![]() This service is free and can be scheduled so both party's do not have to wait for hours for someone to show up. ![]() A maintenance person from the PO or supervisor/postmaster comes out with the arrow key which opens the entire cluster box and allows you to remove and replace the lock. They let them know a lock needs to be changed. The condo association calls the post office servicing their cluster box. When someone spoke of a master key I assume they mean the arrow key the carriers have so they can open the entire cluster box so they can put the mail in. They do not keep individual keys for every mailbox at the PO or have a master key that is able to open all the individual mailboxes in our neck of the woods. They own the cluster boxes and are responsible for changing the locks when someone leaves or looses the key, or whatever. We had a similar situation with a condo association. I know every place the procedure may be a little different. Here is how it works in our neck of the woods (upstate NY). If I scratch that surface or bend the mailbox door, I’m going to be charged big money by my condo board. CompX (which seems to have absorbed many older lock and mailbox manufacturers) produces locks for USPS approved 'Cluster Box Unit' mailboxes meeting the USPS-L-1172C standard under the model numbers C9100 and C9200 (the model selection is based on the 'hand' of the box door). I can’t use a hammer or pry that box open. Yes I have a replacement ready to aren’t carbide and diamond grit bits for tile, masonry, glass etc. While I’m waiting for her, I’m going to try to drill the lock again. I’m going to go there this week and change the lock once she opens the entire box. She came 30 minutes before her usual 3 hour window. ![]() ![]() I drove to the rental site last week and waited for the mail person. The board gave me 3 copies of the keys (can’t find my spare). The condo board hired a private company to install the mailbox. Will this drill bit work better than a diamond or carbide bit? It says it’s for hard - There’s no master key with the manager’s office. I’m also going to bring some cutting oil. I’m going to hold a drill block in the desired location and start the hole. I believe I’m drilling in the wrong location. ![]()
