As more homeowners, students, and businesses turn to self-storage in Ireland, one of the biggest questions asked is: How secure are self-storage units? As demand for flexible space solutions continues to increase, secure self-storage has never been more important.

At StorageWise, security is built into every layer of the facility. Based in Docklands Business Park in Limerick, StorageWise has developed one of the most secure self-storage environments in the region. Here’s a closer look at the security features that set them apart. 

Perimeter Security 

Your belongings are protected before you even enter the storage facility. At StorageWise, perimeter security features include:

• Remote monitoring of the park by 24/7 by CCTV cameras.
• There is only one entry and exit point.
• After office hours, the entrance is manned.
• No access is permitted without an electronic fob through the secure gate.
• The entire park is enclosed with security fencing.

24/7 CCTV Cameras

The building is fitted with CCTV cameras both internally and externally. These cameras are remotely monitored around the clock, providing constant oversight of the premises. In addition, heat and motion-sensitive CCTV systems improve detection capability so that any unusual activity is flagged immediately.

Individually Alarmed Units

Every storage unit is individually alarmed and protected by its own unique PIN code. This means your unit is secured by a general building alarm PLUS its own dedicated protection. If an alarm is triggered, an instant call-out is made to ensure the fastest possible response time. This immediate action provides an additional layer of reassurance for customers storing valuable or sentimental belongings.

Controlled Access Only

Electric sliding doors prevent access without a unique security code. No one can enter the storage areas unless properly authorised. In fact, nobody has access to your unit unless you approve it, and this includes members of the StorageWise team. Each unit is secured with its own padlock, and you’re always the sole keyholder, unless you specifically request that StorageWise hold a key on your behalf.

Security on a Personal Level

While technology plays a major role, personal verification is equally important. StorageWise uses a stringent identity verification process to ensure there is no unauthorised access and that everyone entering the facility is properly recorded.

At StorageWise:

• Each new customer has their photo taken upon registration.
• Customers must provide proof of identity and address (Driving Licence or Passport).
• Professional staff are on-site during opening hours to monitor activity.
