Public Storage provides self-storage units that typically have roll-up doors or swing doors. To open a Public Storage door, follow these general steps:
- Access Hours: Make sure you are attempting to open the storage unit door during the facility’s designated access hours. Public Storage facilities usually have specific hours when customers can access their storage units.
- Unlock the Gate: Many Public Storage facilities have a security gate or access code system. Enter the access code provided to you by the facility manager at the gate or keypad to gain access to the property.
- Locate Your Unit: Find the storage unit you’ve rented by referring to the unit number provided in your rental agreement or on your access card.
- Unlock the Door: Depending on the type of door your storage unit has, follow the appropriate method:
- Roll-Up Door: Roll-up doors are common in self-storage units. To open a roll-up door, locate the door handle or pull cord, which is typically near the bottom of the door. Grasp the handle or pull the cord and lift the door upward until it is fully open.
- Swing Door: Some storage units have swing doors, similar to a regular door on a hinge. To open a swing door, simply turn the doorknob or handle and push or pull the door in the direction that allows it to open fully.
- Enter the Unit: Once the door is open, you can enter your storage unit and access your belongings.
- Secure the Door: When you’re finished accessing your storage unit, make sure to close and secure the door properly. For roll-up doors, lower the door and engage the locking mechanism if there is one. For swing doors, close the door and turn the knob or handle to secure it.
- Exit the Property: After securing your storage unit, exit the property by driving or walking out through the security gate. Be sure to properly close the gate behind you if required.
