Idea worked great - I just used cooking oil applied to the key and hammered the key gently and it went in and fixed the issue. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!!!🔥🔥🔥 I didn't realize that I wasn't sticking it in the hole all the way. I put more strength into it and it finally opened up with added wd40.🔥🔥🔥

You saved me from having to replace the lock! I also found that it helped to spray the part of the key itself that goes into the lock. I used the handel of a screwdriver to hammer it in gently. Thanks so much!

Thanks; it worked like a charm. After waiting over a month at the new place to get my keys, the mailbox would not open. WD40 & light taps with a hammer did the trick. Appreciated..!!

💌 Thank you so much 🌹🌹🌹. This really works. I was frustrated for two days as my mail box could not open. I called Town Council and they said they will help me email the Post Office. Just now , I was really feeling very irritated. I looked up in youtube to help me solve the problem. Yours was the second youtube I watched. I brought a hammer down ( of course in a plastic bag , hence people think I am going to rob their house ) at 11 plus pm and try to turn the key but it still cannot work so I just hit the key with the hammer , and viola the mailbox opened. I was overjoyed. I did not hit it real hard but gave it two knocks and turned the key and the mailbox opened. Just , I actually was in bed , but could not sleep , perhaps because I have not written to you to tell you how grateful I am to you for sharing your awesome tip. So I am typing this now to say a Big Thank You to You to tell you how grateful I am to you for your 🏆🏅🥇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tip. Zillion thanksss...... Lots of love ❤❤❤ and hugs 🤗🤗🤗 to You from Singapore 😘😘😘 !

THANK YOU for posting this! After getting the run-around from the post office (that's a whole other story), I tried the WD40. That didn't work by itself - although the key did go in where before it wouldn't. I went back with a hammer, gently tapped it in and wallah! It opened!! Thank you - I was so skeptical because nothing ever seems to work like you see on all these videos, but this worked like a charm. You saved me frustrating phone calls, having to get the post office to come out (they wanted to charge me $40 even though it's their responsibility to maintain as it's a USPS post office box), not to mention I would have had to have my mail held and go to physically pick it up at the post office until this got resolved. High five!!!

Hey, I just had the same issue, and my dad suggested another option that might be helpful to some: boiling some water and putting a few drops into the slot (while the key is in there, to keep it open). The key would go in for me, but would not turn. The water immediately solved it!

Hi guys, he mentioned "the weather." Is it rain that causes it? Also does that mean when it stops raining it'll just fix itself? Furthermore, once you fix with WD40 and hammer, is it permanently fixed or do you have to do this every time the weather event occurs?

To people who have experienced this problem, use tweezers to pull out the half in the lock and then go to your local post office with a form of identification and proof that you live where you do (like have a digital copy of your lease or something). Show them your information and request for a new key and lock, cause if its giving you that much trouble you really don't want it in the long run
