More Information And How They Work:
The mail carrier inserts your incoming mail into the open slot at the top (9.5” W x 1.75” H). It drops down into the locked compartment. You will be the only one with a key! Your mail will be waiting inside, safe.
The Small Standard is pre-drilled on the bottom. 4 holes, 5 ¾” apart, and designed to fit our Small Posts. It can also be mounted on existing posts and surfaces.
The Small Standard has our amazing, thick powder-coating finish to combat all the elements.
This is a “limited service” locking mailbox, meaning it’s for incoming mail only. The outgoing mail is an option. When the outgoing mail option is requested, a flag is added along with a small slot beneath the incoming mail slot. This outgoing mail slot will allow for 1-4 envelopes. We recommend if the mail is important, to take it to a locked outgoing box as your outgoing mail cannot be locked up.
Outgoing mail rests below the incoming slot. Although there is no door concealing the outgoing mail like some of our other models, outgoing mail is still available. You will need to leave your outgoing mail sticking out about an inch for the mail carrier to be able to take (see our cutaway view for an explanation of how this works).
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 and incoming mail will rest behind this locked door after the mail carrier drops it in the slot.
