Meet Locked—Boxxs’s Cute, Clever Little Sister

At Boxxs, we’ve always kept things simple. Clean, secure, drive-up storage with no fuss and no delays—the kind of space that works, whether running a small business or clearing out the garage.

But while we’ve been busy doing our thing in Linlithgow, our parent company, SRA Ventures, has been working on something exciting. A little sister for us. She’s called Locked, and she’s got big plans.

Locked is clever. She’s all about tech, automation and smart indoor storage. No keys, hassle—just seamless access, digital systems and sleek design. Her first site, a former police station in Alloa, is already being transformed. If all goes to plan, she’ll be up and running before the end of 2025.

What makes Locked special isn’t just her brains; it’s her whole setup. Everything she’s building is designed around ease, speed, and control. Customers will be able to choose and book a unit online in just a few taps, complete their ID checks digitally, and move in on the same day. There’s no need to speak to anyone. There’s no waiting around for keys. It’s all handled remotely, securely, and in real time.

Access is where she shines. Instead of padlocks and codes, Locked uses smart entry. You unlock your unit using your phone. The system logs every entry and exit, giving you complete visibility and peace of mind. And because everything’s digital, you can instantly share access with family or colleagues—no need to chase down a spare key or meet someone on site.

Inside, it’s just as thoughtful. The buildings will be clean, dry, and climate-controlled to keep their contents in perfect condition. They’re monitored by 24/7 CCTV and built with motion sensors, tamper alerts, and automated notifications. If anything unusual happens, customers and staff are instantly informed. It’s secure, intelligent, and designed to protect what matters.

And then there’s the little things—the kind most people won’t notice but that make a huge difference. Locked offers automated billing and receipts, an online dashboard to manage your unit, in-app support, and reminders when your rent is due or your direct debit needs updating. She’s not just about putting stuff away; she’s about making storage frictionless.

She’s not like us, and that’s what makes it work. Where we focus on drive-up access, hands-on convenience, and local familiarity, Locked is building a seamless, software-led experience designed for modern life. We’re drive-up and ready when you are. She’s digital and always on. Together, we cover the full spectrum of self-storage, and we’re proud to call her our sister.

So, instead of choosing one over the other, our parents made a bold call: run both.

Now, Boxxs and Locked operate as sister sites, each with its own personality. Boxxs is practical, grounded, and built for convenience. Locked is automated, indoor, and built for the future. Together, we’re creating a platform that gives customers the right kind of storage, in the right way, at the right time.
