Replacement cylinders and mailboxes that will not open.
Before we touch the lock, you know what it will cost.
Call if you need someone right now. Otherwise send this and we will contact you back.
Mailbox cylinders are small, they corrode, and in San Francisco buildings they are often older than the tenants. Mail theft is also a real problem here, which makes a failed mailbox lock worth fixing quickly.
This decides who can change it. A mailbox panel owned by the building, like the boxes in many apartment lobbies, can be rekeyed or replaced by a locksmith. The free standing cluster boxes on the street are usually the Postal Service's, and their locks are handled by the Post Office.
When a tenant moves out, the unit door usually gets attention and the mailbox gets forgotten.
The key turns only part of the way, the door of the box springs open on its own, or the lock spins without catching. Mailbox cylinders are small and exposed to the weather, and once they start slipping they rarely recover.
Yes. We open the box and fit a new cylinder with new keys.
No. Some mailboxes, mostly the free standing cluster units, belong to the Postal Service, and on those the lock is the Post Office's job. We ask a couple of questions on the phone to work out which one you have.
Yes. Several units in one visit is a normal job for us.
One number, answered around the clock, in English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. Not urgent? Pick the time. Same day, later in the week or on the weekend, whatever works for you.
