Why don’t you film the cutting of the lock?

StorageHunt encourages the practice of recording the removal of a unit's original lock at storage facilities. However, the feasibility of this practice can vary due to local lien laws. Typically, when a tenant falls behind on rent by a single payment period, the facility might promptly cut the lock and substitute it with their own. This action is taken to prevent unauthorized access by the tenant until their overdue rent is settled. The complete lien process, involving a series of certified letters and phone communications, can span several months. Only when this legal procedure concludes does the facility record the contents of the unit. Hence, not all videos will feature the lock-cutting process.

It's important to remember that your bidding decisions should rely solely on the visible items depicted in the video and photographs. Basing your bids on the potential contents hidden in the depths of the unit, which you cannot observe, is discouraged. By adhering to this fundamental principle, achieving success in storage auctions becomes consistent. Any items beyond your initial visual assessment present a chance for profit. Conversely, gambling on unobservable contents increases the risk of ending up with a storage unit that doesn't yield a profitable return.
