Are Self Storage Units Safe?

If you’ve never used self storage before, you might have a few concerns. Is it secure? Will my items be protected? Can I visit safely at night? At STAR selfstore, we hear these questions all the time and we’re proud to say the answer is a confident yes! 

We’re here to bust all those myths about self storage and security. 

Myth: “It’s Just a Big Shed”

Let’s bust that one straight away. Modern self storage is nothing like the dusty lock-ups of the past. Our facilities are purpose-built with security in mind, offering 24/7 monitored CCTV surveillance, advanced alarm systems, personal access codes for every customer, and support from regular, physical security patrols.

These aren’t optional extras, they’re standard across our facilities. We believe your belongings deserve the same level of protection you’d expect at home or work.

Myth: “Anyone Could Wander In”

Not at STAR selfstore. Our sites are gated and access-controlled, meaning only authorised customers and staff can enter. Each customer receives a unique access code, which is used to enter the site. It’s private, secure, and traceable with no shared keys and no open doors.

Myth: “It’s Not Safe to Visit Alone”

We understand that personal safety matters just as much as protecting your belongings. That’s why our sites are well-lit, with effective lighting in corridors, car parks, and entrance areas. Whether you’re visiting during the day or late at night, you’ll find our facilities bright, clean, and easy to navigate.

With 24/7 access available at many locations, we’ve made sure that safety is never compromised. Clear signage, visible cameras, and thoughtful site design all contribute to a reassuring experience. 

Fact: Peace of Mind Comes Standard

We’ve built our reputation on trust. Whether you’re storing furniture, documents, or business stock, you can rely on STAR selfstore to keep it safe. Our team is always happy to answer questions, and we’re committed to maintaining high standards across every branch.

Whether you're using self-storage for business, when moving home, or for family heirlooms, our self-storage facilities are ideal. 

So if you’re wondering whether self storage units are safe, they are, when you choose a provider that puts your security first.

At STAR selfstore, we don’t just offer space. We offer peace of mind.
