FAQs

What material is the mailbox made of?

The mailbox is constructed from powder-coated pressed steel and aluminum, designed for durability and weather resistance.

Is the mailbox waterproof?

Yes, the design aims to keep the inside dry with a steel flip cover and protective features, even in heavy rain and strong winds.

How is the mailbox mounted?

It features pre-drilled fixing holes and is designed to be mounted on walls, sheds, gates, or garages using appropriate screws and wall plugs.

Does it come with keys?

Yes, the lockable post box includes two keys for secure access.

What are the dimensions of the mailbox?

The dimensions are 35cm wide x 10cm deep x 35cm high.

Can it accommodate large packages?

It has a large capacity for average mail volumes, including padded envelopes and magazines. Very large or bulky packages may not fit.

Is assembly required?

No assembly is required for the mailbox itself. Mounting hardware (screws and wall plugs) is not included and will need to be sourced separately based on your mounting surface.

Troubleshooting

Mail is getting wet inside the box.

Ensure the lid is fully closed after each mail delivery. Check that the flip cover is properly aligned and the hinges are not obstructed, preventing a tight seal. Inspect for any cracks or damage to the mailbox body.

The lock is stiff or difficult to turn.

Wipe the lock cylinder with a dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. A small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil-based) can be applied to the keyhole to improve smoothness. Ensure the key is fully inserted.

Mail delivery slot is too small for certain items.

This mailbox is designed for standard mail volumes. For larger packages, alternative delivery arrangements may be necessary. The wide slit accommodates most common mail types including padded envelopes and magazines.

The mailbox rattles in the wind.

Ensure the mailbox is securely fastened to the mounting surface. Check that all screws are tight. If the issue persists, consider adding rubber washers between the mailbox and the mounting surface.
