Community Mailboxes & Apartment Mailboxes

Types of Apartment and Community Mailboxes

We offer a variety of apartment and community mailboxes ranging from outdoor pedestal units to recessed horizontal units. Details for each of these options are listed below.

Enhancing Neighborhood Mailbox Security

Locking cluster mailboxes in neighborhoods, apartment buildings, condominiums, and other multi-unit residential properties are the optimal solution for safeguarding mail. Distinct keys maintain mail security, deterring outsiders and potential mail thieves while granting access solely to the mail carrier.

USPS Guidelines for Neighborhood Cluster Mailboxes

Placement and Accessibility

The United States Postal Service (USPS) requires neighborhood cluster mailboxes to be situated in a centralized location that is easily accessible for mail carriers. Proper placement ensures efficient mail delivery and collection while adhering to USPS regulations.

Installation Standards

USPS mandates that neighborhood mailboxes follow specific installation standards. These guidelines include mailbox height, distance from the curb, and mailbox support structures. Adhering to these standards guarantees that the mailboxes comply with USPS requirements and provide a consistent appearance within the community.

Maintenance and Repair

Neighborhood mailbox owners are responsible for maintaining and repairing their mailboxes, ensuring they remain in good working condition. This includes addressing any damage, wear, tear, or malfunctioning locks. Proper maintenance guarantees the ongoing security and functionality of the neighborhood mailboxes.

Outdoor Pedestal Cluster Mailboxes

The cluster mailbox is our most common product for customers purchasing centralized mailboxes for apartment complexes or residential communities. Considered the standard in mail security, the outdoor pedestal CBU is pre-approved by the USPS and is relatively easy to install. Also, at a price that can go as low as $71.00 per door, the CBU is the best value apartment mailbox we sell.

Recessed Indoor/Outdoor Cluster Mailboxes (4C Horizontal Mailboxes)

Recessed 4C horizontal mailboxes are the industry standard for apartment complexes where a cluster mailbox must either be installed in a building lobby or outside in a postal kiosk. If purchased with surface mount collars, these units can be mounted on a wall without being recessed -- just make sure the installation meets your local post office's specifications. These units can also be recessed into a wall outside of a building. Below are some photos of different types of 4C mailbox installations:

4B Horizontal and 4B Vertical Mailboxes (for replacing existing units)

Our customers typically purchase the 4B mailbox to replace existing units -- this is referred to as a retrofit installation. Even so, to be on the safe side, you will need USPS approval prior to purchase and installation. If your apartment complex already uses 4B mailboxes to supply mail for tenants, then you may simply want to purchase 4B mailbox replacements unless you are remodeling your complex to meet new standards. If you are remodeling, you will want to go with the 4C mailbox since it is the current USPS standard. Contact our support team if you have any questions.
