Signs Your Mailbox Lock Needs Replacing

Not sure if it’s time to swap your lock? Here are some common signs that your mailbox lock may be past its prime:

• Difficulty turning the key: Grinding or stiffness can indicate internal wear.
• Rust or corrosion: Outdoor exposure wears out metal quickly.
• Key won’t fully insert or remove: This may be caused by dirt buildup or internal misalignment.
• Key broke off in lock: A clear sign the lock is binding or weakened.
• Lost or stolen keys: For safety, replacing the lock is always better than guessing who might have a copy.

If you’re experiencing any of the above, contact our Mission Bend locksmiths to restore proper access to your mailbox.
