Patent
CA 2324743
Mailbox locks and mailboxes comprising such locks are disclosed. The lock includes a key lock mechanism and a strike bar that can be mounted on exterior surfaces of a housing and a door that defines an interior volume into which mail is deposited. In an embodiment, the key lock mechanism includes a key lock cover plate defining a slot for mounting the key lock mechanism to the door with screws or other fasteners inserted through the door and into the slot. Sliding the key lock mechanism along the slot permits alignment of the key lock mechanism. The strike bar also defines a respective slot. The strike bar also defines a locking cavity and an opening cavity such that, with the lock in a locked position, a bolt of the key lock mechanism can be captured by the locking cavity so that the door can be opened only by unlocking the lock. Whenever the bolt is engaged in an opening cavity, the door is readily openable without a key.
