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!

Eight years ago, I was plagued by kids pounding my mailbox with bats during baseball season. After replacing several boxes and much expense, it was time to look for a long term alternative. I found you! Of course, shortly after my new Ft Knox Box was first installed, it was tested (as evident by some wood splinters) yet came through with flying colors…and probably broke some idiot’s wrist, arm and shoulder. This weekend, though, my noble mailbox had its ultimate test: Some Einstein shot it with a shotgun!
Yes, the paint job was damaged, as were its house numbers, but that shotgun blast was no match for your 1/4″ thick steel! Thanks again for a first-rate, excellent Made in the USA product!

Called today to request “Fort Knox Mailbox” replacement stickers for our mailbox. We installed this mailbox not long after we moved into this home almost 20 years ago. It was a “developed farm” and the locals were not inclined to stop using our three wooded acres as their beer party venue. When my son and I challenged them, they responded by knocking over the original wood post mounted mailbox. At that point, we bought our Fort Knox, and have not had an issue since!
You’re awesome! Thank you!!

Hello, I just received (2) of your Fortress Boxes. These were definitely worth the wait! I am confident these will be our “forever” mailboxes. I really appreciate your company delivering premium quality and going to this level with the details. I am sometimes a difficult customer, but everything (including the packaging) was over the top. I will recommend your products whenever I have the chance. Thank you

The last box I purchased and installed got destroyed in less than a year, so I resolved to find a mailbox that could actually survive a bit of punishment. I ended up picking out The Fortress.
Some fool just hit this box hard enough to completely obliterate their entire side-view mirror assembly (glass was completely shattered and only held together by the backing, and the plastic housing was in shards all over my driveway.) The Fortress, by comparison… is missing a small section of powdercoat, and stands ramrod straight as always. *Thank you* for making exactly what I needed. –

Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing mailbox. In the picture you can see they did not get into my mailbox so again thank you and my neighbors are asking what it is so I’m sending them your way. Thanks for the quality American made product.

I wanted a mailbox that would hit back if someone tried to take a bat to it, and this certainly fits the bill!

Last month I sent you a photo of my Ft. Knox Mailbox that was ‘attacked’ by a shotgun-toting idiot. Just wanted you to know my box is repainted, re-lettered and back on post. Learned from my postal carrier that others on my highway with those big-box cast aluminum mailboxes didn’t do as well. Those owners found their mailboxes in tiny pieces…only the post remained.
The mail carrier was so impressed by your design, she has been spreading the word and so if you see a spike in sales from this area.
Best regards,
Nick T.

Great mailbox. I recommend it 100%. Very sturdy and secure.
Amy B. –
This has worked great. Heavy duty. For the first time I have felt ok with leaving the mail out for a night.
Jay G. –

Sledge hammer proof. Probably truck proof.

Amazing quality and durability. Really impressed with this family run business and love the mailbox design and knowing it can withstand anything thrown at it (literally!).

Fort Knox Mailbox is a great family owned business with a great product. The mailbox is very well put together with an attention to detail. There are also a lot of fun colors to pick from. Worth the investment.

The owners at Fort Knox run this business with such integrity. They want to help you get exactly what’s best for you instead of just trying to make sales. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone.

My Fort Knox mailbox from 2012 survived by neighbors SUV running over it and suspending the car in mid-air until a tow truck came. If this mailbox can survive a 2 1/2 ton SUV, it can survive anything. I have since ordered a new post to replace the original CBC block structure and will be using the same Fort Knox standard 1/4” steel small mailbox on top. Before and after pics included.

We’ve owned two Fort Knox mailboxes for two different homes. We felt it increased the value of the first home and left…

This is the best and most well made steel mailbox you can buy. Their mailboxes are 100% strong and secure. Ordering is easy and the customer service, should you need it, is exceptional.
