Mailbox key duplication is one of the most common services requested by residents, landlords, and business owners in Katy. Whether your mailbox is at your front door or in a cluster unit, having a second key can save you time and stress.
Our locksmith team can copy most mailbox keys on the spot—often within minutes. We handle all major lock brands, including those on USPS-approved boxes and private commercial mailboxes. With mobile service, we come directly to your home, apartment complex, or office building and complete the job without you needing to visit a shop.
There are several scenarios where duplicating your mailbox key makes life easier—and more secure:
It's also a good idea to have a spare if your current key is beginning to wear down. A thin or bent key is a warning sign that it may break soon—leaving you locked out.
We offer duplication for private mailboxes and many cluster box setups. See more about cluster-mounted mailboxes and our related services.
Not all mailbox keys are the same. Here are the most common types we duplicate:
We also duplicate mailbox keys for retail storefronts, offices, and industrial parks that use commercial-grade mailboxes.
In most cases, yes—especially if your mailbox is privately owned or HOA-managed. If you have a working copy of the key, we can use it to make a duplicate right on-site using our precision cutters.
However, if the key is marked “Do Not Duplicate,” that’s often just a warning label—not a legal barrier. We’ll confirm lock ownership before proceeding. USPS mailbox locks, on the other hand, require official channels for service.
Still unsure? We can check the key type and let you know your options. We also specialize in lock replacement if you’d prefer an entirely new key and lock combo.
Lost your only mailbox key? Don’t worry—we’ve got solutions. First, avoid trying to force the lock or pry it open—it could damage the mailbox and make repairs more expensive.
If the box is owned by you or your property manager, we can usually pick the lock and either cut a new key or replace the lock entirely. For USPS-owned locks, you’ll need to request a change through your local post office.
We recommend having us replace the lock if you’re unsure who may have the missing key. It’s a fast and secure way to regain control over your mail access.
