Peace of Mind, Secured: The Benefits of Alarmed Storage Units at Fortress Secure Mini Storage

When it comes to self storage, safety and peace of mind are important priorities, and at Fortress Secure Mini Storage, we understand this! That’s why we have implemented advanced security features including alarmed storage units, to give you peace of mind and confidence when storing with us! 

Whether you are storing business documents, contracting tools, dorm room essentials, or household items, keeping them in a secure space can make all of the difference.

What Are Alarmed Storage Units?

Alarmed storage units are equipped with individual security alarms that activate if unauthorized access is detected. While our competitors offer low end security, we take the extra step to provide unit level protection. Each time you unlock or access your unit, the alarm is disarmed with your personal access code. Any attempt to break in without proper authorization will trigger an alert to our on-site team or our professional security monitoring system.


Why Choose Alarmed Units?

Here’s why alarmed storage units are a smart choice for both short-term and long-term storage:

1. Added Protection

Your belongings deserve better than “just a lock.” With alarmed units, you get extra security in case of a break-in attempt, greatly reducing the risk of theft.

2. Deterrent for Criminal Activity

Alarmed units are a strong deterrent. Criminals know they’re more likely to be caught at a modern facility with security features in place, so they often avoid these locations altogether.

3. Immediate Alerts

If something does go wrong, the alarm system notifies managers right away, allowing for faster responses and reducing potential loss.

4. Confidence When You're Away

Whether you're traveling, moving, or managing a business remotely, alarmed storage gives you peace of mind that your items are safe even when you're not nearby.
