I run a storage facility in Massachusetts. It seems as though you can only get so much out of the unit rentwise based on what the local market will bare. Does anyone have any ideas on extras that can be offered to upsell in the unit. Meaning mandatory insurance, shelving rental, things of that nature. Any thoughts? If so, what do you charge?

That's the reason I Sell & recommend a disc lock. ( It takes about 1-2 min, if that, to cut them off with a 4in cut off wheel & A fully charged battery )

We use disk locks since they are much harder to cut with bolt cutters and we, so far, don't want to retrofit 1000 doors with new hardware. We use a diamond wheel to cut the locks, when necessary, since we can get 20 cuts or so versus one or two with a traditional cutting disk.
As far as upselling, we have the usual moving and storage retail items on display. They don't make a huge difference, but they do sell. Consider what other places are nearby and offer items or services that might compliment. For instance, we are near an airport and we can offer long term parking for much less than the airport.

I came in one day years ago to find that about 20 vehicles had been burglarized. Copper stolen from the plumbing vehicles, gas siphoned from the pool service trucks, electronics stolen from RV's. It was horrible. Not something any manager wants to deal with. But at least we couldn't blame inferior locks or latches!!!
