Residents should be aware that thieves have been opening and removing mail from the letterboxes.

The Executive Committee recommends owners retain a locksmith, or take their letterbox lock to a locksmith, and have it modified such that the Master Key capability is removed as well as have it re-keyed such that the key required to open the lock is different to the number stamped on the front of the lock.

Hornsby Locksmiths will undertake the work for $15.00 in their shop.

Removal and re-installation of the cam-lock from the letterbox requires no tools.

If you have had mail stolen from your letterbox the Executive Committee recommend you notify Hornsby Police on 02 9476 9799 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, your banks and service providers.
