Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Here’s how our mobile locksmith team professionally installs post mount mailboxes in Cedar Park:

1. We inspect the installation area and confirm USPS height and distance regulations.
2. A hole is dug to proper depth and filled with concrete or anchored securely.
3. The post is set level and reinforced for maximum stability.
4. Once the base cures, the mailbox is mounted to the post using anti-rust bolts.
5. We install or upgrade the mailbox lock, test key function, and ensure proper door closure.

The entire process usually takes under an hour. If needed, we also provide duplicate keys on-site before we leave.

Repair Services We Offer

At Mailbox Lock Cedar Park, we repair every part of a post mount mailbox system, including:

• Realigning and re-anchoring loose posts

• Replacing or rekeying mailbox locks

When to Replace vs. Repair

If the mailbox body is dented, rusted through, or doesn’t meet current USPS standards, replacement is the smarter choice. Repairs make sense if the box is structurally sound but has minor hardware issues.

Our technicians will evaluate your mailbox and give you honest feedback. If replacement is the better long-term option, we’ll offer models that meet your budget and style preferences.

Compliance with USPS and Local Regulations

All post mount mailbox installations in Cedar Park must meet USPS regulations for height, setback from the curb, and accessibility. We ensure every install is compliant with:

• Mailbox center 41–45" from the ground
• 6–8" back from the curb
• Secured with anti-tip hardware or buried post anchors

We also follow HOA and local property codes. Need help with a shared mailbox? We also do cluster-style mailbox installations for communities.

• Steel or aluminum bodies – for maximum durability

• Custom paint finishes – coordinate with your house trim
• Locking inserts – for added mail security
