Value is the new smart

I want to explain the value we offer that the average person not in the residential mailbox business woun't know or appreciate. The value I'm referring too is how the products Locking Mailboxes sells and represents offer you better service at less cost than an off the shelf box at the hardware store. In a box you can't see how the mailbox is constructed or remember why your looking at residential mailboxes in the first place. Most people want a strong well made practical box,what it means to me is a secure mailbox . #1 No sharp edges ( won't cut your fingers) #2 No pry points ( makes it harder to brake into) #3 Easy service ( Large entry for carriers,but not too large) #4 Good locks ( Long lasting ) #5 Well designed ( Options front access or Rear if need ) #6 Mounting System ( Strong Post or Multi Mounting) #7 Vandal proof ( Heavy Gauge Construction )
With all these items in mind it's hard to tell or get the right style for your home on a Saturday morning. When all you have to choose from is a black or white old style box.
When you compare our residential or commercial mailboxes you have more options at fair pricing.Making your project more practical and attractive at the same time. I call that value.

Site Fixtures,Home Amenities

Locking Mailboxes has a great selection of site fixtures for homes as well as common areas,of a community. Benches,planters,trash cans and solar lighting for convenience as well as security. Lighting prevents someone from hiding or surprising tenants. A well lit common area around the mail center is the first step in preventing mail theft. A laminated mailbox makes it much easier to insert your key and retrieve the mail. The Sentinel solar lighting puts out a good light with little or No maintenance required.Please visit our web page to see and learn more about these practical and attractive items. Locking Mailboxes has the lowest sale prices on these items and many more.
Residential mailboxes come in many different sizes and shapes. The first qualification of a mailbox should be security, you want one that's a real locked mailbox in more than name. I often see so called secure mailboxes in the local stores and I'm surprised how flimsy their made. Thin gauge steel or aluminum, with a small slot opening that the carrier has to fight to deposit a few letters at a time. So what I'm saying is consider a large enough box to hold all the mail plus some if you do travel out of town on long weekends.Locking Mailboxes residential secure mailboxes are larger than many you will find in hardware stores. Many of our customers now are getting their drugs,medications Thru the mail, visit our letter locker series to see the diagrams of how large an item is accepted.The Supreme Letter Locker will accept a shoe box size item plus more.These also have stronger locks with better designed mechanism's to prevent someone from prying the main door open with a screw driver or pry bar. A strong lock will also last longer especially in a dusty climate.
