Can i replace the mail box lock?

That would be a question best directed to the manufacturer. It seems to be a simple lock that would be easily replaced or re-keyed, but I've never tried it, so cannot say for sure.

Yes. I took the mail box to my local locksmith, and he replaced the lock with a combination lock in about ten minutes. It cost about $10 + the price of the combination lock.Hope this helps you!

Last answer is best choice. Drilling can be tricky perhaps 3/16 bit, but eventually you will be able to turn core with slotted screw driver. Remove nut / clip securing the lock and bring to hardware store for replacement. I here, because of mail thief in our neighborhood, I know you can pry this box open with large screw driver, and the only damage that occurs was the lock back cam bends, removed and bent cam back place and all was fine. Just a option to drilling. I bought the mail boss box, for its anti pry design.

Yes, the box has a key lock on one side. The hardware that attaches the box to the rail is inside the box, so as long as it is locked the box can't be removed.

This mailbox does Not lock. It has magnets where it shuts securely on both sides, but no locks.

Look and see if there is a number on the lock. If there is, call the manufacturer and give them the number. Maybe they can send you a replacement set. Make a spare and keep it in a safe place, just in case. Otherwise you may need a locksmith. Kind of pricey, but not as pricey as a new mailbox.

A locksmith can probably do that. I think it uses a Schlage style key blank if I recall. I would not attempt it yourself.

Not too sure. However I would contact the manufacturer directly. ..they may be able to help you. Or maybe replace the lock and you will receive a new key with the new lock.

Mail can only be accessed from the rear locked door. BTW, we love our box. It holds a lot of mail.

The mailbox does lock. You can see the locking mechanism once you open the top of the mailbox. It's a plate that lays over the opening - and the key allows you to lift it up to access the full mailbox. The locking feature is great - I did not think I would like it, but I do. You also have the option to remove the locking feature, which is nice. I've kept mine because it's easy to use - and I like the fact that my mail is more secure.

It's a little difficult to answer without having it in my hands but from experience these things get worn to the point that they have gotten thinner and the screw is designed to only tighten just so far. You might have to replace the lock and/or the screw. Felco's are great in that you can buy the replacement parts in an individual package. I think there is one package with just the screw and the lock you need. I would replace both and you should be good to go. You can go on line or to the place you bought them from and find the parts. I think you'll be fine then.

It does not lock the whole box. Also, within days the little plaque that covers the lock fell off.

I concur that you have to have it done locally by locksmith after they arrive. I don't think big box (Lowe's, HD) will do it unless you have purchased it there. And even then I believe they will only commit to rekeying with Kwikset's "smart key system."

I purchased this mailbox because I had some mail stolen. I keep my box locked. However if you don't have a problem with mail thief you can leave it unlocked. The door is fairly snug and will stay closed.

The door at top does not have a key. Remove the floor of the top part and mail drops all the way to bottom making it unable to reach. There is a lock to the bottom section of the box where your mail is now stored that makes it secure and can hold many days of mail. I really like mine.

You can get a key made at any hardware store. As for your postman that would be a question for the usps. Call up your local post office and ask them. Some might but others will not. There is however a spot for outgoing mail that's just a standard. It's a clip on the door outside of the locking box.

You would need to have a locksmith rekey the lock. It cannot be rekeyed with a master key.
