Mailbox Lock Replacement Done Right the First Time
A lost mailbox key means bills, checks and packages you cannot reach. Alameda Locksmiths replaces mailbox locks on wall mounted boxes, pedestal boxes, apartment mail panels and private cluster boxes throughout Alameda and provides new keys on the spot.
For privately owned mailboxes we open the compartment, remove the old lock and install a new cam lock with fresh keys, usually within a few minutes. For cluster boxes owned by the postal service we explain the process and help with the parts the resident is responsible for. Many customers combine this with our Sliding Door Locks service and our Deadbolt Installation service.
Landlords and HOAs call us to rekey mailboxes between tenants and to standardize lock types across a building so replacement parts are always available.
