When choosing a self-storage facility, security is a top priority. Here are the features that truly make a difference:

Ask whether cameras are present, what they cover and whether they record or are monitored. Camera coverage is not a guarantee against theft.

Ask about gates and access controls, their operating hours and rules for authorized users.

Confirm when staff are on site and whom to contact about an incident outside office hours.

Individual alarms on storage units offer personalized protection. If someone tries to access your unit without permission, the alarm will sound, drawing attention and deterring further attempts.

Inspect lighting and loading areas and discuss any access concerns with the location.

Review coverage requirements, limits and exclusions with the provider. Do not assume the facility insures everything you store.

Atlas Self Storage has locations in Penn Hills and North Hills. Contact your preferred location to confirm current unit options, dimensions, access hours, features, rental terms and availability.
