Most thieves breaking into a storage facility are hitting multiple units so they want to break in to units they can access quickly and easily. If you have a disc lock it can act as a deterrent in that type of situation and they usually pass your unit by which means no mangled mess for you to reorganize. As a storage facility manager, I’m experienced at cutting locks and it can still take me a good 15 minutes to cut through a disc lock most thieves don’t have that kind of time to stand in front of a storage unit without raising suspicion. To cut off a disc lock you need a metal grinder and it takes a while unlike being able to snip off a pad lock which takes only seconds. I still recommend the disc lock. Thieves only know what’s in a unit after they break into it and riffle through all your stuff. Usually leaving it a damaged, mangled, mess. “But I don’t have anything of value in my storage unit…”. most pad locks are laminated steel and because the disc lock has a shorter shank it can not be cut with a bolt cutter like most pad locks can thus it is more secure. Even at the best storage facilities with the best security, there are no guarantees and theft is still a concern same as it is at your home or with your automobile. While I don’t require a specific type of lock be used at my facility, I generally recommend the disc lock (and so do most other self storage facilities).
“What is the difference between a pad lock and a disc lock…”.
