Don’t Forget to Pay the Rent on Your Storage Unit

  • Lawrenceville storage units in sunny Georgia will cut locks too.  Our last discussion was about cutting locks when certain customers will not pay the self storage bill.  This a process that we will also discuss later in another article to get all of the managers familiar with this process.  Some countries around the world may have different laws and different policies when cutting locks on storage spaces that are not being paid on, but we will stick with the good old United States of America policies and procedures.  It is different State to State remember, but a lot of it is pretty similar.  We were cutting disc locks before and how to do it safely.  A disc lock is one of those locks that are round and the steel part is not showing very much, so bolt cutters can not fit inside to snap the lock off.  There is a little room though really, and managers like yours truly have cut a few disc locks with a bolt cutter.  Not everyone can, there is a trick to it, but we suggest using a grinder for the lock.  Grinders can be hard to use to if one has never used one before so be careful at first.  A lot of experienced managers of self storage units in the United States of America will show new managers how to cut a lock with a grinder to make sure they have an idea to do it and how it all works.  We have seen some managers grind a lock off in minutes, and some managers never getting the way to do it.  You must know how to get a disc lock off a self storage unit or you will never be a good manager, or even a manager in this business.  You can do it though, and the first few times might be tricky.  Other people have used grinders before, and know how to do it, even though they have never grinded down a lock before.

    Lawrenceville storage units in sunny Georgia have locks cut on their property.  The manager should lock up the bolt cutters and the grinders in a specific unit that is their own, or it is a storage unit that has been designated as a storage unit to store things a manager might need to run the business.  Also clean up items can be held and stored in this unit too.  We put a golf cart in ours and boxes and brooms and stuff like that.  We believe every storage place in the United States of America has a storage unit like this one.  It is also smart to keep this storage unit near the office.  Therefore, your bolt cutters are locked up.  Never let a customer borrow bolt cutters or let a customer with bolt cutters on the property.  Never do that for good reasons.  Can you imagine if other customers on the storage property saw other people walking around with bolt cutters?  That is never, ever a good idea.

    Lawrenceville storage units in sunny Georgia have cut and grinded locks too.  Many storage places have grinders on the property if they sell disc locks in their office.  The locks are great, and it keeps all the storage spaces safer for all of us.  Good luck to everyone.
