FAQs
Does this mailbox fit standard A4 letters?
Yes, the letter slot is specifically designed to accommodate standard A4-sized letters and magazines.
How many keys are included?
The post box comes with two keys as standard.
Is the box completely waterproof?
It is designed to be highly weather-resistant and waterproof to protect mail from standard rainfall.
Can I mount this on a fence?
Yes, as long as the fence is stable and provides a flat surface to support the weight of the steel construction.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Please check your specific package contents, as mounting hardware requirements vary depending on your wall type.
Troubleshooting
The key is stiff or hard to turn
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock mechanism to ease the movement of the pins.
Water appears inside the box
Check that the unit is mounted flush against the wall and the door gasket is not obstructed by debris.
The drop-down door is catching
Verify the unit is mounted perfectly level, as any skew can cause the door hinges to misalign.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the post box, ensure you have a flat, stable mounting surface. Use appropriate screws and wall plugs suitable for your specific wall material (brick, concrete, or wood). Align the mounting holes on the back of the unit, level it, and secure it firmly in place. Compatibility is excellent for residential exterior walls, provided the surface is wide enough to accommodate the footprint of the box. To maintain the finish and structural integrity, clean the steel exterior periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the protective powder coating. During extreme weather events, you may want to ensure the keyhole is clear of debris to prevent lock jamming.
