When it comes to self storage, most people focus on unit size, location, and price. But there’s one detail that’s often overlooked—and it’s the first line of defense between your belongings and the outside world: your lock.
At Hometown Express Storage, we don’t leave security to chance. That’s why every unit is equipped with a disc lock, the industry’s most trusted option for safety and durability.
A lock isn’t just a formality—it’s a critical part of your unit’s security. Cheap padlocks and combination locks may look sturdy, but they’re often vulnerable to bolt cutters, tampering, and even weather damage.
Disc locks, on the other hand, are specifically designed for self storage. Their round shape and minimal exposed shackle make them extremely difficult to cut or pry open.
Tamper-Resistant Design: The short shackle is nearly impossible to access with bolt cutters.
Heavy-Duty Materials: Most disc locks are made from stainless steel, offering superior resistance to rust and corrosion.
Keyed Security: Unlike combination locks, disc locks use high-security keys that are harder to duplicate.
Weatherproof: Built to withstand rain, snow, and extreme temperatures without weakening.
We don’t just recommend disc locks—we standardize them. Every unit at Hometown Express Storage comes equipped with a disc lock because we believe your peace of mind is non-negotiable.
Our facilities are designed with customer safety in mind, from well-lit driveways to 24/7 surveillance. But it’s the small details—like the lock on your unit—that truly set us apart.
Always double-check that your lock is fully engaged after closing your unit.
Keep your key in a secure place, and consider a backup copy stored separately.
Inspect your lock periodically for signs of wear or damage—though disc locks rarely show any.
Security starts at the door. By choosing the right lock—and the right facility—you’re protecting more than just your belongings. You’re investing in peace of mind. At Hometown Express Storage, we’re proud to lead the way with disc locks and a commitment to safety that goes beyond the basics.
