How to choose a self-storage lock

When choosing a self-storage lock, there are a few key factors to consider to ensure that your belongings are optimally protected. Here are some of the key considerations given by Kerong:

1. The type of lock. There are two main types of self-storage locks: padlocks and disc locks. Padlocks are usually more common and relatively inexpensive, but they can be easier to pick open. Disc locks are more secure because they are designed to make it difficult for the lock picking tool to insert.

2. The material of the lock. The material of the lock directly affects its durability and security. High-quality locks are usually made of hardened steel or stainless steel, materials that are resistant to breaking by cutting and lockpicking tools.

3. The size of the lock. Make sure the lock size you choose is appropriate for your storage unit door. Locks that are too large or too small can cause installation difficulties or security risks.

4. The security level of the lock. Look at the security rating of the lock, such as the ANSI/BHMA rating, which can help you with the protection of unlocking. The higher the rating, the better the security of the lock is usually good

5. Waterproof and anti-rust performance. If your storage unit is located outdoors or in a humid environment, it is very important to choose a lock with good waterproof and rust resistance, which can extend the life of the lock.

6. Key management. Consider how the lock is managed with the key. Some locks offer a recodeable key system, which can provide additional security in the event of a lost or stolen key.
