More Information And How They Work:
The mail carrier inserts your incoming mail into the open slot at the top (11.5” W x 1.75” H). The mail drops down into the locked compartment. You are the only one with a key! Your mail awaits you, safe inside.
The Large Standard is pre-drilled on the bottom. 4 holes, 6 ¾” apart, and designed to fit our Large Posts. It can also be mounted to existing surfaces.
The Large Standard has our amazing, thick powder-coating finish to combat all the elements.
The Large Standard is USPS Postmaster General approved.
This is a “Limited Service” Mailbox and set up for incoming mail only. If you need outgoing mail, it is an option, but outgoing mail cannot be locked. When added, this option exposes the mail for the postal carrier to take. It allows for 1-4 envelopes at a time. If you have questions, contact us or view our FAQ page.
Outgoing mail rests below the incoming slot, with an optional outgoing mail capability. Although there is no door concealing the outgoing mail like some of our other mailbox models, outgoing mail is still available.
The body of the mailbox has an overhang that will protect it from vandalism and rain. The door is held closed with an included 7 pin tubular pick-proof lock (upgradable) and incoming mail will rest behind this locked door after the mail carrier drops it in the slot.

I just wanted to let you know that I live in a rural area just outside of LA where there are frequent mailbox thefts. Since my neighbor and I had both of our boxes pried open and mail stolen more than a year ago we decided to purchase your boxes together. Since installing them, we haven’t given a second thought to these crooks. I dare them to try and get into your box! My neighbors regularly report on NextDoor about mail theft, and I recommend and link to your site every time I see a new posting.

Thank you again – I was able to ship them to Hawaii overnight, and they were installed today. We really appreciate the quality, and my thanks to your staff!

Hi, I purchased your large standard box a few years ago because our business street kept getting hit by mail thieves. Last night they struck again, effectively stealing over $3000 in checks from our neighboring businesses. They tried unsuccessfully to get into our box as you can see, but the Fort Knox box did its job! This was well worth the investment and has paid for itself over and over. It just so happened that we had an $11,000 check in our box but the thieves gave up when they realized how tough this box is!! From one business owner to another, I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!

The mailbox came in. Holy cannoli, it surpasses every expectation or hope that I had. The mail box is beautiful and it is so sturdy. My wife and I installed it today and it looks so wonderful.

Someone ran over my mailbox last night (along with my four neighbors). I have one of your large standard mailboxes on one of your posts. The completely destroyed my neighbors boxes and tore mine completely out of the ground flinging it approximately 10 feet away. Other than some scrapes and a tweaked baseplate, the box is undamaged. The door swings normally open closed and I’ll plant it back in the ground this afternoon. I just wanted to say thanks for making such a great product!

I probably over did it with this mailbox considering others in my area have the old flip down type mailboxes, but I just wanted to be sure that if someone were to decide to go around my area and steel mail or take a bat to boxes that they would not be able to get in mine and I would be able to find them because they would be the person who has a fresh cast on their arm. If someone were to be driving by (my mail box is set off the road 10′ so they most likely would not try) and hanging out the window and were to take a swing at this box it would be like driving by the corner of a block building and taking a swing at it. First the steel is about a 1/4″ thick, the quality of the build is very good, the welds are very good and consistent (the welds are on the back plate set in and the bottom – the top edges are rolled over – very clean), the sides, top and bottom are very straight. The powder coating is done very well. overall it is a great quality mailbox, that if you are looking for something a little more secure (trust me I looked at everything in store and online) that you might as well pay a little more (yes these are not hardware store cheap) for a box that is Made In the USA and alleviates any doubt of tampering or destruction. Their product meets their advertising claims now that is refreshing. Oh by the way this is not a paid reply by any means just a very happy customer with a product that met my expectations. Most don’t.

Good, strong mailbox that requires some muscle to install, but worth it.

Late one night in March, a vehicle came around the curve just North of us at a high rate of speed. Slight frost on the road and they spun a 180 into our mailbox on the opposite side of the road, backwards at a minimum of 55 mph. (Speed limit)
Fortunately, we had a break away base at grade level (Road Commision Req.) so when they hit the box and post it broke off as intended. Not a dent or scratch can be seen on the box or post, just a little rough on one edge that we touched up with paint. Pretty sure I can’t say the same for the car. They didn’t stick around so we’ll never know.
Mailbox and Snow Screen are back up. Post Office is happy as are we. Thanks Fort Knox for making a quality product.

In this day and age of sketchy customer service this company is hands-down one of the best ever worked with.
Submitting an incorrect key code for new mailbox keys I was contacted by phone and email by Abigail. Thankfully, I was able to email her and the keys arrived before I knew it (days sooner than I expected).
Thank you to ALL involved you ROCK!!
