Don’t Force Your Storage Facility to Cut Off Your Unit’s Lock

Milledgeville storage units in sunny Georgia have a few locks to cut this month.  We have been talking about the fine art of cutting locks and how important it is in doing it right, and following the exact process of doing it right.  We can not talk about this in any more serious tones, because it is so important to do it right.  We talked about disc locks and why it is useful to have a grinder on site to perform these acts of grinding locks like that instead of trying to cut them with bolt cutters.  We bought our grinder from a flea market for a much less price than it would be at a hardware store or another store in that same vein.  Grinders can cost some times up to one hundred dollars, and even at flea markets we paid we believe, thirty dollars for ours.  It was a good one though, so do not get a cheep weak one that can barely cut anything just to save a few dollars.  Everything must be working and be in good shape when you cut or grind a lock.  We are on a deadline to get these locks cut, because the process is very precise, and the laws of the United States of America are to protect everyone too sometimes.  These specific laws in this process of cutting and grinding locks must be followed, or lawsuits can occur.  It does make sense though, because as a paying customer with all your things in a storage place and space, you might just love because of memories and what have you, are important.  You do not want a self storage manager running around cutting locks and acting a fool.  That is not a very good manager, and that person should look for another job.  We are not in the business of treating customers the wrong way.  Help the customer. Do not hurt the customer.

Milledgeville storage units in sunny Georgia will grind a lock or two also.  If you cannot cut the lock for whatever reason on that specific date, do not fudge on the rules or the laws of the United States of America.  This is part of your job as a self storage manager, and it is really a very big part of your job to control your property.  The customer expects you to do everything right.  After all, they might be storing in your self-storage place thousands of dollars worth of stuff.  Be a good manager and do it right.  Another good bit of advice is to cut the locks early in the morning so as few customers as possible can see you do it.  It will not look good to watch a person cut a lock for most customers.  They do not want to know all the details if you know what we mean.

Milledgeville storage units in sunny Georgia will cut locks because they have to at times.  Most customers pay their bills though, and not many locks are cut in any given month.  If you are cutting or grinding too many locks, you might be doing something wrong before you get to that point.  Maybe you did not call the customer enough to remind them to pay their bill.  Look into it for all the people you manage, just not the ones that are affected by it.
