Usps master lock key how to#

I doubt they are responsible for replacing anyone's individual box locks. They only have the master key to open the full set of mailboxes. (not answering? don't return messages? What?) Again, the PO does not have individual keys for the banks of mailboxes. You were not real clear on what is happening when you do try to contact the PO.

If it is your own home then all you can do is continue to try contacting the PO to ask them how to get the box open so you can take the old lock out and purchase a new lock and key. They only have their one master key that opens the whole banked unit. You will have to ask them to replace a lock that already comes with 2 sets of keys. If you lost the key, the USPS office can’t give you a copy of the lost key since they don’t have it from the beginning. They have a key for a whole door panel that has access to dozens of small cells. In Milwaukee, three letter carriers have been robbed this year. No, USPS doesn’t have a key for your particular mailbox. The PO does not have nor do they supply individual mailbox keys. USPS said it will also replace 49,000 'arrow key' locks with electronic locks in select cities. I have no idea how you will get your mailbox open to get the lock out to purchase another lock and key(s). If you were supplied a key and then lost it/them then the lock replacement is your responsibility. If the LL doesn't have a key then they need to get the box open somehow and pay to replace the lock and provide you with keys IF they never supplied you one. Not great at all, said Todd, a homeowner, whose mail was stolen. By using stolen USPS master keys also called arrow or universal keys crooks are able to unlock multiple mailboxes at once. If this is a rental home then your LL should be providing you a key. In one southwest Austin community, surveillance video captured criminals stealing mail with ease.

Who had the same situation and can advise? Thanks!

What is the best and cheapest way to get a key for the cluster mailbox? At our new home we have a cluster mailbox a few houses down on the other street side of our home.
