Mailbox lock service in Ottawa & Gatineau
Request help with a stuck mailbox lock, a lost mailbox key or a lock that needs repair or replacement. Confirm who is responsible for the mailbox first.
Identify the mailbox and your authorization
Mailboxes in private buildings, shared properties and postal installations can have different ownership and access arrangements. Tell us the type of mailbox, the location and who manages it. The technician needs to establish authorization before working on the lock. Describe whether the key is missing, broken or simply no longer turning.
