About the service
Professional Mailbox Lock Change in Sherman Oaks
Most of the mailbox calls we take in Sherman Oaks come from the condo and apartment buildings packed in south of the 101, where the mail lives in a gang of locked compartments instead of a slot by the front door. Somebody loses the little key, a tenant moves out and never hands theirs back, or a couple wants a second key so both of them can grab the mail. Those are the everyday ones, and they all have a fix.
Then there are the older single-family streets up toward the hills, where a curbside box or a wall-mounted private box has a worn cam lock that finally gave up. Whether it's a private box you own or a cluster unit, we sort out who actually controls the lock before we touch anything, then change or rekey it cleanly. No drilling a perfectly good box when a key cut will do.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Sherman Oaks
First question on the phone is always the same: is this a private mailbox you own, or one of the locked USPS cluster boxes (the green or beige banks of compartments)? It matters, because the Postal Service controls the locks on their cluster and parcel units, and only the post office can issue or change those keys. If that's your situation, we'll tell you straight and point you to the right Form 1094 process instead of charging you to stand there.
For a private box, a building's own internal mailbox, or any lock the property controls, we handle it on the spot. We pull the cam lock, rekey or replace it, and cut you the number of keys you need, two for a couple, more for a household. Most jobs around Sherman Oaks run twenty to forty minutes once we're parked. We work the area daily, so a same-day window between the 405 and Coldwater is usually easy.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you rekey my mailbox instead of replacing it?
Usually, yes. If the cam lock on a private or building-controlled box is in good shape, we rekey it so the old key dies and you get fresh ones. We only replace the whole lock when the mechanism is worn out or seized, which we see on some of the older curbside boxes on the Sherman Oaks hill streets.
I have a USPS cluster box and lost the key. Can you help?
Honestly, the cluster boxes and parcel lockers in the condo developments south of the 101 are controlled by the Postal Service, not by us. New keys or lock changes on those go through your local post office (Form 1094). We'll confirm it's a USPS unit and steer you the right way rather than charge for a lock we legally can't touch.
I just moved into a Sherman Oaks unit and got no mailbox key.
Common with turnover here. If it's a private box or one the building manages, we can rekey it same-day so the previous tenant's key is dead and you have working ones. If it turns out to be a USPS cluster compartment, you'll request the key through the post office, and we'll tell you which it is when we look.
Can you cut two keys so my partner and I each have one?
Of course. For couples that's the standard ask, and we cut two matched keys on the spot. Sharing a unit with roommates or running a rental? Tell us how many you need and we'll set you up while we're there.
