Not really an issue now since it's never more than a handful but I've had sites in the past that delinquency were major issues and I always wanted the smart locks so I could do 100+ overlocks with a click of a button3

storallgsa Registered User, Daily Operations Certified, Advanced Operations Certified, myHub Certified ✭✭✭I really want my buildings painted. I've been pushing for it for about 5 years now, and it looks like it is going to finally happen maybe this year. LOL! I manage the oldest facility in northern Nevada, and we kinda look like it lol.2

skinman Registered User, Daily Operations Certified, Advanced Operations Certified, Administrator Certified, myHub Certified ✭✭✭✭✭Not at all @storallgsa... The more run down you let a facility become or look, the more problems IMO... One of our locations is 42 years old... but you wouldn't think it by looking at it.4

We have 5 facilities in the company (family-owned and operated), and sometimes I feel like the "step child" facility because the other facilities constantly get new things or upgrades, etc. I JUST got cameras 2 years ago, and I still only got 4 of them LOL. Thankfully, the crime rate is incredibly low where I am at, and in over 5 years of being here I've never had a burglary or really anything criminal happen ***knock on wood***.3 -

@storallgsa it may be the "don't fix what isn't broke" issue.. I've had stores under me that the staff and myself felt needed TONS of work, but at the same time it was one of the highest year over year increase stories we had so the owners didn't see the point in putting more money into it if they were happy with what it was doing already. They actually just let it roll that way until Extra space got interested and bought it last year.

Thanks to everyone who voted in our JUNE poll and added comments about their security wish list features. Security is always a hot topic! A total of 31 people weighed in with a vote.
We are closing the poll today -- lots of items to wrap up this week before the holiday next week! Stay tuned for July's poll, posting soon.
