Locking mailboxes to keep your mail more secure

If theft of mail is and issue this locking mail box will answer any of your concerns with vandalism. Lockable boxes are an ideal choice for businesses needing a secure mail receptacle that will also accept small parcels. They are also a more secure way to receive your bundled deliveries, prescription drug bottles and small parcels.

Fortunately there are a few styles to choose from so you can match these with the look of your home or office. You can use any of these for residential or commercial mail delivery.  They are designed to provide you with security for your mail and small parcels. 

Locking wall mounted mailboxes will have a slot at the top in which the postal carrier will slide the mail through.  When you get home, you unlock it to receive the mail from the container box.

According to our supplier these three are the most popular for residential areas that need more mail security.

Most post mounted boxes are set street side to accommodate mail carriers using postal trucks. Some can be set closer to the home for walking routes. Post mailboxes are typically larger in size than wall-mounted boxes. This is ideal for larger families or homes that receive more mail or multiple magazines.

This USPS mailbox is perfect for all installation options, including curbside installations. Approved by the United States Postal Service, it is designed for limited curbside service delivery. This lockable mailbox can be easily attached to a wall, fence, or a matching mailbox stand, which comes separately.

Buying Tips

Measurement is first.

You will want to ensure that the type you are looking at will actually fit.  The ones that attach to a post are not the concern here, but the ones that mount to the house or townhouse sometimes need to fit into a smaller area and therefore make sure that the dimensions are good for where you have in mind.

Style design and color is next.

You will want it to fit into the décor and styling that you have created.  You may want one that is bright and funky and everyone who walks to your door will notice it.  Or you may want one that is more subtle and blends into the color and is not so noticeable.
