About the service
Professional Mailbox Lock Change in Hidden Hills
Hidden Hills is its own world: one guarded entrance off the 101, private roads, big horse-property lots, and most homes with their own freestanding mailbox at the end of a long drive rather than a curbside box. That setup is great until the only key walks off with a former housekeeper, a grown kid who moved out, or the previous owner at closing. Then you've got mail sitting in a box you can't open.
Most calls we get here are simple in theory and annoying in practice. The lock is fine; the key is just gone, or you inherited a box with no key at all. We change the cylinder or rekey it on site so the box works again and no leftover copies still open it. No hauling the post to a hardware store.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Hidden Hills
First thing we do is look at what you actually have. A private estate mailbox at the foot of the drive is ours to change outright; we swap or rekey the cylinder and hand you fresh keys. A USPS cluster unit, the kind some of the newer or denser pockets near the perimeter use, is a different animal. By postal rule those locks belong to USPS, not to you or to us, so a lock change there runs through the Post Office, not a locksmith. We'll tell you straight which one you've got and point you the right way if it's a cluster box.
For everything else, expect a quick job. We pick or drill open if needed, fit a new cylinder, cut keys on the spot, and test it. Because there's one gate in, give the guard your name ahead of time so we're not stuck outside.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you rekey my mailbox instead of replacing the whole lock?
If it's your own estate mailbox and the lock body is in good shape, yes, rekeying is often the cleaner option, especially after a tenant or staff change when you just want old keys dead. If the cylinder is worn, rusted, or jammed, we'll swap it instead. We make that call once we see the box at your place in Hidden Hills.
Why can't you just change the lock on my cluster box?
USPS owns the locks on cluster and gang mailbox units, even though the box sits on your side of the gate. By postal rule, only the Post Office can issue or change those locks. We can confirm whether yours is a cluster unit, but the actual lock change has to be requested through USPS, not a locksmith.
I just moved into a house here and got no mailbox key. What now?
Common at closing, the prior owner kept or lost the only key. If it's your own box we change the cylinder and give you a brand-new set, so it doesn't matter that the old key is missing. If it's a USPS cluster unit, you request the key change through the Post Office with proof you live there.
My spouse and I both need a key, can you do two?
Yes. When we rekey or replace your own mailbox lock we cut as many working keys as you want, so each of you carries one. If you'd rather, keep one as a spare in the house. For cluster boxes the number of keys is set by USPS, not by us.
