USPS Lock and Key Return Program

The Mail Equipment Shop closed on June 14, 2014, and there is no one there to accept parcels or any other form of mail or communications. The USPS® Lock and Key Return Program is now in place with CompX Security Products and includes all non-functioning and obsolete locks and keys: PSIN O306A1, O306A2, O306B, O306D, O306P, O306P1, O308, O910A, O910B, Arrow, Medeco (MAL), Metro, and Rotary Locks and Keys.

This recycling program allows us to reduce the overall cost of manufacturing new locks while we support our overall effort to increase sustainability with the products we purchase. This program also contains a component that allows the Postal Service™ to generate revenue for brass scrap for locks that cannot be reconditioned or where only some of the components in the lock are reused.

In an effort to promote product compliance and remain cost-effective, please return all defective and obsolete locks, keys, and security products to this address:

USPS LOCK RETURN PROGRAM
COMPX SECURITY PRODUCTS
PO BOX 200
MAULDIN SC 29662-0200

All Arrow, Medeco (MAL), and Rotary Locks and Keys should be returned using Signature Confirmation for tracking purposes. Any questions about this program should be directed to National Materials Customer Service at 800-332-0317, option 4, then option 5, or via email at materials.customerservice@usps.gov.
