Free-Standing Mailboxes

Choosing Free-Standing Mailboxes and Enclosures

Products in this category do not all include the same components. Some listings are complete free-standing mailbox assemblies, while others are pedestal-style or floor-standing enclosures designed to accept a compatible horizontal mailbox module. Confirm what is included with the exact product before ordering so an enclosure is not mistaken for a complete mailbox system.

Compatibility is especially important with enclosure products. Match the enclosure to the specified mailbox series, column width, and configuration. Single- and double-column enclosures have different dimensions and are intended for different mailbox layouts. Review the manufacturer's compatibility information and dimensional drawings before planning the installation space.

Mail delivery requirements also vary. Some mailbox systems are intended for USPS-serviced installations, while others are for private distribution by building staff, businesses, or property managers. Confirm the access designation and any postal requirements that apply to the project before selecting the equipment.

Measure floor area, surrounding clearance, door swing, tenant access space, and the route used to bring the equipment into the building. Free-standing installations also require appropriate anchoring or support according to the product instructions and floor construction.

For replacement or expansion projects, identify the existing mailbox manufacturer and series first. Matching the enclosure, mailbox module, access method, and finish can simplify integration with the rest of the mailroom and help avoid ordering components that do not fit together.
