You are a life saver! Thank you you for sharing your knowledge. I was fumbling with that box for quite a minute until I found your video. Imagine that I didn't know that flat metal that holds the lock in place was removable! 😅 Once I saw that in your video the rest was history. I thought that flat metal was glued down. So happy and proud of myself thanks TJ you. You helped make me an even more informed handy woman! 🎉
Thanks! I fixed my own mailbox lock because my super is a lazy jerk! My mailbox wasn’t locking and I wasn’t getting my mail due to that. If I had to wait for my super ill get it fixed-in 5 years.
@@stivistivi7138so then why is he a landlord in the first place he’s supposed to fix anything that’s broken I been living in my new apartment and since I been living here my mailbox lock was fucked up
This video was so helpful and incredibly methodical which is what I needed. I avoided a lot of panicking and fiddling in my mail area. Took me a couple of tries but your video really prepared me. Thanks!
I must say that I loved ur video. I never thought i'd be able to remove a lock & replace with new one and u made it so easy. I was not sure what I would do when I lost the key. You were a great help. Thank you!
Thank you! I was going crazy trying to replace my mailbox lock. It wouldn't work because I didn't know that the lock needs to be install without the key and more importantly the lock needs to be locked position. There are many videos on how to replace a mailbox lock but they don't tell the important details. Once again thank you for sharing this video.
thank you so much for the instructions.My landlord is not doing anything about my mailbox,so i had to and thanks to you,i was able to install my own.Again,many thanks !
Bro this vid helped me THANK YOU. I didn't have to replace my lock, the lock and screw were loose so all I had to do was tighten it and put in the right position. I give 10/10 and this is resourceful thanks again for this vid!.
Thank you. And I can also see why my letter box has never shut properly: the wrong size latch was used. Now I can rectify this as well as fitting a new lock.
mine didn't come with a nut to secure the lock lever and was trippin on if I was just doing it wrong, but your video says otherwise thanks for the video!
This absolutely drove me nuts today and i was not successful in replacing the lock. My mailbox does not have that lip. It has a slot on the inside. Might try again later but so far not good. I just realized my original lock is a clockwise lock. The lock i was using is counter clockwise
Thank you for the detail! My biggest problem will be drilling out the old lock as the key won't go in. Also having my neighbors not call the cops on me
Great video! Just wondering what the diameter of the shaft of this lock is? The hole on my mailbox door has a diameter of 15 mm, so I wonder if this particular lock would fit. Thank you.
Hi, thanks so much for sharing this information. I was able to replace the mailbox all by myself. Where did you go to make a copy for the mailbox key? Does a Home Depot make them?
This is so good! I followed your other video to open the locked mailbox but we have now bought two different locks and neither of them fit. Do you have any tips on how to find ones that fit?
I realize you probably have this solved by now, but when I'm trying to replace a part, if I can, I try to take the original part with me when I go to the store. Helps to make sure I have the same size, same fit, etc. Just wanted to leave a note in case someone else has the same problem.
Thanks for this video. Lost my keys and thought I'd have to wait for weeks and pay a fortune for someone to come fix it but $8 and ten minutes and it was done. Appreciate it!
Thank you! My daughter didnt put the washer part you shouldve made time to really show that tiny part. Nevertheless we figured it out but it seems to be secure without it. Is it really important to put it back in? Thank you!
Depending on your set up some come with a nut... some come with a slider... newer packets come with both. The nut or slider is just to hold the lock in place. If yours has only the slider it should work and the nut is not necessary.
While this was very helpful, I don't understand why someone would make a how-to video that says "Go ahead and secure the nut" without showing the process of securing the nut. This is like a technical bake on Great British Bake Off: "make pastry."

It’s not his responsibility to change your mailbox lock, you should start tipping him so he can help you out more.

Thanks for the video! Where did you buy your lock for this video?
Thank you.
My old lock is 16mm long can I use a 40mm new lock, would that fit? I was thinking to use old parts except for the front part with the new key
Hi, thanks so much for sharing this information. I was able to replace the mailbox all by myself. Where did you go to make a copy for the mailbox key? Does a Home Depot make them?
Yes any hardware store should be fine 🙂
This is so good! I followed your other video to open the locked mailbox but we have now bought two different locks and neither of them fit. Do you have any tips on how to find ones that fit?
Go to Home Depot
I realize you probably have this solved by now, but when I'm trying to replace a part, if I can, I try to take the original part with me when I go to the store. Helps to make sure I have the same size, same fit, etc.
Just wanted to leave a note in case someone else has the same problem.
Very good, where did you purchase your replacement lock? Thanks.
Wow. Thanks so much!!!!
Thanks!
Great job!!!
Thank you very much for the video it was very helpful for me thank you
Recently had some rodents break into my mailbox and steal my amazon package. Glad to know it's a simple fix. Thank you.
Your teaching is very good. Tq
Thank you
Thanks for this video. Lost my keys and thought I'd have to wait for weeks and pay a fortune for someone to come fix it but $8 and ten minutes and it was done. Appreciate it!
I need a replacement key for my mailbox but there is different ones available I.e. 16mm versus 20mm. How do I know which one is right?
Measure twice
Thanks I just fixed it in less than a min
Thank you so muchhhh
Very helpful. Thanks.
what tool do i need to do it?
Did you need any tools to secure the nuts? Or was it all by hand?
Ughhhh thanks so much 😊
Sam you are the man
Thank you! My daughter didnt put the washer part you shouldve made time to really show that tiny part. Nevertheless we figured it out but it seems to be secure without it. Is it really important to put it back in? Thank you!
Thanks dude
Where did he buy this specific lock 🔐 .
Who makes the lock you bought?
You can buy from any hardware store these use the NA14 key blanks.
hi, what brand or model number is this lock?
Thank u!
What size is the nut? My set didn't come with one just the slider
Depending on your set up some come with a nut... some come with a slider... newer packets come with both. The nut or slider is just to hold the lock in place. If yours has only the slider it should work and the nut is not necessary.
thank you 👍🏽
I need this same mailbox door where can I find one
Your voice sounds a lot like Michael Cohen
Thank you🗝
Thank you God bless you
3:20 < That’s exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks.

Alex Nunez theres another video from someone that shows how to open it and it was easy with the screwdriver lol 😂 i did it the other day!
No cause this video was very helpful but I didn’t know the latch had to facing the non number side so I was sweating for 30 mins trying to fix my shi

While this was very helpful, I don't understand why someone would make a how-to video that says "Go ahead and secure the nut" without showing the process of securing the nut. This is like a technical bake on Great British Bake Off: "make pastry."
