In today’s fast-paced world, finding efficient storage solutions has become increasingly vital. But what should you be looking for?

Whether you’re a homeowner seeking additional space or a business owner looking to manage inventory effectively, self-storage has emerged as a convenient and flexible option. The self-storage industry is witnessing rapid growth in Malaysia, driven by the rising demand for secure and accessible storage facilities.

By offering a range of benefits, including security, convenience, and customizable storage options, self-storage has become a trusted solution for individuals and businesses alike.

Here are six important things to consider when you’re looking for a good self-storage solution.

Security

Ensuring the safety of your belongings and personal well-being is of utmost importance when selecting a self-storage provider. Look for facilities that offer 24/7 CCTV monitoring and secure keycard access. At Lock+Store, both local facilities, Lock+Store Sri Hartamas and Lock+Store Glenmarie, provide round-the-clock CCTV monitoring and secure keycard access. Additionally, Lock+Store Sri Hartamas enhances security by locking the main gate after 6:00pm on weekdays and throughout the weekend, while Lock+Store Glenmarie has a dedicated security guard onsite 24/7.

Cleanliness and Adequate Lighting

A clean and well-lit self-storage facility is essential for a pleasant and safe storage experience. Bright lighting ensures visibility, preventing accidents while moving items to and from your storage unit. Lock+Store takes pride in maintaining clean, well-lit facilities, prioritizing the comfort and satisfaction of its customers.

Effective Pest Control Management

Regular pest control measures are crucial to protect stored items from damage and maintain public health standards. Lock+Store diligently carries out routine pest control at its facilities, ensuring a pest-free environment for your belongings.

Wide and Accessible Loading Bay

The convenience of a wide and accessible loading bay cannot be overstated. This allows for hassle-free loading and unloading of bulky furniture and goods, enabling efficient transportation to your storage unit. At Lock+Store Glenmarie, there is a spacious loading bay that can accommodate two lorries simultaneously. Moreover, Lock+Store provides free use of trolleys, ladders, and pallet jacks for your convenience.

Onsite Parking

Considering that most self-storage customers in Malaysia drive, having onsite parking availability is crucial.

Lock+Store Glenmarie, meanwhile, provides ample free onsite parking space, eliminating any parking-related concerns.

Wide Range of Storage Options and Flexible Terms

Different households and businesses have varying storage needs. Look for a self-storage provider that offers a wide range of storage options and flexible terms to accommodate your requirements. Lock+Store Sri Hartamas offers a diverse selection of non-air-conditioned units, ranging from lockers to storage units up to 60 sq ft in size. Lock+Store Glenmarie expands these options with both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned storage units, including lockers and mini warehouses up to 500 sq ft. Storage units have heights of 2.35 to 2.5 m (7.7 to 8.2 ft), while lockers provide 1.11 to 1.25 m (3.6 to 4.1 ft) of height.
