Lost mailbox key? Here is how it works

Individual compartment locks in apartment mail banks and many cluster boxes are customer-side locks. A locksmith can drill out the old one and fit a new lock with fresh keys. The parcel lockers and the master door belong to the Postal Service, so those stay off limits.

Bring proof of residence. A lease, a utility bill or ID with the address keeps the job above board, and the locksmith will ask. Property managers who need a whole bank of compartment locks changed can book them in one visit.

Business mail rooms and office doors

Offices that receive heavy mail often have a small mail room with a door, a drop slot and a cabinet. Each lock can be keyed separately, or put on a master system so the office manager carries one key and each staff member carries one.

Common jobs in 92803

• Mailbox compartment. Old lock out, new lock in, two keys handed over, once residence is confirmed.
• Mail room door. A keyed lever or deadbolt with keys limited to the people who sort the mail.
• Office lockout. Front office doors opened and checked so the lock still works afterwards.
• Key copies. Spare keys cut for standard house and office locks, with restricted blanks where available.

Spare keys and who holds them

Mail keys get lost because they are small and rarely used. Keep the spare on the same ring as your house key, or with a trusted neighbour, not on the hook by the door. If several people in a household collect the mail, get one copy each when the new lock goes in. For office mail rooms, write down who holds which key; that simple list saves a full lock change when someone leaves the company.
