FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Entry and Exit
HOW DO I GET ENTRY TO MY UNIT?
With Spacebox, you can enter the facility and your unit using just your mobile phone. Before your move-in date, you will receive a text message to your mobile phone with instructions on how to set this up. It will require the download of a Spacebox app from either the Apple or Android app stores. Downloading the app and gaining access is simple, but if you are in any doubt, we recommend moving in on a weekday, when we can be reached on the phone for any queries.
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE APP?
Follow the instructions in the text message sent to you, which will take you to the Apple or Android app stores, depending on which device you have.
WHY WOULDN’T THE GATES/DOORS/UNIT DOOR OPEN FOR ME?
If it is after 11 pm and before 6 am, the doors are only set to allow exit. If it is not opening for another reason, contact us on 01213260060
*Please note the front gates are automated; do not push or pull them as access is through your app.
