A lost key here will cost you $50.00 and some effort. If you are one key short of the original issue, there will be a delay at the closing of a sale of your home. You go to the POST OFFICE in Lady Lake and pay the fee. You will be given a key that will fit the NEW lock. Then, they send a locksmith to your PO Box to install the NEW lock and leave your NEW keys in the box. (Please don't ask how I know about this.) At the time it is somewhat irritating, but in retrospect, it is a logical and safe system that will encourage you to be more careful with the new keys. I highly doubt you can make your own PO Box key at any hardware store. Good Luck.
