Updated: Jan 8, 2023

G'day mate! There's nothing like having a fancy letterbox with a brass address plaque. If you're looking to increase the security of your home, replacing the lock on your letterbox is a great option. These handy devices allow you to secure your mail and protect your personal information, and with a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, they're easy to replace yourself. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to replace a letterbox lock:


Step 1: Gather your materials. You'll need a new letterbox lock, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.


Step 2: Remove the old lock. Using a screwdriver, remove the screws that hold the old lock in place. If the screws are stuck or difficult to remove, you can use a pair of pliers to get a better grip.


Step 3: Install the new lock. Hold the new lock against the letterbox and insert the screws through the holes. Secure the lock in place using the screws provided.


Step 4: Test the lock. Test the lock to make sure it's properly secured and functioning correctly. If needed, make any necessary adjustments.


Step 5: Set the combination. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the combination for the lock. Make sure to choose a combination that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.


And there you have it! With a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, you can easily replace a letterbox lock like a true blue Aussie. Just remember, if you're not sure about any part of the process, it's always best to consult with a professional locksmith for assistance.
