When someone receives a package that's too large to fit in their regular post office box, the postal worker will place the parcel in one of those large lock boxes and place the external key in the recipients P.O. box. The recipient then takes the key, unlocks the large box, and retrieves their parcel. The key will remain locked in the large box until retrieved for re-use by the postal worker for the next oversized parcel.
