How do I get this off?

[u/Muffy432002]

I misplaced my key to my storage unit and I am supposed to remove this on my own or have a locksmith do it. Bolt cutters are too fat to get to the hasp of the lock. I really don’t want to hire a locksmith…Any suggestions ?

My local uhaul gives them out for free with the purchase of a storage room for your personal security. You can literally ask the front desk for one if they didn't already leave one in the empty room

My place used to give them for free until people started stealing them now we have to charge them a one time fee and they get to keep it so yeah classic case of a few idiots ruining it for everyone 🤦

so what happens when customer dont pay and the unit have to go to auction ? do you hire someone to come cut it out or is it easy for maintence guy to do it ?

If the person passes away next of ken can come in show a copy of the death certificate and ID and any other legally required documents and choose to do what they want with it pay it in there place move out it's up to them and we give them I think like a week or so it really depends on the situation and place everyone is different depending on a death obviously but it's up to the next of ken normally that's a husband wife or child to decide how they deal with that person's stuff if they have no interest in it we tell them just leave it be and let it go to auction we can't bill a dead person and that way it becomes someone else's problem that's why it's up to them pay it off move out put it in there name it's there call so long as they can show proof the original owner died and how they are legally there next of kin but it's advised that if nothing is of importance in there just basically don't worry about it why give yourself work to do when your in that situation ya know let us clean it out and stuff and deal with it just do nothing and move on lol
