Our Mailbox Key Duplication Services
We provide mailbox key duplication for three main categories of mailboxes:
Residential Mailbox Keys
From standard home mailboxes to cluster mailboxes in neighborhoods and apartment complexes, we duplicate keys for virtually any residential mailbox. Our precision cutting equipment ensures your new key works smoothly from the start. We stock a wide variety of key blanks to match most mailbox locks, allowing for same-day service in most cases.

Businesses with private mailboxes, mail rooms, or P.O. boxes can rely on us for accurate key duplication.

Why Choose A.L. Odom
Fast, Same-Day Service
When you’re locked out of your mailbox, you don’t want to wait days for a solution. We offer same-day key cutting services at our Asheville location. Just bring in your original key or information about your mailbox lock, and we’ll handle the rest. Your new keys will be ready in typically 5-10 minutes.
Professional Expertise
With ALOA, SAVTA, and SOPL certifications, our locksmiths have the professional credentials and expertise to handle even unique or older mailbox locks. Unlike big-box stores that offer automated key cutting, our hands-on approach ensures precision cuts that work reliably every time. We can also identify and address issues with worn keys or damaged locks that might be causing problems.
Affordable Solutions
We provide competitive pricing for mailbox key duplication without sacrificing quality. Having multiple spare keys made while you’re in the shop is more economical than returning later for additional copies.
Mailbox Lock Problems We Fix
Sometimes the issue isn’t just a lost key but a problematic lock. Weather exposure, wear and tear, or attempted break-ins can damage mailbox locks. If your mailbox lock is sticking, difficult to turn, or completely jammed, we can assess the problem and recommend the best solution. Often, a simple cleaning and lubrication can restore function, but if replacement is needed, we can handle that too, usually during the same visit. Our services extend beyond key duplication to comprehensive lock solutions.

What do I need to bring to get a mailbox key duplicated?
Ideally, bring your original key for the most accurate duplication. If you’ve lost all keys, bring information about your mailbox type and lock, or the lock itself if it can be removed. For USPS mailboxes, you may need to provide identification and box ownership verification.

Yes, we can create master key systems for mail rooms with multiple boxes, giving administrators controlled access while maintaining security. This is ideal for businesses that need several employees to access different mailboxes.
