    Hi, I store my business items at the storage facility and I was wanting to know what the requirements for obtaining after hours gate access, I don't see the specific procedure listed anywhere on the website?

    Hi John! Our Lake Forest facility offers some of the longest, most convenient access hours in the area. They are 6AM to 10PM every day of the year. To inquire about 24HR access, please contact the store manager at (949) 454-9991, option 3. Looking… Read more

They offer referral fees and I've always been credited, even when I didn't know the person showed up and rented. Prices are exceptionally lower than other storage facilities. Strong big wooden doors to keep others from breaking in. Sr. Citizen discount that truly helps. Jesse the Manager in Lake Forest, has been amazing at maintaining the facility clean and secure for safety/security. He's been with the owners for a long time. Nice guy with a good heart for his tenants. I won't pay the extra rental costs (somewhere else) so a large public 'stock traded' storage corporation can impress their 'stock investors' with huge 'executive paychecks'. That is ridiculous simply to rent a small storage, when having a hard time, already. The owners of American Storage have been wonderful to their tenants. I don't mind paying their family business their fair rental price. This is one service I really lucked out. Thank you, the Sr. Discount has helped too. Thank you for your honest business dealings during the hardest time of my life. You were the only storage facility when shopping around that didn't try to bamboozle me.

    Upfront: I have been utilizing this storage company on and off, for years now…read more This review is to allow a small window into the truly exceptional staff that have saved my neck more than once. Last December, neigh on about a year ago, we were moving the Christmas decorations either into or out of, I cannot recall which it was, honestly. Needing a bit of motivation, for the return trip to the car, I reached into the upper breast pocket of my vest I was wearing at the time. Now, when this specific action occurred, I was just about to enter the elevator from the second floor, to ride to the first, thus ending this particular 'run'. As I did so, I fumbled my left earbud, and as luck would have it, the trajectory hurtled the tiny projectile straight into the crack between the elevator carriage, and the concrete shaft which houses the elevator mechanics and cables. Just like that....POOF. Gone. I checked Reddit; folks with the same issue all said "Give up now", or "...it's gone, Sir, you HAVE to let it go." Or so I thought. Realizing that I was devoid of money to replace a $250 set of Apple Earbuds, I called their office the very next day, hoping for some sort of Christmas Miracle. And let me tell you, Laura, the Holiday Earbud-saving Angel sent from above, delivered just that. She was entirely empathetic, listening to a grown man whimper over his lost toy. She sprang into action, checking the schedule for the next elevator servicing date. Despite having been recently serviced by the tech, she somehow arranged to get the Elevator mech back onsite, into the darkness of the void...far below the extremely heavy and seemingly unmoveable stealer of my tiny, happiness-enducing sound producers. All for a quick pluck of my now oddly-soiled earbud. (I don't know what was down there, and I'm not asking.) Laura came in for the win. From loss, to panic, to mobilization of her business network, all to save a clumsy dad a few bucks around the holidays. Cannot thank her enough. This is the team worth supporting.
