STORAGE TIPS

Get expert tips for organizing, protecting, and maximizing your self storage and climate-controlled units in Elgin & Medicine Park, OK.

Storing your items properly can save time, money, and stress. Here are expert tips to make the most of your self storage and climate-controlled units at 24/7 Safe Storage:

1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Select a unit that fits all your items comfortably. Avoid overcrowding, which can make access difficult and increase the risk of damage. Use our size guide to estimate the space you need.

2. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and furniture covers. Avoid cardboard boxes in climate-sensitive areas—they can absorb moisture and compromise your items.

3. Label Everything Clearly
Label each box with its contents and room designation. This makes it easy to find what you need without unpacking the entire unit.

4. Maximize Vertical Space
Stack boxes and furniture carefully, placing heavier items on the bottom. Use shelves or pallets to keep items off the floor and improve airflow.

5. Keep a Clear Path
Design your unit layout so you can access all items without having to move others. A clear path ensures safe entry, unloading, and exit every time.

6. Climate-Controlled Storage for Sensitive Items
For items like electronics, artwork, or antiques, consider our climate-controlled units to protect against temperature swings and humidity.

7. Store Heavy Items Strategically
Place heavier boxes and furniture toward the back and bottom of your unit. Lighter items should go on top for easy retrieval.

8. Secure Your Belongings
Take advantage of our gated access, security cameras, and secure units. Always lock your unit with a high-quality padlock for added peace of mind.

9. Make Access Easy
Plan the layout so that frequently used items are near the front of your unit. This reduces the time and effort needed for regular access.

10. Keep an Inventory
Maintain a written or digital inventory of everything in your unit. This helps track items, prevents over-packing, and ensures nothing is forgotten.
