How are my goods protected at Stor-Wel?
Our security system is truly state-of-the-art and we take great pride in providing superior protection. Each of our customers is given an electronic access key that identifies who they are, which regions of the buildings they may access and at what time they may access it. What’s more, this electronic key also integrates with the alarm system of the building. Our alarm system is truly unique in that every locker in the facility is alarmed. By using your electronic access key, you deactivate your own alarm. Exit staircase doors and exterior doors are alarmed as well. We also use magnetic locking mechanisms on all exterior doors to prevent outsiders from getting into the building. In addition, we have dozens of motion sensing video cameras that track movement on the premises.
