I beleive Lady Lake, and you will need to make arrangements for a new lock, I think this will be around $35, no idea on the lead time. Hopefully you will be albe to contact your local mail person to pick up your mail while they are there.

Side note, has anyone noticed the tallest owners have the shortest mail box and visa- versa.

My mailbox is on the top row. I think that someone is raising the boxes. It was a lot easier to get my mail 6 years ago when we moved here. My wife needs help getting the mail out of the box......she's 5'-0".

Takes them a little over a week to replace the lock, but you can pick up your mail at the box location if you go over there while their sorting and tell them your problem. They can set it aside as if you were away and you can pick it up anytime there sorting mail.

My mailbox is in the bottom row. Was at my seasonal home last week to do some work. Checked mailbox and neither of my keys worked! Tried to contact mailman but no answer at the phone number given. Has anyone else had this problem? I did notice a stuck key in one of the other bottom row boxes.

Funny the first time. Very sad from then on. No one should have to crawl on their hands and knees or need a ladder to get their mail.

Every time I have called the post office, I have been put on hold forever.

The PO never picks up. I knew I wasn't the 1st to lose keys so I thought it was appropriate to ask on TOTV.

Exactly tey never pick up. I find it "amusing" that people questioned my post.

I just checked out your previous posts. You are not helpful.

Some people just assume others are clueless, sorry you had to deal with that, neighbor

Go to post office pay your $35.00 dollars and then the maintenance person will install your new lock within a week.

Having just lost and replaced my mailbox keys-it's $35 at the post office, you will be given one of the 3 keys right away, and within a week or so, that key will open your mailbox, and inside will be the other 2 keys.
Be aware-that the Post Office that coordinates (all,I believe) TV mailbox keys is in Lady Lake and is on LEGRANDE Boulevard-NOT the one on Teague Trail (I made that mistake). As well-it IS Golf cart accessible, in case you lost your car keys along with your mailbox key!
This is a perfect forum to ask this kind of question-so many people with similiar experiences should be able to help. Why some aren't deciding to be helpful, I'll never understand. Hope this helps.

If you have 1 key available go have it reproduced and your in business for about $5.

Has anyone had one copied and if so, where?

Where can you get a mailbox key duplicated? I have tried many places, and they won't do it. I went to a locksmith and they woudn't do it. I even tried to duplicate one at the automated machine at Lowe's, but it wouldn't make a key. These places do not have the blank keys for the mailboxes.

I've also tried several places and no one will duplicate the key...

I expect they are in some order in the back where they load in the mail. I have a low box. Far as I know we did not get any discount for poor box location.

They are deliberately controlled. The typical places cannot get the blanks so they cannot make a key for you. You need to go to the post office. They will surely ask you for id and proof you own the house.

Even the post office won't sell you a duplicate key. You need to buy a new lock.
