It’s more common than you think—mailbox locks fail, keys break, and mechanisms jam, especially in Texas heat and humidity. Some customers call us for a simple fix but end up needing full mailbox lock replacement. Others discover their keys no longer turn because of internal rust or tampering.
Whether your box is wall-mounted, curbside, or part of a cluster system, mechanical failure can disrupt mail delivery or expose your private information.
We get it—DIY seems tempting. But trying to fix a mailbox lock without the right tools or knowledge can damage the box or make it non-compliant with USPS regulations. We've seen everything from super-glued keyholes to broken cams inside lock cylinders. Don't risk it.
Instead, our team offers fast, professional repairs and installs for everything from standalone post-mount mailboxes to secure cluster units.
If your mailbox lock is showing signs of wear, don’t wait until you’re locked out. A faulty lock is a top target for thieves—and once they gain access, they can intercept sensitive documents and personal data.
Our licensed team performs secure and fast replacements, backed by a 6-month warranty. Visit our page on cluster mailbox service options if you live in a shared housing unit or community.
Your mailbox setup depends on location, security needs, and personal style. We install wall-mounted units for compact spaces, and post-mounted boxes for drive-up convenience. Both can be fitted with durable locks in chrome, black, or brass finishes.
Whether you’re upgrading an old unit or adding a lock to a decorative box, our team helps choose what’s right for your home and lifestyle.
Mail theft is an increasing problem in suburban and rural communities. We urge residents to read our guide on how to protect your mail from theft. Key tips include checking your mail daily, not leaving packages overnight, and upgrading your locks regularly.
Lost your keys? Our key duplication service can create fast copies. If you suspect fraud or theft, read about identity and check fraud through stolen mail and call us right away.
