Anyone know who to contact? Singpost, HDB or Town council?

call town council first and see wat they say cos they likely ask you call lock smith and for replacing the letter box lock, also check with them

LAGUNA PARK EN-BLOC SPAT

Condo's MC chairman nabbed

Arrest followed 'glued doors' attack at two units this week; he's now out on police bail

By Chong Chee Kin


THE chairman of the management committee at Laguna Park, recently hit by a spate of vandalism, was arrested this week on suspicion of gluing shut two residents' apartment doors.

No charges were brought against Mr Lee Kok Leong, 61, who has since been released on police bail.

He could not be contacted yesterday despite several attempts to do so.

A resident who declined to be named said he was surprised by the news of the arrest as Mr Lee was well respected in the 530-unit East Coast condominium, whose residents are now split over a collective sale.

The resident said of Mr Lee: 'Although he supported the en-bloc sale, he had claimed he was a victim - he said his mailbox was glued shut.'

The rift over the collective sale has turned ugly in recent months after several instances of vandalism against those opposed to the sale.

In the latest incident on Monday, two residents found their apartment doors stuck to the frames by glue.

Last time my key broke inside the keyhole, really hard to get it out.

 

[keenklee]

IMHO. Can try .....
Bring your IC.
When SIngpost deliver mail, change the lock.

 

[WWH123]

It is such a simple thing. Just wait for postman to open the whole thing. They got the keys.

 

[swenson]

u need to prove that this unit belongs to you first. just wait for postman to come and then you clear the letters from the rear.

I know the problem when after holiday come back, full to the brim and the letters were blocking the latch, and cannot turn the key

 

[deathan9el]

Glad the problem is solved for you

The lock is likely made of zinc. Get a plier grip and can easily crush it like plastic. Then bring to a hardwareshop find replacement.

Only need to take note of the depth where the latching bar is and the bar length.
If alignment is only off by a bit. Use two pliers and bend it until it can reach the groove or reuse the old bar.

Low iq job.

 

[batuchka]

[brushless]
