Why choose wireless door security versus a wired system?

July 23, 2010 - PRLog -- QuikStor is one of the only self-storage companies that can protect storage units plus RV’s, automobiles, boats, portable containers and any other fixed or movable property in your care. By offering wireless protection on both storage units and RV’s, you will have higher occupancy, better security and happier customers.

Protecting a vacant or occupied storage unit is fast and simple, about five minutes per door. Our patented wireless door security installs on the outside of each storage unit. Why outside? Because it provides a highly visible crime deterrent, impressive area coverage and makes servicing a breeze. By contrast, wired alarms systems require the tenant, and an installer, to be present just to install or service a door sensor.

The advanced electronics, antenna and reed switches are securely encased in a high impact weather-sealed case. Our compact wireless door sensors are not affected by hurricane rains, abusive environments or corrosive coastal air. 20-year batteries are pre-installed and guaranteed to last for at least 10-years, even when located on the busy front door of your management office.

Unlike a wired security system, there are no wires to protect, pavement to cut or conduit to run to each of your units. QuikStor wireless door sensors incorporate advanced tamper systems to detect attempts to either open or remove the sensor. If a thief brings another magnet near the door sensor, it will be detected and summon help. Cutting wires or placing a paper clip across contacts can’t defeat our system because it is wireless.

Our wireless door sensors continue to be enhanced by dozens of full time engineers. Prior installations include the FBI, armed forces, the White House, airport control towers (for anti-terrorism) and millions of metal and wood doors nationwide. No other product can boast such an impressive clientele.

How can QuikStor wireless work in places where wireless phones fail? Cellular phones are designed to transmit continuously at low power and on channels shared by thousands of competing devices. We use redundant digital transmissions on a frequency designed to penetrate wood and reflect off metal walls. This provides wide area coverage and reliable communications. If you select QuikStor, your facility will be protected by the same security that is in place at hundreds of Public Storage facilities nationwide.

Is Wireless Security Affordable?
We have a great solution. Purchase 200 QuikStor wireless door sensors to start. QuikStor alarms are modular which means that you do not have to buy all at once. Renting door alarms allows each tenant to decide if they value this extra protection. Based on a $5 monthly security rental and only 200 protected doors, a $12,000 return on investment will be collected annually. Compare this to a wired security system, which can’t be rented to your tenants and thus, provides no return on investment.

Additional sensors can be bought and installed as needed. As your site expands, so will your QuikStor security system. Changing your unit mix? Just relocate a wireless door sensor to where it is now needed. Do you have special needs? We offer wireless motion detectors to protect hallways and RV’s.

We have wireless key-chain gate openers so tenants arriving late at night or in large trucks do not even need to open their car window to enter their gate code. And we have wireless panic pendants for the manager.

Every tenant that wants to rent individual door security can have it immediately. This allows you to advertise the benefit of providing access and door alarm protection from day one. You will be offering rental rates that undercut your competition while you receive a very healthy return from these value added security services.
