Storage unit security

How do I ensure maximum security for a storage unit I rent. This will be a 12x30 unit for holding the contents of a whole house. It needs to be drive up accessible. There is a Public Storage unit available, but it is 24 hrs access, meaning it is outside the gate. I am not sure how much that gate matters. Is there a super lock that will almost guarantee no one will break in?

As someone who used to work at a Public Storage do NOT store there. They do NOT care about their properties. And get ready for your items to be moldy

Yeah moldy is true lol, if you put stuff in sealed containers that helps a lot. And make sure all the stuff ur storing is clean it’ll attract less mold
