Security is always top-of-mind for your self-storage customers, and the component they see and use the most is their door lock. Your choice here is critical, whether you’re building a new facility or retrofitting an existing one. Do you go traditional or digital? As the relatively new kid on the block, smart locks offer advantages for operators and tenants, for example, the ability to open a door with a phone, share digital keys or overlock units from afar. However, they also come with risk and a heftier price tag. Plus, “old-school” locking systems have come a long way. It’s quite a conundrum! It’s also the focus of this panel presentation, recorded during the 2024 Virtual Self Storage Conference, in which four industry experts discuss pros and cons. Before you invest in door-lock technology for your facility, first hear what Thaddeus Campbell, Brett Copper, Anne Mari DeCoster and Beau Agnello have to say on the subject.
