Here are the mailboxes that started it all! These not so "Standard" mailboxes can be distinguished from our other mailboxes because they have only one lockable bottom door with an above open incoming mail slot. These mailboxes can be ordered as a "Single Service" mailbox, or you can add outgoing mail capability. When the outgoing mail option (which includes a flag) is added, mail is placed on a shelf between the locked door and the incoming slot. To get a better idea of how this works, take a look at our diagrams below. Differences between the Large and Small standard mailboxes include mail storage capacity (+2"H +2"W +2"D), and size of the post (4"x4" steel post for Small Standard / 5" x 5" steel post for the Large Standard). A flag and outgoing capability can be added to both of these mailboxes for an additional cost. Both Standard mailboxes are made of the same 1/4" steel shell with 3/16" reinforced doors as is true with all our mailboxes. The pictures below accurately represent what we are currently manufacturing and what you can expect to receive.
HOW
THEY WORK:
The mail-carrier inserts the incoming mail into the slot (9.5"W or 11.5"W x 1.75"H). Outgoing mail rests below the incoming slot with an optional outgoing mail capability added. Although there is no door concealing the outgoing mail like our other mailbox models, outgoing mail is still available. (See our cutaway view to see an explanation of how this works). The body of the mailbox has an overhang that will provide protection from vandalism and rain. The door is held closed with an included 7 pin tubular pick-proof lock and incoming mail will rest behind this locked door after the mail-carrier drops it in the slot.
