Of course when you store your belongings you want the storage unit and the area to be safe and secure because they are your valuables. Centron Self Storage facilities feature computer controlled access, private security patrols, daily security checks, surveillance cameras and climate controlled units at the Toronto Chesswood Drive self storage location.

Self storage units range in size from 5X5 units suitable for small items or a few boxes to 10'X20' Units suitable for an average two or three bedroom home's storage needs. There are a few tips that can help the homeowner to make the best use of their storage space and make packing a storage unit (as well as unpacking it) much easier.

Computer, electronics and fine furnishing may be best stored in a climate controlled unit. Dust, heat and cold can damage these valuables and the extra cost of a climate controlled unit at Centron self storage, is well worth it for expensive and delicate items.

Packing is important when making the most of a self storage unit because eventually everything placed in storage will need to come out and to save back strain as well as potential damage it is important to pack carefully. Lighter more fragile items should be well padded with newspaper, Styrofoam or packing material. These boxes should be placed on top of heavier sturdier furniture such as freezers or dressers. When putting belongings into a storage unit the usual method is to place heavy less frequently necessary items to the back of the unit. The front of the unit should be reserved for boxes that you may need during the storage period. This keeps the owner from having to unpack the entire storage unit in order to get to a single box of sweaters or summer wear.

While everyone wants to get the most use from their storage unit it is important to leave several inches on all sides between your belongings and the walls of the unit. This will allow air to circulate throughout the unit.

Sometimes it is better to choose a unit slightly larger than what you believe you need in order to allow for adequate ventilation as well as to be able to move through the unit to the back in search of items. When selecting a storage facility take a look around at the neighborhood as well as the gates. The area should be secure. Access should be limited to only those with storage units.
