There are many everyday situations where having an extra mailbox key is extremely helpful. Maybe your spouse or roommate needs access while you're away. Perhaps you’re renting out a property or managing units where each tenant needs their own key.
Duplicate keys are also important for personal backup. If you misplace your main key, you’ll avoid lockouts and the cost of a full mailbox lock replacement. Many customers also choose to give a copy to a trusted neighbor, friend, or caregiver for mail pickup during vacations.
Businesses and property managers often need several copies for mailboxes used by staff or tenants. Whatever the reason, our team in Spring can cut keys that match the lock precisely and reliably.
Mailbox keys fall into a few main categories. First are USPS-approved cluster or apartment mailbox keys. These are typically issued by the USPS or property managers and may include restrictions on duplication. Second are keys for post-mounted private mailboxes or wall-mounted mailboxes, which are easier to duplicate without ownership concerns.
Then there are HOA-managed cluster boxes, where duplication may require showing proof of residency. Lastly, commercial mailbox setups or claster-style mail stations use universal or specialized key types. We carry blanks and tools for nearly all styles found in the Spring, TX area.
In most cases, yes. If you have a standard cam lock key (commonly labeled with codes like CH751 or A152), we can duplicate it quickly. These keys are typically used in private or HOA mailboxes.
USPS-issued mailbox keys, on the other hand, cannot be copied by locksmiths. For these, you’ll need to request replacements directly from your local post office. If you’re unsure which type you have, our technicians can check and advise on the spot.
If you’ve lost your only mailbox key, don’t worry—our team can help. We’ll send a locksmith to your location to assess the lock type and, if allowed, rekey or replace the lock. You’ll then receive new keys for immediate use.
This is especially important if your lost key was labeled or stored insecurely. In cases where mail theft is a concern, consider both rekeying and upgrading to a more secure lock. We can also advise on steps to protect yourself from mail theft in the future.
Mailbox key duplication is one of the most affordable locksmith services. Standard key copies usually cost between $10–$15 per key, depending on the key type and quantity needed. Discounts are available for bulk orders by property managers or businesses.
If you’ve lost all keys, full lock replacement may cost more, especially if the lock needs to be drilled or is in a cluster mailbox unit. Our pricing is always transparent, and you’ll get a final quote before any work begins.
Before duplicating a mailbox key, it’s important to know whether you’re legally allowed to do so. USPS-owned mailboxes are federal property, and keys for those units must be issued by the post office only.
For privately owned mailboxes, HOA units, or rentals, we can typically duplicate keys with proof of access or residency. If you’re a tenant, check with your landlord or property manager first. Our locksmiths always verify your right to service the box before proceeding, keeping your community secure and your rights protected.
