Lockable mailboxes are ideal in those situations where a mailbox is out of sight, at business premises or with properties that are unoccupied every so often.
A sturdy, locking rural mailbox offers the ideal solution for keeping mail safe and eliminating the threat of stolen items in most situations. Constructed in a durable polyethylene plastic, wood or steel, a lockable mailbox is weather resistant (rain and snow), impact resistant, and waterproof all in a single compact package.
The actual mail slot is unlocked, so no different to a normal mailbox for a postal worker delivering the daily mail. All mail falls down into a angled chute to the bottom of a secure chamber, to rest safely out of reach of prying eyes. Now on that next visit to the mailbox it’s a simple case of unlocking the lower storage area using a key to retrieve all items of mail.
Lockable residential mailboxes can accept 2,000 cubic inches of storage space in some cases. So enough space to hold several day's worth of post for somewhere that receives a lot of mail to much longer for a small family. With an ability to hold all standard sized mail, as well as larger-sized items of post.
Installing a mailbox is a simple case of mounting on a post or attaching to wall. A simple project to take on for all those handymen with competent skills in installing DIY home security systems. If mounting to a wooden stake or an outside brick wall it's often a necessity to seal screwholes on the rear of the box with a silicone to avoid leaks and soggy mail.
One popular option is the Solar Group lockable mailbox series featuring a heavy-duty steel construction mail box, with internal locking mechanism, a rust resistant finish, a choice of decorative trims, and all approved by the United States Postal Service (USPS).
Locking mail boxes, in a choice of appealing designs, offer that extra layer of protection for all items of mail in a compact sized box, all away from the prying eyes of a would-be thief. These boxes are designed to withstand numerous acts of vandalism, as well as being fade, peel, and rust-resistant. A truly cost-effective deterrent for securing mail for businesses and private residences alike.
