In a way. THE UPDATE IS A new part was installed. There is one major problem with the keyway, which does not have a flap that prevents dirt and water from penetrating the keyway. The keyway does not have a gasket that protects the tumblers from moisture and dirt. The mailbox I have is outside, so there is a problem with weather Since this lock is not designed for use on mailboxes that are in protected, covered areas, you probably will not find it satisfactory. I fully expect I will have to replace this mail box lock within the coming year despite its low price. There is a problem in that the keys do not glide nicely in the keyway. There is some help from 40, but it is a bit You can get tired of fiddling with keys that don't easily slide into and out of locks each day if you use them every day. It was a little low in quality this time, but it will be better next time.

A few weeks ago, I accidentally broke the key in the lock while opening my mailbox. As long as the lock was old and janky, there was no problem To replace it, I ordered one of these. Because the key on this lock looks the same as the key on the old one, I chose it. In the case of a lock replacement, the installation was straightforward You just need to remove the old lock, match the locking arm on the old mailbox lock to one of the five included with the set, and fasten the lock to the mailbox with the two included nuts. (A screw is mentioned in the instructions, but the actual device uses nuts. ) Including the walk to the box from my apartment and walking back, it took me about five minutes. This is much more smooth and reliable than the old, dirty lock that it replaced, yet feels secure enough that it will hold the box in place despite being so small. The lock is not entirely secure, but I am not terribly concerned about the level of security I am much more likely to have someone jimmy open the portion of the postal lock that opens the entire box at once if they were planning to steal my mail. An easy DIY solution to a common problem that a locksmith or post office would have charged dozens of dollars to fix could be found here.

The item was ordered to replace my broken mailbox lock and I received it the next day (thanks to Amazon Prime). The software is reasonably priced, very easy to install (it took me less than a minute to complete the installation), and it works great! I asked our Super a few years ago to replace the same mailbox lock and he charged me Instead of spending that much on a repair, I decided to do it myself and saved almost half!.

It was recommended to me to use this lock. Modify the USPS mailbox to fit the USPS mailbox without the need for modification. As of now, everything seems to be working well.

In my case, I have vertical Salisbury mailboxes with Salisbury locks that are difficult to locate and expensive if I do, but I have There were no cams on this lock, but it fit well into the mold. There was about 1/4 inch of excess length on the cam that is almost straight, but I went to the locksmith, who was able to take care of that for me and straighten it completely for me. The first time I tried the key copying, I did not have the lock with me, so it did not work. When they couldn't copy the lock, I had to return with the lock and they cut me three keys until they were able to copy it. all, I like the fact that they are not too expensive, but next time I need to change a mailbox lock, I'm worried that the cam will need to be cut.

In order to replace the lock on my US Post mailbox, I went to the US Post office. This is the first time I've heard that a particular model was recommended. In terms of security, it was not quite up to par. That was my fault, but Amazon refunded me the money and I bought the recommended model.

There is no other like this! You can slide in the lock right after you remove the mounting bolt and washer. You can choose the latch for your box based on the size of your box. This was a genious move on the seller's part as it came with several latches! No kidding! Flipping genius!.

I wasn't able to make a copy of the key - there was only one - for my mailbox, so this was a much better solution. The cost of getting a new lock and two keys is less expensive than making a copy of one? A way to incorporate the Amazon effect into your applications. It has multiple arms that can be applied to different situations. It is recommended.
