I need to remove the lock on the door to my mailbox condo unit the key does not go all the way in so now I need to take the lock out and replace it. We own the home and the home assoc. say we have to do the work ourselves. I don’t have access to the backside. What is the best way to repair this?

My canada post mail box is exposed to the elements and every winter the pad lock freezes up.
Keep a little bottle of lock de-icer with you, the kind they sell for cars, and you can put a plastic bag over the lock too since the postie doesn’t need to use your lock. Heating the key or the lock with a lighter works though it doesn’t help the lock stay dry for the next time. Silicone spray is better than WD40 for locks, and graphite powder is great stuff to use once in a while. You can buy fairly weatherproof locks, too. I had one from Lee Valley which was fine for about a year on my mailbox. Until I lost the key and had to pry it open, but that’s another story.

Assuming there are 3 digits try both these ways.
1. Turn the dial left at least 2 turns and stop at the first number.
2. Turn the dial right and pass the first number and stop at the second number.
3. Turn the dial left and stop at the third number.

You could hire a locksmith to drill out the lock and put in a replacement one.
You could also call the companies who send you bills and ask them to let you pay over the phone or to send them a check for the amount owed. Those both solve your problem.
You could also talk to the mailman, show him some id, and ask for your mail.
The MailCase is the most advanced locking mailbox ever built.

yes, check the lease carefully
i would get a po box, if the landlord has access to mailboxes.

We worked hard on this campaign, and had the time of our lives doing it.

I reported my mail stolen to the sheriff’s Dept. and the postal service. A package stolen from my mailbox was found open and empty at the end of the road. I alerted several neighbors & the same suspects’ descriptions kept surfacing. One was even seen walking down the street in the past with an armful of mail, opening and tossing it on the side of the road! The responding deputy said that they cannot just knock on this kid’s door; that would be harrassment. Ha. The postal deliverer and the local P.O. both say it is out of their hands once delivered. When I challenged them, asking why they didn’t encourage victims to fill out a detailed report for postal inspection, the response was less than favorable. It is a case for neighborhood watch at this point. Everyone says install a surveillance camera. Get real people. Think of the logistics. It would have to be a pretty sophisticated operation in order not to devote my days to it! A locking box or PO box is the answer. And a rigged package.
I have never so much as looked cross-eyed at anyone in my neighborhood. I was not individually targeted. The mail was taken from boxes all down my street and an adjacent neighborhood that day. There are specific teen-aged people who have been seen tampering with boxes in the past. One was seen ripping open mail and discarding on the side of the road. I was a tad dismayed when one answerer assumed that I was to blame for this situation. I certainly don’t deserve to be called the insulting names he put in his answer.
I spoke to the postal delivery woman already about leaving a slip for a package from now on. There are no boxes available at my P.O. currently, but we have researched locking mailboxes. I had much better luck with the inspection office, than calling 1800ASKUSPS. If this happens to you, call 1-877-876-2455 (postal inspector). There is also a form online at www.USPS.com/postalinspectors. Now with a little good karma, I’m hoping that the items in the package from my mom will show up!
Forget the knuckleheads working behind the desk at the Post Office. They are typical, lazy, unionized civil servants. Practically worthless.
You need to get in touch with the Postal Police. These are the law enforcement professionals who deal with such crimes. Interfering with postal service is a felony in many cases.
