What are the Self Storage Unit Security Features in California?

When you are looking for self-storage in California, it is important to understand that security standards are built on both facility-specific features and state legal requirements. At our facility, we believe Amazing Space Happens when your belongings are protected by multiple layers of security.

We provide three essential preventive measures to safeguard your items:

• Fenced-in Perimeter: Our property is fully fenced to create the first line of defense and deter unauthorized entry.
• Computerized Gated Access: We use a specialized system where only tenants with a unique access code can enter the property during operating hours. This ensures all visits are recorded and traceable.
• Individually Alarmed Units: Every single unit at our facility is equipped with its own alarm. If a door is tampered with or opened without authorization, our management is alerted immediately.

Beyond these onsite features, California Penal Code §26806 mandates that licensed self-storage operators maintain digital video surveillance with audio recording, store footage for one year, and display signage at entrances notifying the public of this surveillance.

Locally Owned and Operated Since 1985, we have dedicated decades to maintaining a safe environment for the Simi Valley community. We offer the most competitive prices in Simi Valley and even back our rates with a competitive price guarantee for one full year after your move-in.
