Your association does not have keys
to individual condominium mailboxes.
Only the postal service or a locksmith can provide access to your
mailbox. The easiest way to gain access is to
remove and replace the lock:
- Leave a note for the mail carrier
explaining that you must change your mailbox lock and ask the carrier to remove
the retaining clip holding the lock in place.
- Determine the manufacturer and model
of the mailbox.
- Purchase a replacement lockset that
fits your mailbox. Clark-Devon Hardware
stocks all brands. They cost about
$12.
- Make a couple duplicates of the new
mailbox lock keys while you are there.
- Install the lock in the mailbox (no
tools necessary).
- Keep an extra key in a safe
place. If you submit a key to our
office, we will engrave it and tag it with your unit keys. You may obtain it during business hours if
you lose other keys.
- If
you have any questions, please contact us for clarification at 773-856-5100.
- Alternately, Chicago Condo Management can purchase and install a new mailbox lock on your behalf.
The total cost for labor and parts is $65.
