When people think about break-ins, they think about a front door being smashed in and their property being stolen. But, we rarely think about just how vulnerable our mailboxes are to crime as well. Protecting your mailbox is just as important as protecting your property. In Calgary, most mail is delivered into wall-mounted mailboxes. These mailboxes are in open spaces with a lot of traffic passing through. Changing your mailbox lock is a simple way to protect yourself from crime.

Having your mailbox lock changed is easy! Wall-mounted mailbox locks are incredibly simple. Most have between three and five small wafers inside which match the corresponding key. The lock is held in place by a small C-clip, which applies pressure against the back of the door. When we change your mailbox lock, we simply remove the pre-existing lock and replace it with a new one. If you are locked out of your mailbox, we can quickly drill or pick the lock open to grant you access, and replace the lock. The old keys will no longer work, and you will get a new set of keys that will work.

This is the only way to guarantee access control. That means knowing exactly who has keys to your mailbox and access to your mail. You should replace the mailbox lock with each new tenant, and every time you misplace your keys, wallet, or purse.
