Duplicate Mailbox Keys Pasadena Texas

Frequently Asked Questions

Can any locksmith duplicate a mailbox key?

Not all locksmiths carry the necessary blanks or tools. We specialize in mailbox keys and offer mobile duplication throughout Pasadena for USPS-approved, private, and HOA units.

What should I do if my mailbox key is bent?

Stop using it to avoid damaging the lock. We can cut a fresh key from the original or decode the lock if needed. We also offer lock replacement services if the damage is severe.

How long does it take to make a copy?

Most duplicates take just a few minutes. Our locksmiths can typically cut and test a key in one visit—fast and hassle-free.

Can I copy a “Do Not Duplicate” mailbox key?

Legally, “Do Not Duplicate” is not a federal restriction but may be enforced by property owners or management. We advise checking with your HOA or landlord before duplicating these types.

Is it better to duplicate or replace the lock?

If you still have the original key, duplication is faster and cheaper. If you've lost it or the lock is worn, replacing the lock and issuing new keys is safer.

Can I copy a USPS mailbox key?

USPS cluster box keys can only be duplicated if you own the box or have the right authorization. We use compliant blanks and follow legal standards when duplicating these keys.

Will you give me multiple keys after replacing the lock?

Yes, all our lock replacements include two new keys. You can request additional copies on-site at a discounted rate.

Do you service apartment mailboxes?

Yes. We regularly work with property managers and tenants to provide copies or replacements for apartment mailbox units. We also assist with wall-mounted mail system repairs.

Can you make a duplicate if I only have a photo of the key?

No, a photo is not enough to accurately cut a key. However, if you’ve lost the key, we may be able to rekey the lock or install a new one on-site.

Is it secure to duplicate a key?

Yes, especially when working with licensed professionals. Our team ensures that your key is duplicated responsibly and securely, with no unauthorized access or misuse.
