First, avoid trying to force the lock open with tools. This often causes damage that makes replacement more expensive. Instead, call our team for non-destructive access. We’ll open the mailbox professionally and either rekey or replace the lock based on your setup.
If you have a shared mailbox unit, contact your property manager first to confirm any authorization or coordination needs. Once approved, we’ll come out and change the tenant lock. We also offer on-site key duplication for backup keys, so you’re never locked out again.
