We had to go through this process when or mail box key when our lock became inoperable.
Eventually, you will get 3 keys for a new lock.

But, before buying a new lock, you should first try to repair the lock with a lock lubricant, and also get a postal worker to verify that the box is not jammed with excess mail.
