Post Box Locks & Letterbox Accessories

Lost the key to your post box, or the lock has failed? A replacement cam lock is usually all you need. We stock the Sterling post box cam lock for wall-mounted and freestanding post boxes.

Check the lock body length, cam length and cam position against your old lock before you order.

How to Choose a Replacement Post Box Lock

Lock body

Measure the length of the lock body from the front face to the back, and its diameter.

Cam

Measure the flat cam (the arm that turns behind the door) and note which way it turns to lock.

Fixing

Most cam locks are held by a nut on the inside. Check the hole in your post box matches the lock.

Post Box Lock Guide

Replacing a Post Box Cam Lock

Open the post box, undo the nut holding the lock and remove the cam. Push the old lock out, fit the new one, refit the nut and cam the same way round, and test it with the box open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the cam lock fit my post box?

Compare the body length, diameter and cam with your old lock. If they match, it should fit.
