Every feature your facility needs. One price. Nothing held back.
Brynlock is self-storage software for small business and owner-operators. Every incumbent in this market earned trust through years in the industry. We earn it differently: every claim on this page can be checked before you sign up. The processing rate is Stripe’s published rate. The lien templates cover all 50 states. Your data exports any time, one click, no support ticket. No demo call required.
What does self-storage management software need to do?
For a facility of 50 to 500 units, the software has five jobs. Brynlock does all five at one price, and each is covered in detail below.
Tenants sign from their phone. You never touch paper.
Send a lease signing link by email. Tenants sign from a phone, tablet, or desktop in about 2 minutes, with no app to download and no account to create. The signed PDF is stamped with an IP address and timestamp audit trail and stored securely. It is part of your plan, not an add-on.
Tenants pay themselves on the 1st. Every month.
You send the Stripe enrollment link once. Tenants set up a card or bank account from their phone in 2 minutes. On the 1st, charges run on their own and failed payments notify you right away. No checks under the door. Tenant payments are in preview today: online rentals, payment links, tenant-portal payments and autopay settle to Brynlock’s platform Stripe account, not to your bank, until per-operator payouts ship. Leave them off unless you have arranged settlement with us.
All 50 states. Correct citations. Zero spreadsheets.
Every state has its own notice periods, statute citations, and required language for a self-storage lien. Brynlock includes lien notice templates for all 50 states with the correct statute citations and calculates notice deadlines for 49 states plus DC (Iowa uses the template with deadlines you enter). A missed lien deadline creates real legal and financial exposure. A deadline the system calculates for you is harder to miss.
Delinquent tenants get a text on the 5th. You get paid faster.
People read texts. Brynlock sends SMS reminders through Twilio on the 5th of each month to every delinquent tenant, with STOP opt-out for TCPA compliance. Fewer delinquent tenants means fewer lien notices to send.
Your whole facility in one view.
See every unit at a glance: occupied, available, overlocked, delinquent. Create leases in under a minute. Full tenant CRM with notes and an activity timeline. Move tenants between units without losing history.
Stripe at cost. No markup, ever.
We pass Stripe’s processing fees straight through: 2.9% + 30¢ for cards, 0.8% for ACH. There is no gateway markup and no hidden billing fee. Late fees post on the schedule you configure.
Live unit listings. Online reservations. Instant.
Every facility gets a public rental page at /rent/[your-facility]: upload photos, set hours, show live unit availability, and let tenants reserve online. You do not need a separate website host for your rental listings. Custom domains are supported.
Track every inquiry from first contact to signed lease.
Every prospect lives in a six-stage pipeline: New, Contacted, Quoted, Tour Scheduled, Converted, Lost. Log notes and follow-ups on the activity timeline, track how each lead found you, and convert a won lead straight to a lease without retyping anything. You do not need a separate CRM subscription.
Raise rates when the math says to. Not when you remember to.
Every Monday, Brynlock checks occupancy by unit type. At 85% or higher on any tier, it suggests a rate increase and adds it to a review queue. You accept or dismiss each suggestion; nothing changes on its own. There is no black-box yield management and no separate tool to buy.
Payments post to QuickBooks overnight. No manual exports.
Connect QuickBooks Online via OAuth in one click. Every morning at 6am, the previous day’s payments post as Sales Receipts. No CSV exports and no third-party connector. Your accountant will notice.
One login. Every facility. No per-location fee.
Manage your whole portfolio from one account. A facility switcher in the dashboard header jumps between locations. The Properties overview shows aggregate metrics across all facilities. Pricing stays at $0.50/unit with no per-location surcharge.
Tenants pay from a link. No app and no account.
Send a payment link by text or email. Tenants pay from a secure token-gated portal: tap the link, enter payment, done. There is no account to create and no app to download. Late notices and payment receipts go out on their own.
Every number you need. No extra BI tool required.
The reports dashboard goes past occupancy. Delinquency aging buckets show how much is owed at 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, and 91+ days. The occupancy report calculates gross vs. economic occupancy, average rent at lease start vs. today, length of stay, and lifetime value per tenant. Move activity shows who moved in and out this month and who is scheduled next month. Every report exports to CSV in one click.
Five escalating notices. Zero manual follow-ups.
Brynlock runs a five-stage email escalation on every delinquent tenant without you touching it. Day 3: friendly reminder with a payment link. Day 7: late fee applied notice. Day 14: pre-lien warning. Day 30: lien recorded notice. Day 45: auction scheduled. Each stage fires exactly once per delinquency episode via idempotency keys. SMS overdue reminders go out on the 5th of each month (TCPA-compliant). When a tenant’s gate-connected unit crosses the delinquency threshold, the unit overlocks and then releases the moment payment clears.
Live the same day you import
Export your data from SiteLink or Unit Trac as a CSV. The importer detects the column format and brings in units, tenants, and leases. You do not edit the spreadsheet and there is no migration fee. Import takes about an hour; autopay runs on the next 1st.

Gate codes managed from your dashboard
Gate codes are stored in every tenant record from day one and managed from the dashboard. Noke Smart Entry, DoorKing, and OpenTech CIA are live today. Units unlock on lease activation, lock when tenants go delinquent, and release again the moment payment clears. PTI integration via the Seam SDK is in active development.

Common feature questions
What’s included, what’s integrated, and what stays portable.
Yes. eSign is included in the base $0.50/unit/mo subscription with no add-on fee. Tenants sign leases from a phone, tablet, or desktop in about 2 minutes, with no app to download and no account to create. Every signed lease is stamped with an IP address and timestamp audit trail and stored as a signed PDF in Supabase Storage.
A 5-stage automated email ladder fires on Day 3 (friendly reminder), Day 7 (late fee notice), Day 14 (pre-lien warning), Day 30 (lien recorded), and Day 45 (auction scheduled). Each notice uses state-specific lien-law templates with correct statute citations. Operators can override individual stages, pause notices per tenant, and trigger overlock manually or automatically when gates are integrated.
Noke Smart Entry, DoorKing (DKAMS, both via Seam and direct WebAPI), and OpenTech Alliance CIA are live in production. PTI Security Systems is in active development via the Seam SDK. Gate codes are stored per tenant and managed from the dashboard. Units unlock on lease activation, overlock on delinquency, and release the moment payment clears.
Yes. Multi-facility support is included at no additional cost. Operators with several facilities use a single dashboard with a facility switcher and a portfolio overview page. Every location is billed at $0.50/unit/mo with a $25 monthly minimum on the account.
Yes. Brynlock includes a free CSV importer that brings in units, tenants, and leases. SiteLink and Unit Trac exports are auto-detected; any other export (Storable, 6Storage, a spreadsheet) goes through a column mapper. Balances and payment history are not imported; Brynlock starts a fresh ledger from the import date. Step-by-step vendor-specific guides are at /migrate/sitelink and /migrate/unit-trac.
Yes. Brynlock exposes a versioned REST API at /api/v1/* covering tenants, units, leases, payments, and webhooks. The OpenAPI spec is publicly available at /api/v1/openapi. API keys are managed from dashboard settings; per-key rate limits and usage analytics are included.
