Are Self Storage Units Safe?

If you’ve never used self storage before, it’s natural to wonder how secure your belongings will be. After all, you’re trusting a third party with items that may be valuable, sentimental, or business-critical. At STAR selfstore, we understand the importance of that trust, and we work hard to earn it.

Security You Can See

From the moment you arrive on site, you’ll notice the emphasis we place on safety. Our self-storage facilities are protected by 24/7 CCTV surveillance, with cameras positioned to monitor key areas. This isn’t just for show; our systems are actively monitored and maintained to ensure full coverage and crystal-clear footage.

We also use advanced alarm systems that respond to unauthorised access attempts, giving you an extra layer of protection. Each customer is issued a personal access code, which allows secure entry to the site. No shared keys, no generic codes, just private, traceable access. This state-of-the-art security is also supported by regular, physical security patrols. 

Designed for Peace of Mind

Security isn’t just about technology, it’s about how a site is designed and managed. Our locations are laid out to minimise blind spots and maximise visibility. Units are arranged with clear sightlines, and all communal areas are well-lit, day and night.

This is especially important for customers who use our 24/7 access. Whether you’re dropping off stock before sunrise or collecting items after work, you’ll find our sites easy to navigate and reassuringly bright. Lighting is motion-activated in many areas, helping conserve energy while ensuring visibility when you need it most.

Personal Safety Matters Too

We know that visiting a storage site alone, especially outside of standard hours, can feel daunting. That’s why we’ve taken steps to make our facilities feel safe and welcoming at all times. From illuminated car parks to clearly marked exits, we’ve considered every detail.

Our team also conducts regular site checks to ensure everything is in working order. If you ever have concerns, we’re just a phone call away, and at staffed locations, our team is happy to assist during office hours.

What You Store Is Yours Alone

Privacy is a key part of security. With STAR selfstore, your unit is yours alone. No one else can access it, and our systems are designed to protect your personal space. Whether you’re storing business equipment and stock, family heirlooms, or seasonal gear, you can rest easy knowing it’s secure.

We call it Peace of Mind and it’s built into everything we do. From surveillance to site design, we’ve created an environment where safety isn’t just a feature, it’s a promise.
