Post office boxes
Locks on post office boxes belong to the U.S. Postal Service. If you lose a P.O. box key, the post office replaces the key or lock for a fee; an outside locksmith should not open or change it.
Many people who rent a P.O. box also have a cluster mailbox at home. Those are a different story.
Cluster and curbside mailboxes
Neighbourhood cluster boxes in Glendale usually have a tenant lock on each door that the homeowner, landlord or HOA is responsible for. Lost keys, broken locks and pried doors are common calls. With proof of address, a locksmith can open the door and fit a new mailbox lock with fresh keys.
Rural-style curbside boxes can take a locking insert. It is a simple way to keep mail theft down on streets with long driveways.
Before you call
Mail theft from neighbourhood boxes tends to come in waves, and a pried door is often the first sign. If yours has been forced, report it to the post office and the police, then have the door lock replaced. Ask your HOA or landlord who owns the cluster box before booking, because some communities handle it centrally.

Questions from 85311
Can a locksmith replace my P.O. box lock?
No. P.O. box locks are Postal Service property; the post office handles lost keys and lock changes.
Who is responsible for my cluster mailbox lock?
Usually the homeowner or landlord for the individual door. The parcel lockers and master door belong to the Postal Service.
What do I need for a mailbox lock change?
ID and something showing the address, such as a utility bill or lease, so the locksmith knows the box is yours.
Can you rekey my mailbox to match my house key?
Generally no. Mailbox locks use small cam locks with their own key types, so they are replaced rather than keyed to match a front door.
What if my HOA manages the cluster mailbox?
Then the HOA or its management company usually arranges the lock change. Ask them first; if they let owners handle their own door, a locksmith can replace it with your proof of address.
