Default Locksmith wanted

Hi there,

is there anybody who can change the lock of my postbox? The previous tenants bought the box, but didn't leave a key.

I'm living in Murla,

thx,

I have no idea where Murla is but I am sure if you ask at your local Ferreteria (ironmonger) they will help you out.

Is it a stand alone box? You might find it is cheaper to buy a new mail box, they are not expensive.

The locks are usually very simple to change. I would suggest you take a photo of the box to the Ferreteria so he can identify what type of lock is fitted to yours.

Why not drill the old lock out and fit a new one. They are not expensive.

Hoi! That's the million dollar question!

I'm a woman, and I do not know how to do it, hence, I have to ask somebody else (who will cash my money for it).

grtz,
