● Secure and safe location
Once your confidential documents are secured within your self storage unit,
there are additional steps that you can take to increase security.
First, limit the unit access to only one or two people who you trust. The fewer
people who have keys or access to your unit with confidential data, the less
chance there is for things to go missing.

storage in Canton Ohio will help maximize security. This is especially true if the
filing cabinets have locks on them. Placing your sensitive documents inside
locked filing cabinets in self storage doubles your security. If you’re storing
medical, legal and financial documents in boxes, consider covering them with a
tarp.
