Heavy Duty Break-Away Steel Post for Your Indestructible Mailbox

Heavy Duty Break-Away Steel Post with Surface Mount

$0.00

Fort Knox Mailboxes can be mounted to almost any type of post that is made out of most structural materials. Our mailboxes come with four holes drilled in the bottom of the mailbox for easy mounting to multiple surfaces. They are especially easily mounted to our posts. With two styles to choose from, this surface mount option is made for mounting on an existing cement slab or sidewalk. Unlike our other in-ground post, this post is made for above the surface. Depending upon what size of mailbox you have, will determine the length of the post you need to reach the proper USPS height requirement. Let us know if this is to be mounted on a curb or surface mounted so we can give you the closest required height possible.

The post comes separate from the mailbox and is bolted from underneath with carriage bolts. This is ideal if you move, and want to take the mailbox with you instead of pulling the steel post out of the concrete. Posts are made of 11 gauge square tubing (11 gauge = 1/8″) with 3/16″ steel plates.

Hardware is included for mounting the mailbox to the steel post, but not included for mounting to the sidewalk or cement slab due to many different types of hardware available. Talk to your local hardware store to see what is the recommended type of hardware for your installation.

When Will Your Mailbox Ship?

Because of custom options, we don't keep a huge inventory of mailboxes. If your mailbox is in stock, it will ship within a few days. Otherwise, here are our average shipping times*:

Smaller Mailboxes (M1-LT, Small & Large): 1-2 weeks
Larger Mailboxes (Fortress, Vacationer, Senator & Package box): 2-3 weeks
The Vaults & CBUs: 4-6 weeks
Smaller accessories ship within 2-3 days
Custom Colors will add 1 week to the above time frames
Extra keys can take 7-10 days for delivery

*Larger quantities or custom orders will take longer.

Most Products Ship FedEx

Our mailboxes except for the Package Box & Vaults, and accessories ship FedEx.

If you order a quantity of 4 or more larger items (Mailboxes and Posts), your order will ship FedEx.

Shipping for FedEx can be calculated at checkout. If the total weight of your order is higher than what FedEx allows, the freight option will appear. If that happens, we will call and finalize the cost for freight shipping once your order has been placed.

Large Items & Larger Quantities Ship Freight

Our Package Box, All Vaults, and Racks must ship freight.

Order quantities of 4 or more mailboxes will ship freight. One exception is the M1-LT -- we've shipped 10 FedEx ground and it's cheaper than freight.

The T-Post for 3 generally ships freight. We can make the T-Post for 3 in two pieces (Not all welded together) and ship it FedEx ground if you want. We do this often, but it's after asking your opinion.
