Ensure the lock mechanism is properly lubricated. Check for any obstructions inside the latch area. Verify the mailbox is securely mounted and not sagging.

Use a graphite-based lubricant specifically designed for locks. Insert the key and gently turn it back and forth. If the issue persists, the lock may need professional attention.
