3 Benefits of 24-hr Gate Access Self-Storage

If you're searching for the best self-storage in Ypsilanti or Belleville, you might want to consider gate access. What is gate access? As one would expect, self-storage facilities usually have an electric gate that customers can access via a personal code, key, etc. Security is the primary motivation for the gate; we doubt you'd want to store your favorite boat or RV in a lot with no gated fence. But sometimes, security comes at the expense of convenience. For instance, many storage facilities will keep their gates locked after hours, which means you'll have to wait until they open the following day. Well, that's no good. Don't worry; here at U-Lock-It Self Storage Belleville, we offer 24-hr gate access. Let's look at three benefits of 24-hr gates access with your self-storage.

24-hr Gate access makes vacations easier

Imagine it's the final day of your RV road trip exploring the Leelanau Peninsula. Though you were able to eat your way through Traverse City, admire local art in Glen Arbor, and burn some calories on the dunes at Sleeping Bear, it's now the final day, and you're running out of time. Since you don't have a place to park your RV at home, you have no choice but to make it back to your storage facility before it closes and the gate locks for the night. You factor in driving time, traffic, etc., and, sadly, have to remove a visit to Fishtown from your final day's schedule.

When you rent from a Ypsilanti self-storage facility with 24-hr gate access, you won't have to shorten a weekend trip. Whether you get in early or after midnight, you'll have access to your secure and convenient unit. That means less time watching the clock and more time enjoying the final day of a vacation.

24-hr Gate Access is Great for Entrepreneurs

Here at U-Lock-It Self Storage Belleville, we are proud to host many entrepreneurs and small businesses. And while you can't operate your business out of a storage unit, you may utilize the affordable storage to keep inventory, transportation, etc. For instance, many smaller landscaping companies will store their lawnmowers, hedgers, etc., in a secure unit and access them when needed—as you can see, having 24-hr access to items that are critical for your business.

24-hr access makes moving less stressful

A popular reason someone might rent self-storage is that they are in the process of moving. Why? Because having an affordable and secure place to keep any items that don't fit in your new location is much easier than getting rid of belongings. And as you may know, moving is extremely stressful, and, similar to an action movie, a ticking clock only increases the suspense. For example, if you're ending a lease, many landlords will give you a specific date and time that you need to be out. With 24-hr gate access, you can take your time to pack thoughtfully and not have to worry about getting items to your storage unit before it closes.

No matter your situation, it's never a bad thing to access your items whenever you need them. 24-hr self-storage gate access is one of the many benefits of choosing U-Lock-It Self Storage for your Belleville storage needs. Please call us today for availability.
