Do Not provide your code to contractors or other unauthorised personnel.  

If you have been provided a gate or roller door remote, you must return the key fob either at the request from the Facility Manager or at the completion of your storage agreement or work completion.  

Please be aware persons entering the premises do so at their own risk.
