Documents

Using a self storage can be an important asset in securing and saving personal information, provided that certain measures are taken. When planning to archive business or personal documents in a self-storage unit, be sure to consider the following guidelines from Extra Storage:

Guide #1: Be sure that the security features offered at the self-storage facility are exceptional:
• Although not usually considered a security feature, climate control is essential for protecting documents against extreme temperatures and humidity. Check to see if climate control or air conditioning is available at your facility
• Facility manager lives on site or is on duty at the facility during hours you will be visiting your unit
• Convenient operating hours when you or your employees can access the information
• Keypad entry systems, security cameras, perimeter fencing and lighting should be in good condition

Guide #2: Store documents with security and safety in mind
• Fill boxes, even if just with packing material – loosely packed materials can shift during transport and lifting
• Packed boxes should weigh no more than 30-50 lbs. for safe lifting
• Create multiple backups of all stored documents and keep them in a separate location
• Consider using locked containers such as file cabinets or fire safes
• Store all documentation on password-protected CD or DVD

Guide #3: Protect paper, videos, DVDs and CDs with suitable packaging
• When packing data files, place binders in between groupings to lend sturdiness
• Label boxes clearly and carefully with waterproof labels / markers
• Use airtight packaging to prevent mildew or water damage
• Consider anti-static packaging for videotapes, DVDs and CDs
• Do not use newspaper, as the print can transfer
• Raise boxes off the ground with pallets, wood, plastic or cardboard
• Stack boxes with oldest information at the bottom in the back
• Pack for longer than you plan to store – just in case
Extra Storage has an excellent resource for additional tips and assistance in protecting your important documents.
