Default Janes Outpost
The postal agent who was dispensing mail at Chatham yesterday said that Janes Outpost in Sumter Landing has gone out of business. One now has to go to the Lady Lake (32162) main post office on highway 25 for service. To get there from 441 at the stop light by Shell gas station and near the branch post office - go east about a mile and a half to the stop light at CR 25. Go to the right (south) about a quarter mile.

On the subject of getting a copy made at a lock smith - your chances are slim & none. First off, I have not found one that has a blank. Secondly, the key says don't duplicate so if you do find one and expect to turn it in when selling your home - lots of luck because it will be obvious that it was not an original.

I lost one of our keys over the summer. Went to Janes in Sept and they sold to me and installed for me (within 3 days) a new lock which came with three keys. To buy a spare key it would have been about half the price and the wait would have been about a week or more.
