Mini Storage Slide Bolt Latch Kit – Secure Garage Doors

Mini Storage Doors Deserve Big-Time Security

If you're managing mini storage units, roll-up doors, or light-duty garage spaces, you know security is everything. The Mini Storage Garage Door Slide Bolt Latch Security Kit is a simple but solid way to boost protection without blowing the budget.

Whether you're retrofitting an old unit or adding peace of mind to a new install, this tamper-resistant latch system locks things down tight—and installs in minutes.

What It Is and What It Does

This kit includes everything you need to secure the inside of a roll-up or mini storage door. The slide bolt mechanism fastens into the door track or jamb, while the latch arm allows for easy padlock access.

It’s ideal for personal storage units, commercial roll-up doors, or any situation where interior security is key.

Why You Might Need One

  • 🔐 Upgrade old or damaged locks: Replace flimsy or rusted latches with something more secure.
  • 🚪 Secure vacant units: Keep empty storage units protected from tampering or unauthorized access.
  • 💼 Protect your assets: Whether you’re storing tools, inventory, or personal items, you need a reliable locking point.

Installs in Minutes, Protects for Years

This slide bolt latch system mounts directly to the inside of your garage or storage door with standard screws or bolts (not included). All it takes is a drill and some basic tools—and you’re done in under 10 minutes.

Bonus: Because it’s installed from the inside, it’s much harder for intruders to tamper with or break through.

Save Money with Smarter Security

Let’s face it—replacing stolen tools or inventory is expensive. A <$20 latch could save you thousands in losses or damage. Plus, it reduces the need for expensive alarm systems in some low-risk areas.

This is a small, low-tech solution with a high return on peace of mind.
