When thinking about locks, many will consider doors, safes, and vehicles, but one essential item in a household is very often overlooked. That would be the mailbox lock. The purpose of a mailbox lock is to protect the unit from both theft and vandalism.
King Locksmith offers Postal Service-approved mailbox locks to prevent such events.
Why should I care about mail theft?
While you may be inundated with junk mail, as most have eschewed physical mail for email and other digital spaces when it comes to important documents, items such as mail from the government and often banks and credit card companies will be sent physically.
If these items were to be stolen, crucial information such as your social security number, bank account number, name and address would be compromised. This leads to identity theft, which has cost the United States 58 million in 2021 alone.
Mailbox Locks and their Various Types
As there are many types of mailboxes, there are also many types of mailbox locks. Each of them meets the standard set by the United States Postal Services (USPS) back in 2006. These rules are the “STD-4C standards” and apply to any wall-mounted mailbox clusters for apartments, high rises, and complexes. These are made for the tenants of said buildings, and keys and/or locks are switched out as the tenants change.
Roadside mailboxes such as the ones owned by single-family homes are also available, which meet UPSP standards. These serve the same purpose and are standardized to ensure deliveries can still happen.
Can a Private Locksmith Provide Me with a USPS Approved Lock and Key?
Yes. King Locksmith works with the standards set by the USPS to ensure all your mail can still be delivered to you.
Before visiting a locksmith, the first thing you should do is check with your municipality or community association to ensure that your mailbox lock is accessible to the delivery drivers.
