If you need to call them, call 214-469-1718 and leave a voicemail. The number on Google Maps, 463-900-2723, just transfers you and then hangs up with no voicemail or anything. Even calling the corporate customer service number, 866-247-6620, makes it extremely difficult to speak to a live person. That said, please read on because they make everything else easy and automated.
5 stars. Super safe facility, super clean, super easy access using their number keypad. Auto-pay is easy to set up in the app. You bring your own lock which you can get online or at Home Depot, called a "Sliding Diecast Door Cylinder Lock". They have two large rolling carts you can roll outside from your car. You get an 8-digit code so on the gate keypad you press star (*), then your number, then pound (#) to access the gate. Your building keypad, same process. Elevator keypad, same process, then the elevator button will work. You don't need a keypad punch to leave on the elevator or building, but you must enter the exit gate keypad code when you're driving out the back gate.
The Public Storage app proximity access didn't work for me consistently at the gate, building or elevator, probably because I have a Verizon dead spot as this 4th Army Drive location up in Frisco is a little out of the way. If you enter the front gate, you must wait and enter your own code -- someone piggybacked into the front gate behind me one time, which was not cool because I was the only one there and this caused me concern. I had to watch and make sure they didn't try to piggyback off of me to enter the building, which they didn't. In any case, I felt safe because they have cameras everywhere. But if someone follows you and piggybacks off you and enters the facility using your code instead of their own code, make sure you call the Property Manager, Josh, at 214-469-1718, because he can see everything on the security cameras and he can address it with the other person.
I had trouble reaching a live person at Public Storage to confirm my move-out last week, but the app makes it easy to do all this.
Today, Paul called on my move-out day to confirm my unit is empty, clean and unlocked, and to email me the final move-out confirmation with zero balance. I got the email while on the phone with him.
I didn't get any pro-rated money back after paying for the full month, with Josh saying "because it's so close to the end of the month".
This is in perfect compliance with the rental contract, which states you pay for the full last month, even if you give 7-day notice early in the month and move out mid-month, and won't receive any pro-rated refund:
"11.1 You may terminate this Rental Agreement at any time by giving 7 days' written notice to us; however, you must still pay all amounts due (including the full Monthly Rent for your last month of the term)."
I would definitely recommend this facility, but their app and website could do a better job providing details like I did above. And management should update their phone number in Google Maps and make it easier to reach them without the phone line just hanging up. read more
