Whether you\u2019re switching to find a better facility, wanting storage nearer to your Utah home, or moving out of state, there\u2019s always the right choice and the less than ideal one. In the state of Utah, there are a million and one self-storage unit facilities to choose from. So, unless you\u2019re moving <em>out<\/em> of state, the question on your mind isn\u2019t usually \u201cwhere can I find a storage unit\u201d, but more so \u201cwhat features should I be looking for in a new self-storage unit\u201d. Storage facilities can range from utterly disastrous to as safe as keeping the items in your own home. Of course, at each of Apex\u2019s locations, we strive to achieve the latter. Whether you\u2019re currently storing with us now, or you\u2019re simply keeping Apex in mind, here are a few key things you should keep in mind when you\u2019re looking to move to a new storage unit or changing a unit to be nearer to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Accessibility in Mind<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Safety and cleanliness are both important factors that will come into play when looking into a self-storage unit, but one thing to keep in mind is the matter of accessibility. It\u2019s an incredibly important component to the facility you choose or move your items to, but it\u2019s often one that is kept at the bottom of the checklist. Don\u2019t just go with a company who\u2019s name sounds familiar to you even if it\u2019s far away from where you live. Instead, select a facility that allows for easy access. Take into account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Can you access the new unit on the weekends and nights?<\/li><li>Will you <em>need <\/em>to access this location frequently or just occasionally each season?<\/li><li>Will this location be safe to access in harsher climates like Utah\u2019s snowy season?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, this list will vary in importance for each individual. But think about it! Talk to each facility about their hours and if access is allowed outside of typical hours. Keep distance and visits in mind. For instance, it wouldn\u2019t make sense to settle for storage in Salt Lake City if you\u2019re located further away in a location like Lehi or <a href=\"https:\/\/apexstorageutah.com\/locations\/magna-utah-location\/\">Magna<\/a>. Thankfully, Apex locations are spread out, so no matter where you live you have access to high-quality self-storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Sure the Facility is Clean<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A less than clean facility is a sure sign that the facility isn\u2019t up to standard in other ways. Don\u2019t settle for an unclean unit or facility. Always check and see if the storage facility in question has routine maintenance and regular cleaning when a unit has been emptied. There\u2019s no point in moving to a new unit if it\u2019s less than ideal for precious possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How\u2019s the Security?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve acquired a lot of clients simply because their previous storage facility <em>said<\/em> they had certain security measures in place and didn\u2019t. There\u2019s nothing worse than a facility that doesn\u2019t make security a top priority. Choose a facility that goes <a href=\"https:\/\/apexstorageutah.com\/storage-features\/security\/\">above and beyond<\/a> to keep your belongings safe when you\u2019re not around and your person safe when you are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it Convenient to Use?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what facility you move to, choose one that makes everyday access as easy and secure as possible. Does the facility feature extra-large units for RV, vehicle, and boat storage? Are driveways wide enough to make unloading and loading simple? Is the location close to freeway access? Make a list of features that are most important to you so that your self-storage move is worthwhile for years to come!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changing storage units isn\u2019t always a simple task.
