Reasons You May Need a Duplicate Key

Here are some of the most common reasons customers in League City call us for duplicate mailbox keys:

• You want a backup key in case of emergency
• You're sharing the mailbox with family or roommates
• You’re managing a rental property or commercial unit
• You want to avoid being locked out

With so many reasons to duplicate your mailbox key, it's best to act before the original is lost. We also recommend considering secure lock upgrades at the same time.

Types of Mailbox Keys

Mailbox keys vary based on the mailbox type and whether it is managed privately or by a federal or housing authority. We duplicate:

• USPS Arrow Keys: Only duplicated by USPS—if lost, you'll need a lock change.
• Private Box Keys: Often found in residential mailboxes. We duplicate most standard models.
• HOA-Managed Cluster Boxes: HOA may provide original, but we offer replacements and lock swaps if needed.
• Apartment Mailbox Keys: Common in vertical or wall-mounted styles—easy to duplicate when permitted.

If you're unsure which type you have, our technicians will identify it during the visit.

Can You Duplicate Your Existing Mailbox Key?

Most privately issued mailbox keys can be duplicated without issue. We carry blank keys for common locks used by manufacturers like Florence, Salsbury, and Mail Boss. However, if the key is marked “Do Not Duplicate” or managed by USPS, duplication may not be legal or possible.

We advise you to contact us so we can check your specific key and provide the right solution, which may include a lock change.

What to Do If You Lost the Original Key

If you’ve lost your only mailbox key, we can help. Our team can either create a key by code (if the lock is accessible and marked), or we can remove and replace the mailbox lock completely. If your mailbox is managed by an HOA or USPS, you may need to notify them before we proceed.

Costs of Mailbox Key Duplication

Pricing depends on the mailbox key type, duplication method, and whether a lock change is needed. Here's a breakdown of estimated costs:

All pricing is approximate. Your technician will provide a final quote before beginning any work.

Legal Considerations and Key Ownership Rights

Mailbox keys are often considered federal or property-specific items. If you live in a managed community or your mailbox is part of a centralized unit, duplication may require approval from a property manager or HOA. USPS keys cannot be duplicated under federal law.

We always verify legal authority before duplicating. When in doubt, we’ll offer a lock replacement solution instead. For more info, read our article on mail theft and identity fraud prevention.
