There are plenty of good reasons to have an extra mailbox key. The most common is avoiding future lockouts—one lost key and you're cut off from bills, packages, or important documents. A duplicate key gives peace of mind.
If you share your mailbox with roommates, spouses, or employees, having multiple keys makes everyday life easier. Apartment managers and landlords often request extras to avoid issues when tenants move in or out. HOA members may want a backup in case of emergency access.
We also recommend duplicates if your original key is worn, bent, or hard to turn. That’s usually a sign it’s time for a backup—and maybe a new lock entirely. (If so, check our Mailbox lock replacement options.)
Mailbox keys come in a few varieties, and knowing which kind you have helps determine duplication options:
Still unsure? We can identify your key type on-site and provide the right solution.
In most cases, yes. Standard mailbox keys can be copied easily with the right blank and key cutting machine. However, some USPS or high-security keys may be restricted by federal law or require proof of ownership.
As licensed locksmiths in Mission Bend, we follow all local and federal guidelines to ensure legal duplication. If your key has a stamped “Do Not Duplicate” notice, we may need documentation or offer a lock replacement instead.
We carry dozens of key blanks and match yours to the correct one on the spot. Our duplication process is quick and accurate—usually under 10 minutes.
If you've lost your only mailbox key, don't worry—we can still help. Here's what to do:
New locks come with two fresh keys, and we can also create spares while we’re there. This is the most secure way to regain access and protect your mail from misuse.
Our pricing is fair and transparent. Here’s a general breakdown:
We offer on-the-spot estimates before starting any work. Pricing depends on key type and mailbox lock complexity. Most duplicates are done in minutes while you wait.
It’s important to know who owns your mailbox before duplicating a key. For personal, freestanding mailboxes, the homeowner usually owns both the box and key. In that case, you’re free to duplicate as needed.
For apartment buildings, cluster mailboxes, or HOA-managed communities, the key may be considered government property—especially if USPS services it directly. In these cases, you may need permission from your landlord or association to duplicate the key.
Our team follows USPS guidelines and never copies a restricted key without proper authorization. If you're unsure of the rules, we’ll help walk you through options or offer lock change services with new keys.
Most keys can be duplicated in under 10 minutes if the original is present and undamaged.
We follow legal guidelines. You may need to show proof of ownership or choose a lock change instead.
If the key is missing, we’ll unlock your mailbox and replace the lock with new keys provided.
Nope—we’re a mobile service. We come to your location anywhere in or near Mission Bend.
We can, with permission. For shared or regulated boxes, we may need documentation or board approval.
USPS box keys are federally protected. Duplication may not be legal. Ask us about lock replacement options.
Duplicating is almost always cheaper, but if the key is lost or the lock is faulty, replacement is the way to go.
