary lock when you rent a unit.)
-
Obtain and maintain sufficient
insurance. Ace Mini Storage does not
insure your property.
-
Plan your storage space. Place those items that you may need to access
often in the front. Allow for walkways.
-
Prepare your space by placing a
protective cover on the floor under your goods.
Keeping everything in good condition
-
Place your storage items on 2 x 4 boards or on pallets to guard against
dampness and to permit air to circulate along the floor.
-
Use uniform size boxes for easy
stacking. Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25 lbs. to 30 lbs.
-
List contents of boxes on all
four sides; number the boxes, seal them with tape.
-
Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
What not to do:
-
Do not store anything COMBUSTIBLE (i.e., paint thinner,
gasoline, solvents, paint, explosives,
flammable liquids, or toxic materials). Never
store food or liquids. Drain fuel from
gasoline engines before storage.
