[Everyone] Mailbox Issue

[David Weiner]

If I'm not mistaken, we have what's known as a Cluster Box Unit, and
despite us bricking it in, it is owned by the USPS.  It would be much more
cost effective to have the USPS replace the problem locks in question then
tear down the bricks, replace the CBU and then build up the bricks again.
It looks like replacement locks are about $20 each.  Since it is a USPS
owned CBU, technically, they should be the one to replace them.  However,
there is a fee for that.  If you can get the box open, it should be a
simple matter to replace the lock.  I will take a look when I check the
mail to see what type of lock is needed and the level of difficulty in
replacing it.
