Unit Lock-Cuts and Inventories:

Once your self-storage tenant’s account goes in to lien status, the tenant’s lock(s) must be cut and their unit inventoried. This is how our lock-cut and inventory program works:

• H.D.A.I. technician makes arrangement with facility manager when to arrive.
• The facility manager provides the list of units to be processed.
• The tenant’s lock(s) are cut and removed, and the unit door is opened.
• The unit contents are inventoried on to a facility specific inventory form.
• A series of 8 to 10 digital photographs are taken of the unit contents.
• The unit door is closed, and a numbered seal is attached to the unit door hasp.
• The unit inventory form and the respective digital photographs are transferred to the facility manager, via a flash drive, or a link to access the photographs on our cloud server.
• We have different pricing models to fit the sole facility or the largest R.E.I.T.
