Cluster Mailbox Keys
Mail is delivered to cluster box units (CBUs), not curbside. If youâre moving in and need a mailbox key, follow the steps below.
1) Visit the Serving Post Office
USPS â Little Elm Post Office
1012 W Eldorado Pkwy, Little Elm, TX 75068
Check current hours
Phone: 972-292-1864 or 1-800-ASK-USPS
Bring a government-issued photo ID and proof you live at the address (closing docs, deed, or lease/utility).
2) Tell USPS You Need a Key
- If the previous owner didnât provide keys, request a lock change and new keys for your CBU compartment.
- USPS may have you complete PS Form 1094 â Request for Post Office Box Key or Lock Service and pay a small lock/key fee (amount varies by location).
- USPS will change the lock and notify you when your keys are ready for pickup.
Helpful Notes
- Who issues keys? For USPS-owned CBUs, keys/locks are handled by the local Post Office. If a CBU is privately owned/managed (some condos/HOAs), contact the property manager instead.
- Documentation needed: Photo ID + proof of occupancy/ownership (lease, deed, or recent utility). Bring your exact street address and unit number.
- Fees & timing: A lock/key fee is typical; exact cost and turnaround are set locally by USPS. Ask the Little Elm counter staff for current details.
- Parcel lockers: Packages too large for your mailbox may be placed in a parcel locker. USPS leaves a one-time use key in your box to open the locker.
Questions? Start with the Little Elm Post Office (above) or the USPS FAQs on locked mailboxes and keys.

Customer Service & Contact
NTTA Contact / Support
Phone: 972-818-NTTA (6882) or 817-731-NTTA (6882)
Tip: Using a TollTag saves you money. Drivers without a TollTag are billed via ZipCash (pay-by-mail) and pay higher rates.
Additional Notes & Tips
- Tolls for NTTAâs TEXpress lanes are also billed through NTTA.
- If you use a non-NTTA tag (e.g. interoperable ones), NTTA accepts many of them but billing is integrated through their system.
- Need assistance on the road? Dial **#999** from a mobile phone for free roadside safety services on NTTA roads.
- Keep your account in good standingâlate tolls sent via ZipCash can accrue fees, and repeated nonpayments may lead to restrictions on vehicle registration renewal.
- To dispute a toll charge or request adjustment, contact NTTA Customer Service.}
