Have you misplaced the keys to your apartment mailbox? Did the previous owner not return them? Did your dog swallow the keys? Whatever the case may be, you have found yourself in need of new apartment mailbox keys and you may not be sure how to go about it. Well here is a step-by-step explanation of the process of getting new keys!
A Whole New Cylinder
Firstly, new keys can not be cut for mailboxes. You will need to have the whole cylinder replaced. No need to worry, this isn’t a big deal! New mailbox cylinders are very affordable and your local locksmith should be able to do it!
What About The Postman?
One of the biggest questions we get asked when people are inquiring about a new mailbox cylinder is how the postman will get into their box. What if they only have the previous key and I am never able to get my mail again? Not no need to worry about that either! The postman doesn’t have time to individually open each mailbox in a complex. Also, imagine all the keys they would have to keep up with if they did that! The postman has a key to a panel that opens all the mailboxes at once so he can quickly and more efficiently put the mail in.
How Many Keys Do I Get?
