• Vital Information for Markham Furniture Storage
    By admin on August 6, 2010 | No Comments  Comments

    When you are looking for Markham furniture storage there are some key terms that you will want to get familiar with so that you know what is going on when you are making some calls around for a space. Most facilities will either do first of the month billing or anniversary billing. First of the month billing is pretty self explanatory because that just means that the bill would be due on the first of the month each and every month. Anniversary billing would mean that your bill would be due on the same day each month that you signed up for the space initially. For example, if you get set up on the sixth of the month, then your bill would always be due on the sixth of every month. Every once in a while, you may run into a location that does fifteenth of the month billing or even last of the month billing, but this is pretty rare.

    Some of the Markham furniture storage locations will pro rate and some will not. Pro rating the move in would be applicable with first of the month billing and not with anniversary billing. With first of the month billing, you would just pay for the remaining days of the move in month and not for the whole month. For example, if you got moved in on the fifteenth of the month, then you would need to pay for the last half of the month and not for the whole month. Some sites do not do pro rating so do not assume that they do. You will want to make sure to ask when you are calling around for rates in the area. Also, some sites do pro rate the move out, but most do not so make sure to ask about that, as well.

    Locks are a big part of the Markham furniture storage process so it is wise to become familiar with a couple of different types of locks. First of all, combination locks are usually not allowed at most sites. However, most sites will require the use of a lock for security of your valuables while they are in storage. There are a couple of sites out there that do not require a lock, but you would be smart to put a lock on there either way. The most common lock would be the padlock. This is a standard lock with a key that can be purchased at the site and will cost around ten dollars. A lot of Markham furniture storage customers will prefer the added security of a disc lock. They are round and are about the same shape and size as a hockey puck. They are stronger and designed to keep people from cutting the lock off of the unit. A criminal would need to drill through the lock in order to get into the Markham furniture storage unit and take your belongings. That would wake up the neighborhood and should stop anyone from trying. Some sites will have a cylinder lock that actually goes into the door. If the site has cylinder locks, they will usually require them. Disc and cylinder locks are more secure and will cost about fifteen or twenty dollars. They are worth the extra money for the added security that they will offer.
