Storage units are not meant to be an additional thing which you have to manouvre around. But to millions of people that is just what they are now. Life is not a 9 to 5 time schedule and neither is the time when you really require your stuff. A late-night move. Friday evening when you all of a sudden have to have something that you packed up several months ago. A contractor that must load equipment prior to sunrise on a Saturday. All these scenarios do not require permission, and none of them is concerned with the time at which the facility manager arrives. It is all that 24-hour access self storage is all about.

Imagine the following, you are running a small business and at 5 AM before one of the markets opens, you have to withdraw inventory out of your unit. You just have to wait with a typical facility. You are already on your way, with a 24-hour facility. Not a trifling convenience that, but the difference between being prepared and being late, between a sale and an apology.

One of the myths is that the less secure the facilities open 24/7 should be. The converse is more likely to be the case. In a facility that is open 24 hours a day, security can not be an afterthought. Those are the best, as they also understand that free time means that one should be more alert.

With that said, not all of the facilities that claim to be open 24 hours a day, actually fulfill the promise. Others have additional charges in the entry after hours. Others silently limit the access of certain units or zones over night. The bottom-line question that you must ask before renting is: Can I get into my unit at 2 AM on a Sunday? The response – and the expediency with which they respond – speaks all.

Units which are controlled by climatics further increase the stakes. All sensitive to heat and humidity are electronics, clothing, documents, and instruments. Having the ability to access sensitive items at your own pace, not to keep up with the schedule of the facility, is not so much about convenience but about securing what you own.

And the cost? Typically not as alarming as one would anticipate. In competitive city markets 24-hour access has become a normal expectation and not a premium add-on. Go shopping and you will very likely discover that the difference in price between constrained and unrestricted facilities is not as large as one might have expected.

Storage ought to be to your advantage- not vice versa. With a restricted access your entire day curves around this. With an open door you do not even think about it.

That’s the point.
