Security Measures

At Extra Space Storage, we prioritize the safety and protection of your stored belongings. That’s why we have implemented comprehensive security measures at our facilities.

Fenced Perimeter

To establish a secure environment, nearly all of our self storage locations have a fenced perimeter. This acts as a physical barrier, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that only customers with valid security codes can enter the facility.

Electronic Gate Access

At Extra Space Storage, we utilize electronic gate access to provide increased security. Each customer is assigned a unique code that grants them access to the facility. This restricted access prevents unauthorized individuals from entering the premises and adds an extra layer of protection for your stored items.

Video Surveillance

Our commitment to security includes the use of video surveillance systems at our facilities. These cameras capture and record activity throughout the facility, enhancing the safety and monitoring capabilities of our storage locations.

Individually-Alarmed Storage Units

For an additional level of security, certain Extra Space Storage locations offer individually-alarmed storage units.

For added protection and peace of mind, Extra Space Storage offers storage insurance through a national insurance provider. This insurance can safeguard you against losses due to natural disasters or unforeseen events. Our affordable insurance plans have no deductible, ensuring that you have coverage in the event of any loss or damage to your stored items. Additionally, there are options available for flood insurance to provide comprehensive coverage based on your specific needs.

Coverage for Stored Items

It’s important to note that your current homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy may also provide coverage for your stored items.
