How to Store Valuable Items Safely

When it comes to storing valuable items, security and proper packing are paramount. Whether you’re storing heirlooms, collectibles, or important documents, it’s essential to take steps to protect these items from damage and theft.

First, choose a storage unit with advanced security features. At Turners Self Storage, we offer units with CCTV surveillance, gated access, and individual alarms. These features can provide peace of mind knowing that your valuables are safe.

Next, pack your items carefully. Use high-quality packing materials, such as bubble wrap, packing paper, and sturdy boxes, to protect your items from damage. For particularly valuable or fragile items, consider using custom packaging or professional packing services.

It’s also important to consider insurance for your stored items. Many storage facilities offer insurance options, or you can check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if they cover items in storage.
