North Hollywood P.O. box ZIP codes: 91603 and 91609–91618
These ZIP codes exist for post office boxes and a few large mail customers, not for streets. Nobody's front door is in 91603 or 91612. If one of these is on your mail, the locksmith still needs the street address where the lock actually is, which will be in one of the regular ZIPs.
- Price quoted before work begins
- Ask for ID and a written estimate
- Hours: Monday through Sunday, All day

Why these ZIPs share one page
The old site had a separate page for every one of these codes: 91603, 91609, 91610, 91611, 91612, 91614, 91615, 91616, 91617 and 91618. Each one said the same thing with a different number swapped in. That helps nobody, and a locksmith can't come to a P.O. box anyway, so they are folded into this one page.
In everyday terms, these are mailing codes. Some belong to post office box sections at North Hollywood post offices. Others are assigned to organisations that get enough mail to need their own code. The building you live or work in sits in a regular ZIP such as 91601, 91605 or 91606.
What can a locksmith do for a P.O. box holder? Not much with the box itself. P.O. box locks belong to the Postal Service; if you lose the key or the lock fails, the post office counter replaces it under its own rules. A private locksmith should not be drilling one.
02 Typical calls
What to do instead
- Give the dispatcher your street address, not the P.O. box
- Find your street ZIP on the list below the call buttons
- For a lost P.O. box key, go to the post office counter
- For a cluster mailbox at home, check who owns the box first
- For a private mailbox at a shipping store, ask the store
If you're not sure which street ZIP you are in, the cross streets are enough. The dispatcher finds a contractor from the street location, not the mailing code.
Mailbox locks at home are a different story: see the 91606 page for cluster boxes, or the residential page for a box you own outright.
03 Questions
Questions from P.O. box ZIPs
Why don't these ZIPs get their own pages?
They have no streets or doors of their own. Ten near-identical pages would be thin content; one clear page is more useful.
Can a locksmith replace my P.O. box lock?
No. The lock belongs to the Postal Service, and the post office replaces it. Bring ID and your box receipt.
My mail uses 91609 but I live on a normal street. What do I say on the call?
Give the street address and nearest cross streets. Ignore the box number; it doesn't tell the contractor where you are.
