The Traditional Storage Problem
If you've ever used traditional self storage in Gypsum or anywhere in Eagle County, you know the frustrations. Here's what every storage customer has experienced:
Traditional padlocks mean physical keys that get lost, forgotten, or buried in your car during Colorado snowstorms. Most facilities charge $15-50 for lockout assistance, and that's if they're even open when you need help.
Need access on Sunday evening? Too bad. Most Gypsum storage facilities operate 6am-10pm or worse. Your schedule doesn't matter to traditional storage operators.
Want your spouse to pick something up? Need an employee to access business inventory? Traditional storage requires physical key exchanges, duplicate fees, and trust that keys won't get lost.
With traditional locks, you have no idea who accessed your unit or when. Did your teenager grab their ski equipment? Did an employee check the inventory? You'll never know.
