About the service
Professional Mailbox Lock Change in North Hollywood
Most of the mailbox calls we get in North Hollywood come from the same place: a tenant who just signed a lease in one of the older stucco fourplexes off the side streets near the Arts District, and the previous renter never left a key. Or a couple who's been here for years and finally lost the only little brass key down a drain. The mailboxes here are usually a wall-mounted gang of small doors, the kind a landlord installed decades ago, with a worn cam lock that barely turns anymore.
That setup matters, because a NoHo mailbox is rarely a standalone box you own outright. It's one cell in a shared bank, sometimes USPS-controlled at the curb, sometimes building-owned in the lobby. We sort out which kind you've got before we touch anything, so you're not paying for the wrong fix.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in North Hollywood
When we arrive, the first thing we check is whether your box is private (building or your own) or part of a USPS cluster unit. For private boxes and building-owned banks, we can pop the door, swap the cam lock, and cut you a fresh pair of keys right there at the curb. A standard small mailbox lock takes us about fifteen to twenty minutes once we're in front of it. A whole gang box with a stuck or seized lock can run longer if the door has to be drilled and the cam replaced.
USPS-controlled boxes are different. For curbside cluster boxes the Postal Service owns, the post office has to issue keys, so we'll tell you straight if that's your situation rather than charge you for work we can't legally do. We run 24/7 across the Valley, so a 6 a.m. or late-night call is fine.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you rekey my mailbox instead of replacing the whole thing?
Usually, yes, on a private or building-owned box. Most apartment mailbox doors here use a small cam lock that we can pull and swap, or rekey, without replacing the door itself. If the lock is rusted or seized, which happens on the older NoHo banks, we may have to drill the cam and fit a new mechanism, but the door stays.
My building has a curbside cluster box. Can you change that lock?
If it's a USPS-owned cluster box at the curb, no, and we won't pretend otherwise. The Postal Service controls those locks and keys, so you'd request a replacement through your local post office. If the cluster bank is building-owned and inside the lobby, that's a different story and we can handle it.
I just moved into a North Hollywood rental with no mailbox key. What now?
Tenant turnover is one of the most common reasons we get called here. If it's a building-owned box, we can rekey it and cut you a new set the same day. Just check first whether your landlord wants to authorize the change, since it's their lockable hardware on a shared mailbox bank.
Can you make two keys so my partner and I each have one?
Yes. When we rekey or swap your mailbox lock we cut keys on site, so tell us the number you want. Two for a couple is the usual ask, and we'll test each one in the door before we pack up.
