Can You Get Replacement Locker Keys?

What to do when you lose or need a copy of your locker key

Losing a locker key—whether for a school, gym, office cabinet, or community mailbox—can be frustrating. But the good news is: yes, you can often get replacement locker keys. The steps to replace them vary based on the type of locker and who owns it, but here’s a clear guide to help you figure it out.

1. Contact the Locker Owner or Administrator First

If your locker is part of a facility like a school, gym, or apartment, your first step should be to contact the administrator, property manager, or front desk staff. Many facilities have spare keys or offer a replacement service for a small fee.

For example:

Schools or gyms usually have a system in place for lost keys.
Community mailboxes in Canada (e.g., managed by Canada Post) require a request process for replacements.

4. Consider Replacing the Lock

If you’ve lost all copies of your locker key and can’t recover it through any of the above methods, you may need to replace the lock mechanism altogether. This is often the case for personal lockers, safes, or storage cabinets.

5. Be Prepared Next Time: Make a Spare

Once you get your replacement key, make a backup copy right away. A spare key can save you time, money, and stress—especially if your key wears down or breaks in the future.

We offer fast key duplication at our FobToronto headquarters, often done in minutes, functionality guaranteed.

Yes, you can get replacement locker keys—but it depends on your situation. Always start by checking with the locker provider or manager, look for a key number, and explore local options like locksmiths. If you still have the key, we might be able to help at FobToronto.
