Private boxes versus USPS boxes

Locks on privately owned or HOA-owned mailboxes can be changed by a locksmith. Cluster boxes owned by the U.S. Postal Service are serviced only through your local post office, so start there for those units.

Replacing the cam lock

Most residential mailboxes use a small cam lock that swaps out quickly, and the locksmith supplies fresh keys. If the old key is simply lost, replacing the cam lock restores secure access.
