Porch pirates and mailbox thieves look for the easy target. A few lock upgrades help.

Locking mailboxes

A locking mailbox with a slot keeps letters and small packages out of reach. If your current box has a weak or missing lock, a mailbox lock replacement is quick.

Package boxes

Lockable parcel boxes on the porch can be secured with a keyed lock or a keypad.

Garage delivery

Some homeowners use a smart lock or keypad lock on a side or garage door with temporary codes. If you do, secure the door from the garage into the house with a real deadbolt.

Lost mailbox key?

New residents often never get one. Replacing the lock is the fix, and it pairs well with rekeying the house.
