I lost my lobby mailbox key. What should I do?

Ask your building management first. Some towers change mailbox locks themselves. If they say you can arrange it, call us and we open the box and fit a new lock.

Can you open my mailbox without damage?

Usually, yes. We open the lock, not the door, so the box stays straight. A rusted lock may need drilling, and we tell you first.

Will the new lock match the other mailboxes?

We bring common sizes and styles, so it usually looks the same. If your building wants a set lock type, we fit that one.

My key turns, but the box won't open. Why?

The small metal arm behind the lock has probably slipped or broken. We fix it or fit a new lock.

Can you help with an Emirates Post PO Box?

No. PO Boxes at the post office belong to Emirates Post and their keys may not be copied. You apply for a new lock at the post office where your box is.

Can you copy my mailbox key?

Yes, most mailbox keys can be copied. Our key duplication in Dubai Marina service cuts spares at the same visit.

Do you check that the box is mine?

Yes. We ask for ID and proof you live in the flat, like a tenancy contract or Ejari, because post holds private papers.

I moved in and got no mailbox key. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord or management first in case they hold it. If not, we open the box and fit a new lock with new keys.

I lost my flat key and mailbox key together. Can you help?

Yes. We can do both in one visit. For the flat, our key maker in Dubai Marina service makes a new key from the lock.

How long does it take?

Opening the box and fitting a new lock usually takes well under an hour.

Can you come in the evening?

Yes. We work 24/7, so you can book a time after work. Just check your lobby is open to visitors then.

Mailboxes We Work On

Lobby mailboxes,sorted.
