Installing a mailbox shouldn’t be a weekend project. We've incorporated ease of installation features into the design of all of our locking mailboxes.
What makes a mailbox easy to install?
Ease of installation refers to how easy a mailbox is to install. Mail Boss mailboxes can be installed on a wood post, a metal post, a Mail Boss post, a wood plank, in a column, or a variety of other applications.
When installing mailboxes, you usually work from inside the confines of the box to attach the mailbox to a mounting surface, like a post. There are various ways that make this more or less difficult. The size of the box is a factor as well. Ultimately, the limiting factor is that you must use your own tools inside of the mailbox.
Best: Mail Boss & Package Master
The Mail Boss and Package models both feature the exclusive, patented, Fast-Trak Mounting Plate. No other mailbox can be installed as easily as these.
Installing the Mail Boss Curbside or a Package Master with the use of a Fast-Trak Mounting Plate is a simple three-step process:
1. Unlock the mailbox.
Unlock the mailbox. Remove the two machine screws connecting the mailbox to the Fast-Trak Mounting Plate. Slide the mounting plate off of the mailbox.
2. Attach the Fast-Track plate.
Attach the Fast-Trak Mounting Plate using the four bolts provided to your mounting surface of choice using any of the holes in the mounting plate.
3. Slide in the mailbox.
Slide the mailbox onto the mounting plate and secure the mailbox to the plate using the two machine screws behind the locking access door.
If this sounds complicated, trust us: it’s not! Once you are finished installing a mailbox with the Fast-Trak Design you'll think, “Wow, that was easy!”
Great: Mail Manager
The Mail Manager does not include the Fast-Trak, so it is a little more difficult to install. However, it still includes some features that make it easier to install than your run-of-the mill mailbox.
The Mail Manager comes with a floor liner that displays an example of the hole pattern drilled into the bottom of the mailbox. You can select your hole pattern and pre-drill your holes without working inside of the box. Finally, use the four mounting bolts provided with the Mail Manager to install your mailbox onto your mounting surface of choice.
