Have questions about storing at Cardinal State Storage Lenoir 321? Here are answers to the most common ones. Call (828) 754-1981 if you don't see your question.
We offer 5x10, 10x10, 10x15, 10x20, 10x30, and extra-large 14x50 units — useful for full vehicle storage, RVs, boats, or contractor garage and flex space. The 14x50 is a much harder size to find in the Lenoir area, and it's the right choice if you want to protect a higher-end RV or boat indoors year-round. Outdoor parking is also available.
Our gate is open 7 AM to 9 PM every day, seven days a week. Your unique gate code lets you in and out anytime within those hours.
The fastest way is online at our Rent Now page — pick a unit, sign electronically, pay, and get your gate code immediately. To rent over the phone, call (828) 754-1981.
No. All units rent month-to-month. You give a 30-day notice when you're ready to move out — no early termination fees.
No security deposit. You pay your first month's rent and any applicable admin fee at signup.
All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) and debit cards. Most customers set up automatic monthly billing. Cash and check payments can be arranged with the office in advance — call ahead.
Yes. We offer outdoor parking pads sized for boats, RVs, jet skis, motorcycles, trailers, and vehicles. Our 14x50 indoor units also accommodate full RVs and large vehicles indoors — protecting them from sun and weather year-round. Direct access from US-321 makes our Lenoir 321 location particularly convenient.
Yes — we work with contractors, tradespeople, landscapers, and small businesses needing contractor garage and flex space. The larger units (10x20 through 14x50) work well as a small commercial bay at a fraction of typical lease costs.
We require a disc lock — padlocks aren't accepted because they're easier to cut. You can pick up a quality disc lock for around $15-$20 at any local hardware retailer: Lowe's, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Walmart, or Tractor Supply. You're the only one with the key — we don't keep copies.
You can reserve and rent a unit online from anywhere before you arrive, get the gate code in advance, and pull straight in when your moving truck shows up. Month-to-month means you keep the unit as long as you need.
Rent is due on the first of each month. You'll get reminder messages by email and text if a payment is missed. Late fees apply per our rental agreement. If a unit becomes delinquent for an extended period, North Carolina self-storage law allows the facility to auction the contents — we work hard to reach customers before that. Call us anytime if you're in a tough month.
