Post Box Lock Opening Services in Tooting

Losing access to your post box is a frustrating experience, especially when it contains important mail: bank cards, replacement keys, hospital letters. At SMS Tooting Locksmiths we offer professional post box lock opening to get you back into your mail quickly and efficiently.

Why post box locks fail

Post box locks lead a hard life. The common causes we see across Tooting’s conversions and apartment blocks are:

• Lost or missing keys, easily the most frequent, especially after moving in
• Jammed or seized locks from regular use and weather exposure on outdoor banks of boxes
• Broken keys snapped off inside the tiny cylinder
• Attempted tampering, which can leave a lock damaged even when nothing was taken

Non-destructive opening, discreet service

Our locksmiths are experienced with a wide variety of post box lock types, from individual front-door letterboxes to the communal banks in mansion blocks and new developments. We open them without damage wherever possible, so often the existing lock survives with a fresh key.

If the lock is beyond repair we replace it with a high-quality alternative that fits your post box properly, supplied with new keys on the spot. For managing agents we can rekey or replace locks across a whole bank of boxes and keep the key system tidy and consistent.

Mail is private, and we treat it that way. Every post box job is handled with discretion and professionalism, and our locksmiths are DBS/CRB checked.
