Wall Recessed Mailboxes
Wall recessing mailboxes allows for a flush fitting with the installation wall but prior work must be carried out to accommodate the mailboxes in the wall. Wall recessing communal postboxes allows for more space in the lobby area and will not obstruct a fire evacuation route.
Mailboxes can also be partially recessed into the wall, reducing the amount of mailbox protruding from the wall but catering for walls with a restricted depth. Both horizontal and vertical mailboxes are available to suit different wall depths.

Through The Wall Mailboxes
Many clients require banks of through the wall mailboxes for in front / out back processing of mail from an external to internal location. This is a popular choice for communal properties where the front entrance door is securely locked and the management do not want to provide an entry key or code to the postal delivery worker. The postal delivery worker will deposit the mail items into the external side of the mailbox which securely stores the deposited items until the recipient retrieves them on the internal side of the mailbox.
Clients commonly combine through the wall communal mailboxes with an already integrate door entry system, allowing for postage of mail and securing the property entrance at the same time. Door entry systems can be provided by us here at The Safety Letterbox Company or feature cut-outs can be accommodated into the panel for retrospective installation on location.
