Press Release Summary = Portable storage isn\'t just large steel boxes. The National
Portable Storage Association offers tips for securing your container with specialty
product add-ons.

Press Release Body = KANSAS CITY, MO. (June 19, 2007) - Portable storage containers
come with security bells and whistles that rival some high-priced homes. From
security bars to lock boxes to full blown electronic security systems, containerized
storage has evolved to ensure the safekeeping of expensive equipment, vital records,
and other important items.

\"Many people don\'t realize how sophisticated are the security options for today\'s
portable storage units,\" said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director the National
Portable Storage Association, or NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated
to the advancement of the portable storage industry. \"There are many different
options available for securing a container. It just depends on your individual
needs.\"

For example, customers who need containers with custom-built windows could choose
security bars to secure windows from the outside or inside. The bars have a fully
welded design and protect the unit from vandalism. Customers might also choose lock
boxes that ensure stored contents are safe. Stainless steal locks and tamper-proof
crossbar door bars deter thieves, and send them looking for an easier target.

For higher security, containerized storage can be pre-wired with ADT security
systems. ADT offers seamless monitoring through seven fully connected centers
strategically located throughout the United States and provides continuous service
to more than 2.1 million customers. The service can monitor the container 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. And an International Disaster Management program provides
uninterrupted service in times of crisis.

\"The level of sophistication of security features for portable storage is not widely
known,\" said NPSA Operations Manager Joel Rathbone. \"Whether you are securing
construction equipment, an on-site office or some other contents, the variety of
security features available for containerized storage offers options for every
budget and every need.\"
