I lost a gate card with an attached mailbox key last year. I kept hoping it would turn up, or I'd find it, but that hasn't happened, so I'd like to replace both. In 2012, they said the mailbox key must be done through the Lady Lake Post Office. Is that still the case? Can one call them, or must it be done in person? My understanding is that they will have to change the mailbox lock, and then will provide new keys for a fee.
Has anyone done this lately?

It seems that you have one key. A locksmith could tell you if i is illegal for him to cut a key for you. I just looked at my key and there is no note on it saying it can't be duplicated.
Someone suggested $25 and they replace the lock. I don't claim to know but that sounds far less than I would expect. I would also wonder about replacing the lock being necessary. That would make sense if you do not have at least one key that works. It would take less time and cost less to replace the lock than to make a key from the lock.
