Big on Security. Built for Everything.

The Senator is a powerhouse mailbox: 148 pounds of ¼” steel, recessed doors, and reinforced protection for both mail and packages. It combines the proven design of our Fortress Mailbox with a separate lockable package compartment below. From checks and prescriptions to online orders, everything stays secure in one rugged unit. Yes, it’s hefty—but still ships via Ground.

Inspired by a Great Idea — From a Real Senator

One of our customers, a former Senator, asked if we could tweak the Fortress design to include a package section. We loved the idea—and the Senator Mailbox was born. Today, it’s a favorite among folks who want no-compromise security for every kind of delivery.

Meets all USPS Requirements

Description

This is How It Works!

The Senator has three sections.

  1. The upper section has an unlocked door, for the mail carrier to pull down on the handle and insert your mail into the mail slot. Right below the incoming mail slot is an outgoing mail shelf, (completely enclosed and separate from the incoming area). Your outgoing mail cannot be locked by postal standards, but it’s out of sight, behind a door. Please see the cutaway diagram below. The Senator comes with a Flag.
  2. The middle section has a locked door. It’s where you’ll retrieve your incoming mail. It will always be safe, protected, and waiting for you. You are the only one with a key!
  3. The lower section comes with a Slam Lock to accommodate bigger packages. Just leave the lower door slightly ajar each day after removing your packages, and the mail carrier will insert new packages and shut the door, which automatically locks it. This lower section will hold a large shoe box sized package.

The Senator 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.

It comes with our amazing, thick powder-coating finish to combat all the elements.

  1. Paul S.

    Thank you again for manufacturing such a wonderful product. This mailbox can only be described as, “Extreme Quality.”

  2. Brant B.

    We love our new Senator mailbox. I wanted to attach (4) pictures showing our installation method. I built a frame so (4) people could pick it up together and set it on the pole. It worked great. No hurt backs. Thanks for building a great product

    Somebody tried to steal my mailbox last week. They started by ramming into it with a pickup truck & managed only a small dent in the stand, but a big dent in their truck. Next, they used a cargo strap to wrap around it to pull it out of the ground, & the cement finally gave way. The beauty of this incident is that, by that time, my dogs started barking & it chased them away. We kept the nearly new cargo strap!

    The mailbox looks a little worse for wear & I have to get new numbers, but I’m glad I still have a mailbox!

    Thanks for best built mailbox ever!

  4. Ron

    The mailbox came last week and I was able to install it today. The hole pattern worked out perfectly. Thank you for such a superior product

  5. John K.

    I am a customer of your’s and I would like to thank you for building such a great product.
    I have enclosed some photos of a miss hap that happened yesterday, The car was totally obliterated and the mailbox
    hardly had a scratch, the car was on top of the mailbox and never it never collapsed.

    5 years later and I still turn to look at it.

    I purchased one of your mailboxes 3 years ago. Each of my neighbors have spent at least as much money on “fortifying” off the shelf boxes. Each of my neighbors also continuously have their boxes broken into. There are crowbar marks on my box but not even the slightest dentin the door. This box is built like “Fort Knox” indeed. Now I need to purchase another larger box for packages. I’m going to purchase the XL Vault.
    Thank you for providing piece of mind for my remote mail delivery. You folks are the best!

  8. Bill and Jill

    Thank you for your after the sale services. That separates great companies, products, and staff from all the mediocre ones out in this marketing environment one has to deal with on a daily basis. My wife and I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas as well as a safe Happy New Year. We hope you have many more decades of producing a premium quality product and matching after the sale service. sincerely,
    Bill and Jill

    This is my second order and have purchased 3 of these mailboxes. (We are moving and leaving our “Senator” for the next owner, the “Vacationer” will be at our new home, and the third box is for my rural ranch rental property).

    I am so impressed with the handling of our order. Everything arrived perfectly; all items were well packaged and the order was handled quickly. Thank you for your consistent quality, both in product and handling of our order. The extra Medeco keys arrived the next day. We could not be more pleased and as others have said, your products are works of art. Our “old” Senator box is oiled regularly (as you recommend) and looks like we purchased it yesterday!

    Appreciate the update. The post will likely arrive tomorrow. This box is for our dream home, which probably won’t be done until early next year. We just wanted to gather some things in advance. At least we will NEVER have to worry about the safety of our mail thanks to you and your product. Also, I am so glad to be able to support an American manufacturer that still builds things in the USA

    Sincerely,
    David W

    Well it arrived at 9:30 this morning. Late Tuesday shipment arrived in Seattle Friday morning. No visible damage to shipping boxes. After much huffing and puffing I got it out of the box and all looks well. One key was missing but that was noted as a separate shipment on the invoice.
    The FedEx guy actually carried it to my door and offered to help get it inside. A tough little guy. I declined and got my dolly as there was no way I could just pick it up like he did.
    After I get the post installed, and the cement sets up, I will definitely get help setting the box on top.

    Thanks
    Carl

  15. Steve

    Thank you,

    I’m glad to see someone in this country still does quality work. I received your unit Friday P.M. I went outside to haul the box in but it was to heavy for me with my two canes. Instead of hauling it, I dragged it in. What a wonderful mail box. Your packing was supreme—not a dent anywhere nor a scratch, and thanks for the sticker.

    I see that you have four holes in the bottom. I’m afraid this mailbox would soon catch the eyes of thieves and they would be bound to try and remove it from my new filled pilaster column. I’ll make a template and see how it fits on the pilaster. May need to make the anchors deeper and install a pipe over the threads. I can think of many options, like a SOLAR FLASHING LIGHT atop the unit activated by anyone of the two lower doors, and a REMOTE FIVE-TEN SECOND ALARM installed inside the house. At any rate, I’m sure once this is mounted it will be tested by today’s idiots. My house cameras will catch that.

    I cannot tell you how happy I am with the quality workmanship you produced. Maybe a tear gas canister inserted for those who would want to damage your beautiful work. I’ll have my little dog keep an eye on the unit.

    – Steve

    It went kind of like this.
    First we decided we needed a new mail box see 201 JPG.
    Then we decided we wanted a mail box that a tank could not damage see234 JPG.
    Then we get the family approval see 1098 JPG.
    The decision was it is awesome.
    Thanks

    I got my Senator a few months ago and am happy with it. In fact I just recommended i9t on the Port Orchard Crime Watch page. You have a great productand it’s worth every penny I paid.

    Hi there. I thought you’d appreciate this photo. We live in East Napa, and were in the path of the Napa Atlas fire. That is our Fort Know mailbox in the picture still standing next to our neighbors’ mailboxes that aren’t. We bought and installed it a few years ago after our former mailbox kept getting broken into. Thanks!
