Some Useful Tips for Renting a Storage Facility in Toronto
When renting a space from one of storage companies in Toronto, you should understand that when choosing Toronto storage facility – there is a lot more than just picking a convenient location and finding the lowest price. And not only should you research different Toronto storage facilities /companies, but you need to also consider your specific storage needs when choosing the size/type of locker you will be renting (and if you need a locker at all) as well as other services offered by the storage facility in Toronto.
Security and safety should be your primary concern, as nothing will cause you more stress or headache than getting your items stolen or damaged. When it comes to security, simply placing a lock on your storage locker is not a guarantee that the contents will be safe.
Using a good quality padlock is a prudent choice, but the chance of having your locker broken into will really depend on the overall security precautions taken by your Toronto storage company. In addition to an adequate security system with a combination of security cameras and alarms, the surveillance cameras should be recording all input into a DVR that is indexed by time/date, and that allows video to be played back at least 2-3 months into the past.
The other concern most clients get is climate / temperature control, as there are some items which must be stored within a specific temperature range in order to avoid damage. A large number of storage companies in Toronto are in fact not climate controlled, and the ones advertising “climate controlled” Toronto storage facility often make a claim that is slightly misleading.
The final consideration is whether you will be hiring a Toronto moving company to transfer your items into Toronto storage facility or if you will be handling this task on your own. If you’ve decided to work with professional Toronto movers, remember that you will be paying them by the hour for their services. Also, when comparing the price of a locker in one Toronto storage facility to another, consider the ease of access to the locker in each location.
