Mailbox locks for homes and small buildings
Lost mailbox keys are a common call. For a mailbox you own, such as a wall-mounted or post-mounted box at a house or a small building's cluster box, a locksmith can open it, replace the lock cylinder and cut new keys.
Locks on post office boxes at a post office belong to the USPS, so for those you need to contact the post office directly. For cluster mailboxes at apartments or condos, check with the property manager or HOA first: some are owned by the property and some by the Postal Service, and only the owner can authorize a lock change.
Wall-mounted and post-mounted mailboxes use small cam locks that wear out or get forced by mail thieves. Replacing the lock with a sturdier cam lock, or upgrading to a locking mailbox with a tamper-resistant door, makes it harder to fish mail out. If your mailbox was broken into, report it to the USPS Postal Inspection Service as well as the police, and keep the damaged lock until the report is complete. We can usually replace a mailbox lock and cut two new keys in one short visit.
