Does Central MA Self Storage provide me with a lock?

Yes!  We have brand new disc locks available for each new unit rented as a courtesy for renting from us.  They are brand new, sealed in their package, keyed differently, and you keep all the keys.  When you are done renting you may keep the lock.  If you would like to use your own lock you may.

In the event that you misplace your keys, we can cut your lock for an additional fee.  You will have to pay for a replacement lock.

Only one lock is allowed per door latch, and you must keep your unit locked at all times.  We inspect all locks daily.  When you move out you must remove your lock.
