Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of unit should I get?
The right storage unit size depends on what you plan to store and how much space you need to move around your items.
5x5 or 5x10 units are great for smaller loads, such as chairs, lamps, small furniture pieces, boxes, books, and documents.
10x10 or 10x15 units work well for larger furniture, bicycles, appliances, and the contents of a small apartment.
10x20 or 10x30 units can typically fit the contents of a three-bedroom home, including large furniture and multiple appliances.
If you’re unsure which size is best, a unit size calculator can help estimate the right fit based on the items you’re planning to store – helping you avoid paying for more space than you need.
How do you open a storage unit door?
To open your storage unit door, start by unlocking it, whether it uses a traditional padlock or a Bluetooth-enabled smart lock. Once unlocked, grab the bottom handle and lift or pull up the roll-up door until it’s fully open.
If you’re using the unit for the first time, make sure the lock is properly removed before opening the door to avoid damage.
