Frequently Asked Questions – DeWitt Saber Storage

How do I get the gate to open when I’m leaving?

Opening the gate when leaving is simple! Pull your vehicle up close to the gate—within about a foot—and it will automatically open. This ensures smooth exit without needing to use your gate code again.


Moving Out of Your Storage Unit

We want moving in and out of your storage unit to be simple and stress-free.

How do I move out of my storage unit?

Moving out is easy. Once your unit is empty, just contact us by phone or through our website and we’ll take care of closing your account.

Before moving out, please make sure:

 - The unit is completely empty

- The unit is clean and free of trash

- Your lock has been removed

After we confirm the unit is empty, your account will be closed.

Do you require notice before moving out?

Yes. Please provide a 30-day notice when you plan to move out so we can prepare the unit for the next renter. A simple call or message is all it takes.

Do you prorate rent when I move out?

No, rent is billed monthly and is not prorated for partial months. We recommend planning your move-out near the end of your billing cycle when possible.

Rules and Pest Control

What items cannot be stored in a storage unit?

To keep our facility safe and clean, we do not allow:

Perishable items: Food, grass seed, or anything that attracts pests 

- Flammable or hazardous materials: Gas, propane, fireworks, explosives, or any flammable substances

Illegal items: Anything illegal under local, state, or federal law

For small engines or gas-powered equipment, please empty all gas and oil before storing.

How does DeWitt Saber Storage handle pest control?

Our facility is professionally managed for pest control. We have bait stations around the exterior of the buildings and regularly spray for insects.

Because we cannot access the interior of rented units, tenants should store items in a way that doesn’t attract pests:

- Avoid storing perishable items like food or grass seed 

- Consider adding bait traps inside your unit if pests are a concern

- Follow professional recommendations, such as using dehydrated bait stations

By following these tips, you can help maintain a clean, pest-free storage environment for everyone.
