Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How long can you go without paying for storage?

Your storage unit will go into default The grace period specifies how many days you may go without paying the storage fee before things get out of hand. Typically, the grace period is 30 days.

What if I lost the key to my storage unit lock?

Yes, you provide your lock. The best lock for our storage units is typically a disc lock, and we have them available at our locations if you forget or would prefer to purchase yours through us.

What storage unit locks cannot be cut?

The next step is to hire a licensed locksmith for key removal. Our associate can recommend a professional locksmith to cut the lock. People who arent licensed are not supposed to remove locks. You may contact your local A-1 Self Storage, and one of our experts will be happy to assist.

Can a disk lock be cut?

Ive always used a grinder with a grinding blade for metal. We just buy a pack of 100 blades off Amazon and replace after cutting 1-2 locks. I can cut a disc lock off in less than a minute if its facing the right way.

What happens if you cut a storage lock?

Legally, most self-storage facilities dont allow customers to cut locks themselves, as the lock and door mechanisms are considered part of the facilitys property. Unauthorised cutting may be viewed as tampering or property damage, which could result in additional fees, lease violations, or even liability for repairs.

What happens if I cut the lock off my storage unit?

Disc locks are the industry standard and they were made specifically for self-storage units. Disc locks cannot be removed with bolt cutters because the hasp (or the U-shaped part of a padlock) cannot be docHubed.
