Once again summer is upon us, and you’ve decided to put some of those personal items away for the season. However, before you can begin your move, you’ll need to make sure you have the right equipment to do the job. Thinking about this early on isn’t only going to save you time and money, but it will help ease some of the stresses associated with moving. Additionally, it can prevent you from injuring yourself during the move.
Figuring out the logistics of moving doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Some main points to consider for the actual moving day are the size, weight, and quantity of boxes you’ll have, in addition to the distance you’re traveling with them.
Depending on what it is you’re moving, you might need a few things to help you get it from inside your house, through your doorframe and onto your truck. By making sure you have items such as screwdrivers or Allen-wrenches, you will make disassembling and transporting items a lot easier. Just remember to keep track of any bolts, screws or washers you take off, we recommend taping them to the furniture itself. And, make sure you remember how to put them back together again. If you don’t have the instructions anymore, taking pictures of the assembly can be a simple solution. Some other things to think about are items like moving dollies and cargo straps. Whether you’re moving your stuff by yourself of with your buddies, having the right equipment will make the entire process go smoothly and reduce unneeded strain on the body and your personal items.

You may have wondered why Ample Storage is not one of the 24 hour storage units in Reno, NV. It is a common trend for many places to offer this service and the convenience sounds desirable. They rely on their gates, security cameras and lighting to deter thieves. However, our experience has shown that this simply is not enough to provide a high level of security. There are significant storage unit risks when 24 hour access is available in Reno. We want your belongings to be safe, first and foremost.
If you have the best fencing and gates on the market, these security features are immediately rendered useless once the person has gained access. Now you only have security cameras and lighting for defense at this point. Considering that theft is much more likely to occur at night than during the day, this is problematic. Our cameras are always running but at this point the person has already gained access to the facility. Meanwhile they are cleaning out all the valuables from your unit.
There are also instances of people who have been approved to access the unit coming in and stealing. These thieves choose night to come in because they have a better chance of pulling it off without suspicion from staff and it is also less likely that you will happen to be swinging by to spoil their plans.
Considering that these plans are far less likely to be successful during the day, we have made the decision to close our facility down at night to provide the most optimal security. This does not mean that we are inaccessible. Our facility is open late and we feel that our hours cover all the areas of high and medium traffic. We want you to have access to your Reno storage unit, but we also want them to be safe. As the best self storage in Reno, we believe we've reached that balance.
When you place your belongings in self storage in Reno, the last thing you want to be worrying about is whether or not they will be there when you return for them. When you choose Ample Storage to be your option for secure Reno storage, this concern is virtually eliminated. We work to ensure that your belongings are in the safest place possible. Here are a few features we have to ensure that our promise to keep your belongings safe is kept.
Every inch of our property is drenched with light, 24/7. It is much more difficult to steal when you are completely visible.
Our security gate can only be opened with a code. Day or night, nobody gets in without a code.
Believe it or not, theft is common from people who have purchased a unit just to get a code. They prey upon 24-hour facilities, coming in once traffic has died down. However, at Ample Storage, this is not an option.
All of these features would mean little if there wasn’t someone there to ensure they are working properly. We never leave your belongings unattended. Our manager lives on-site and is constantly guarding your valuables.
To go above and beyond the self storage services we are providing, we also recommend that you buy a good sturdy lock. When combined with all of our other security features, your belongings are likely more secure with us in your Reno storage unit than in most homes. We take pride in keeping your belongings safe and we understand that it is one of the reasons why we are still your best choice for secure Reno storage.
