Frequently asked questions about the Mailboxes category
What are Mailboxes and what are they used for?
Mailboxes are receptacles for receiving and temporarily storing letters and small parcels; suited for residential homes, apartment entrances and commercial premises. The category includes wall-mounted, freestanding and modular metal or galvanized steel models in various sizes and lock/security options.
Which mailbox types are suitable for apartment entrances?
Apartment entrances commonly use modular or row-mounted mailbox units that combine several compartments into one block. The range includes wall-mounted modules and assemble-yourself sets with locks, sized for standard mail and magazines.
Which materials/coatings are best for an outdoor mailbox?
For outdoor use, metal models such as stainless steel or galvanized and painted steel are recommended for corrosion and weather resistance. The catalogue includes powder-coated and anti-corrosion treated mailboxes for long service life.
What mailbox sizes are available and how to choose by dimensions?
The range includes compact models (around 250x380x100 mm) and larger boxes (e.g. 408x308x150 mm or 365x320x150 mm). Choose by expected mail volume: wider/deeper models for magazines and small parcels, standard sizes suffice for letters.
How do wall-mounted and freestanding mailboxes differ?
Wall-mounted models fix to a wall or fence and save space; ideal for facades and entrances. Freestanding (post) mailboxes mount on a post near gates or driveways and often offer greater capacity and protection.
Do mailbox models have locks and what lock options are offered?
Yes, many models come with cylinder or padlock-ready options; some include a key set (2 keys). There are also reinforced-lock models available for higher security.
Which mailbox to choose without phone linkage (for business)?
For a business address without phone linkage, choose a secure wall-mounted or modular mailbox with a lock and sufficient capacity (e.g. Picardie or Turin style). Ensure a metal anti-corrosion body and key lock for confidentiality.
Which models suit retro / Soviet-era styling?
For retro styling there are antique-finish metal models like TURIN ANTIIKHALL and BRETAGNE/CAMPAGNE series. These decorative metal mailboxes suit period-styled facades.
Are catalogue mailboxes suitable for holding small parcels and online orders?
Yes — there are deeper and wider models (e.g. 365x320x150 mm and 408x308x150 mm) designed for magazines and small parcels. When choosing, check the opening dimensions and a secure lock.
How to create or assemble modular mailboxes?
To create a modular system, select compatible modular sections from the catalogue and join them per manufacturer instructions, using uniform fixings and identical locks for convenience. The range includes ready-made row units and individual modules that combine by width and height.
