Letterbox Security
14th March
The Owners Corporation has investigated what measures can be taken, either by residents and/or the Owners Corporation, to improve security of mail in 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, your banks and service providers.
