WHY 10 FEDERAL STORAGE
Self Storage That Runs on Your Schedule
Plenty of storage companies still send you to a counter to finish the rental. We never built one. Rent online in a few minutes, get your codes by email and text, and come and go 24/7 at nearly all of our 130+ locations in 16 states.
- 24/7 — Gate access at nearly all locations
- Contactless — Rent, sign, and pay online

24/7 gate access is available at nearly all locations. The few that keep posted hours list them on the facility page.
What Makes 10 Federal Storage Different from Other Self-Storage Companies?
Plenty of storage companies let you reserve a unit online. Then you still drive over during office hours, stand at a counter, sign paperwork, and wait for someone to hand you a gate code.
10 Federal Storage removed that second half entirely. The rental you start online is the rental you finish online, at any hour, and your codes arrive right after checkout. That one decision shapes everything below: how you get in, how your unit is protected, how you pay, and how you leave.
How a Rental Compares
Some operators offer pieces of this. The difference here is that there is no counter to fall back on, so every step is built to work without one.
Traditional counter rental
- Where you rent — at the office, during office hours
- Paperwork — printed lease signed at the counter
- Getting your codes — handed over at the counter
- Getting in — posted gate hours at many facilities
- Your lock — often bought at the counter
- Paying — at the office, by phone, or online
- Moving out — notice form, often in person
10 Federal Storage
- Where you rent — online, any time of day
- Paperwork — digital lease signed on your phone or computer
- Getting your codes — sent by email and text right after checkout
- Getting in — 24/7 at nearly all locations
- Your lock — free with every move-in
- Paying — autopay, MyAccount, or Quick Pay from any device
- Moving out — scheduled in MyAccount
1. 24/7 Access
Can I Access My Storage Unit Any Time of Day or Night?
Yes. Nearly all 10 Federal Storage locations are open to renters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. There is no check-in and no appointment. Enter your gate code and go.
Your gate code is sent by email and text the moment your rental is confirmed, so you can head over as soon as you check out. Visit as often as you like. There is no limit on trips and no need to call ahead.
- Weekends and holidays included. No holiday closures and no weekend hours to keep track of.
- Lit for after-dark visits. Grounds are lit so late trips are visible and safe.
- Codes always on hand. Both of your codes are saved in MyAccount if the email gets buried.
Planning a late-night trip?
A few locations keep posted access hours. They are listed on each facility page, so check yours once and you will know for good.
Three ways through the gate
- Gate keypad. Enter your personal gate code on the way in and on the way out.
- Text OPEN. No code handy? Text OPEN to the number on the gate sign from the mobile number on your account.
- Scan the QR code. The sign at the gate, and the sign next to your unit, open MyAccount, where both of your codes are saved.
2. Security Systems
How Does 10 Federal Storage Protect Your Belongings?
With layers that work together around the clock. Every facility combines gated entry, high-definition cameras, 24/7 video recording, lighting, and an individual lock on your unit, so reaching your belongings means getting past all of them.
- Gated entry with personal codes. Every renter gets a unique entry code, so only renters get through the gate.
- High-definition cameras. Cameras positioned throughout the property, with 24/7 video recording.
- Well-lit grounds. Bright lighting for safe, visible access at any hour.
- An individual lock on your unit. A free lock comes with every move-in and opens with your own unit unlock code.
Your unit and its lock. Opened with your own unit unlock code.
What security cannot do on its own
No facility can promise that nothing will ever go wrong, and we would not trust one that did. That is why a protection plan is required with every rental at every facility. It is added at checkout, so your belongings are covered from day one. And treat your codes like keys: anyone you share them with can open the gate and your unit.
3. Contactless Move-In
Can I Rent a Storage Unit Without Visiting an Office?
Yes, and that is the whole idea. Every step of renting, from choosing a unit to getting your codes, happens on your phone or computer. There are no office hours to work around, no forms to fill out in person, no line, and no app to download.
You pick your unit, enter your details, pay, and sign your lease digitally. Your gate code and unit unlock code arrive by email and text as soon as the rental is confirmed, and you can drive straight over. See every step below.
Prefer to talk it through? Our friendly customer support team can walk you through the whole rental by phone during business hours at (910) 991-0784.
What contactless means in practice
There is no front desk to sign for packages, sell boxes, or rent you a truck. Facilities cannot accept deliveries, and moving supplies and truck rentals are not sold on the property, so bring what you need with you. The moving truck size guide can help you book the right truck.
What you skip
- Driving to an office
- Office hours
- Waiting in line
- Paper forms
- Buying a lock
- Downloading an app
- Waiting for a gate code
Your lock is already waiting for you, and everything else happens online in minutes.
4. Month-to-Month Leasing
Does 10 Federal Storage Require a Long-Term Contract?
No. Every unit is rented month to month. There is no annual contract, no multi-month minimum, and no penalty for leaving when you are ready.
Stay for one month or several years. Your rental simply continues each month until you schedule your move-out, which you can do in MyAccount without a phone call.
- Need more room, or less? Our friendly customer support team can move you into a different unit, based on what is available at your facility.
- Need a second unit? One renter can hold several units at once, all under one account.
- One renter per rental. Each unit is rented to a single person or business, with no joint accounts or co-signers.
The one timing tip worth knowing
Unused days are not refunded, so schedule your move-out a few days before your next payment date rather than just after it.
Month to month, at a glance
- Minimum stay: One month
- Annual contract: None
- Penalty for leaving: None
- How to move out: Schedule in MyAccount
- Refund for unused days: Not offered
- Switching units: Through support
5. Online Account Management
How Do I Manage My Storage Account and Pay My Bill Online?
Through MyAccount, our customer portal. It works in any browser on your phone, tablet, or computer, and you sign in with your phone number and a code we text you. No password to remember and no app to install.

6. Climate-Controlled Storage
Does 10 Federal Storage Offer Climate-Controlled Units?
Yes, at select facilities. Climate-controlled units are interior spaces with heating and cooling that hold a steady temperature through every season, so summer heat and winter cold stay outside.
Extreme heat and cold can warp wood, crack leather, and shorten the life of electronics. A steady temperature keeps your most sensitive belongings in the condition you left them. These are the items that benefit most:
- Wood and upholstered furniture
- Electronics, TVs, and computers
- Artwork, framed photos, and collectibles
- Vinyl records and books
- Musical instruments
- Antiques and family heirlooms
- Business documents and inventory
- Mattresses and bedding
Dashed line: outside air across a year. Solid red line: inside a climate-controlled unit. Illustration of the idea, not measured data.
A simple rule of thumb
If you would not leave it in your attic through a full summer or winter, it belongs in climate control. Check a facility’s page to see whether climate-controlled units are available there, or read more about climate-controlled storage.
7. Storage Types Available
What Types of Storage Does 10 Federal Storage Offer?

8. How the Process Works
Four steps, all on your schedule. Most renters finish the first three in a few minutes.
- 1
Find your unit
Browse available units at locations near you and filter by size and storage type. Not sure what size you need? The size guide can help.
- 2
Rent online
Enter your details, add the required protection plan, pay, and sign your lease digitally. Any hour, any day.
- 3
Get your codes
Your gate code and unit unlock code arrive by email and text right after checkout, and they stay saved in MyAccount.
- 4
Move in
Head over when it suits you, enter your gate code, open your unit, and start unloading. Your free lock is already there.
Bring with you on move-in day
- Both codes. A screenshot helps if cell signal is weak at the gate.
- Boxes, tape, and packing supplies
- Your truck, trailer, or car
- Storing a vehicle? Current registration and proof of insurance.
- Freestanding shelving, if you want to use the full height
9. Is Contactless Storage Right for You?
For most renters, yes. But it is not for everyone, and it is better to know that before you rent than after.
A great fit if you
- Would rather rent at 10 PM than rearrange your day around office hours.
- Want to come and go freely without checking in or calling ahead.
- Like handling things from your phone including payments, codes, and account changes.
- Know roughly what you are storing or are happy to use the size guide first.
Maybe not the best fit if you
- Need somewhere to receive packages — facilities cannot accept deliveries of any kind.
- Plan to buy boxes or rent a truck on arrival — neither is sold on the property.
- Want a joint rental or a co-signer — each rental is held by one renter.
- Want someone to walk the property with you — there is no front desk. Our friendly customer support team answers questions by phone instead.
If one of those is a deal-breaker, a facility with a front office may suit you better, and that is a fair choice. If not, you will probably wonder why storage was ever done any other way.
