    Default US Style Brass push key padlock

    I have two old Cutler style brass office mail boxes which I am trying to get keys for. The boxes were from two old office building lobbies.

    One has a brass padlock, the other a tumbler style lock. The padlock uses a push key, the other a turn type key. Any help on how I can get keys for these would be appreciated.

    Default Re: US Style Brass push key padlock

    The lock that takes the push key is very likely a Street Letter Box lock. Those locks are the property of the US Postal Service. It is doubtful that you will find someone willing to risk Federal prison to make you a key. A better approach would be to look on Ebay and find a Giant push key padlock of the same style that isn't a postal key.

    As for the rim or mortise cylinder lock, that too is likely a US Postal keyway E1L also prohibited by the US Criminal Code. Replacing the cylinder is a better and easier option for it too.
