Built Like a Fortress
When you’re shopping for storage, most facilities look the same from the outside—rows of metal doors and asphalt. But at Los Hermanos Storage, it’s what’s between the units that makes the difference. While many modern facilities are built with thin metal partitions between units, Los Hermanos Storage utilizes solid concrete block construction. Although it’s a more costly construction method, it makes units more secure and a more secure unit is better for you and your belongings.
The Flaw in Metal Units: The “Tunneling” Risk
Many people don’t realize that the weakest point in a standard storage facility isn’t always the front door. Santa Fe law enforcement often points to a growing trend in storage theft: Tunneling. In facilities with thin metal or wood-lathe walls, a thief only needs to break into one unit with a weak lock or even rent a unit at a facility to have access to an adjacent unit. Once inside, they can easily cut through the side wall into the next unit, and the next, and the next. They can bypass dozens of expensive door locks without ever stepping back out into the hallway or in view of a camera.
The Los Hermanos Advantage: Solid Concrete Block
At Los Hermanos, we’ve essentially eliminated the “domino effect” of theft.
- Impenetrable Barriers: Our units are separated by solid block walls. You can’t “cut” through them with a pair of tin snips or a battery-powered saw or grinder.
- True Privacy: Block walls don’t just offer security; they offer structural integrity. Your unit is a self-contained vault, not just a partitioned space.
- Fire Resistance: In addition to stopping thieves, concrete block is naturally fire-resistant, providing an extra layer of protection that metal and wood simply can’t match.
Why “Old School” Construction is Better
In a world of “pre-fab” buildings and cheap materials, we stick to the gold standard. Block construction is more expensive to build, but it lasts longer and keeps your property safer. When a thief sees a block-constructed facility, they usually move on to an easier target.
Peace of Mind You Can Feel
When you knock on the walls at Los Hermanos, they don’t rattle. They are solid, secure, and built to last. We believe that if it’s worth storing, it’s worth protecting with the strongest materials available.
Don’t leave your valuables behind a thin sheet of metal. Choose the facility built like a fortress.
