> A entrance to a mini-storage place is probably OK to be weak. Presumably, you are required to have a proper lock on your own unit.

You'd like the entrance to be strong, because access to the entrance grants you secluded access to all the units, and angle grinders beat locks in seconds, proper locks in just a few more seconds.

Of course, cars beat entrance gates pretty easily too.

They're hardly worth stealing.

Or do you mean they might prevent theft? Or deter it? It is my experience that they are pretty useless at both.
