Lost Mailbox Keys
If you lost your only key, we don’t need the original to fix it. We will safely drill out the old lock cylinder, open the door, and install a brand new lock mechanism with a fresh set of keys.
Cluster Box Units (CBU)
We specialize in replacing individual tenant locks on neighborhood Cluster Box Units (the large metal mailboxes shared by multiple homes). We ensure the new cam and tailpiece fit perfectly.
New Move-In Rekeying
Just bought a house or condo? You never know who still has a copy of your mailbox key. We highly recommend replacing the lock immediately to protect against mail theft and identity fraud.
Broken Key Extraction
Mailbox keys are small and often made of soft brass. If your key snapped off inside the lock, don’t try to force it out. We can extract the broken piece or replace the entire lock if it is damaged.
Commercial Mailboxes
We replace locks for high-security commercial mailboxes in office buildings, apartment complexes, and business parks, keeping your sensitive corporate documents safe.
Sticking & Rusted Locks
Arizona dust and monsoon moisture can cause outdoor mailbox locks to seize up or rust completely. We swap out corroded hardware with smooth, weather-resistant replacements.

Skip the Post Office Wait
Dealing with a locked mailbox can be incredibly frustrating. Here is why Phoenix residents choose Picky Locksmith to solve the problem immediately:
- No Weeks of Waiting: If you ask the USPS to change your lock, it can take 1 to 3 weeks, during which your mail is held at the post office. We do it the exact same day.
- The Perfect Fit: Mailbox locks use dozens of different tailpieces and cams. If you buy the wrong one at a hardware store, your door won’t latch securely. We carry all the correct OEM parts.
- Damage-Free Entry: Prying your mailbox open with a screwdriver will bend the door, and the USPS will force you to pay for a whole new door assembly. We use precision tools.
- Protect Your Identity: Mail theft is a primary cause of identity fraud. We restore your security instantly.

Mailbox Lock FAQs
Am I allowed to hire a locksmith, or do I have to use USPS?
In almost all HOA communities and residential subdivisions, the individual resident is responsible for the lock on their specific mailbox door. You are legally allowed to hire a private locksmith to replace it. The USPS is only responsible for the large “Master Door” that opens the entire unit for the mail carrier.
Can you just make a new key for my existing lock?
Usually, no. Mailbox locks are simple, mass-produced cam locks. It is actually much faster, cheaper, and more secure to drill out the old lock and install a brand new one than it is to try and pick it, decode it, and cut a key from scratch.
Do I need permission from my HOA or Landlord?
If you own the home, you do not need permission to change your lock. If you are renting a house or an apartment, you should absolutely check with your landlord or property management first, as they may require a copy of the new key or have a preferred vendor.
How long does it take to change a mailbox lock?
Once our technician arrives at your community mailbox, the process is very fast. We can typically drill the old lock, remove the clip, and install the new mechanism in about 10 to 15 minutes.
