MAILBOX LOCKS DC

The Importance of a Secure Mailbox Lock

A mailbox lock is a small but critical security feature. Whether you live in a condo, apartment complex, or own a private home with a curbside mailbox, ensuring your mailbox lock is intact is vital. A broken or faulty mailbox lock can result in lost mail, missed bills, or worse—exposure of personal information.

In densely populated areas like Washington, DC, mailboxes are often targeted for theft. Our mailbox lock change and rekeying services ensure that once compromised, your mailbox security is quickly restored. We specialize in USPS-approved mailbox lock systems and custom solutions for both residential and commercial mailbox units.

Rekeying Mailbox Locks – When to Consider It

Rekeying a mailbox lock is an alternative to full replacement, especially useful when:
