Getting reliable mail service depends on several
factors. Mail
boxes must be secure in order to prevent mail theft and
vandalism. Time is another factor. Mail couriers need to be able to keep
pace with their schedule and distribute the mail to the necessary parties on
time.
In areas where there
is a large concentration of people, secure locking community mailboxes are the
best way to accommodate both needs. Individual mail boxes will not work in
such an environment because there simply is not enough time for the carrier to
accurately disseminate the mail to all the necessary parties.
There are two basic
types of secure
locking community mailboxes.
One is designed specifically for commercial space, and the other is
designed for residential use.
Let’s take a look at
the specifics of both types to see how they add value to the communities they
service. Groupings of individual
units range from 6, 10, 14, 18,
20, and 30 boxes per wall configuration.
Units made for
commercial space are configured to save as much wall space as
possible. In ideal situations, they are rear
loading and are operated by the carrier from a room behind the wall. In buildings where there is no such
room, we have surface mounted front loading units that can be substituted for
the standard rear loading models.
One type of
residential secure locking community mailbox configuration is the type used in
apartment communities. This design is intended to mount in the
wall and offer each resident a personal mail box that is highly secure and easy
to reach. Parcels can be placed in
a separate parcel box that keeps them secure until residents pick them up.
Mail
boxes used in apartment buildings are either horizontal or
vertical in nature. Smaller complexes typically prefer the vertical units because they
offer more space for larger envelops and magazines. Vertical units are also front loading,
and mail carriers particularly like this feature because it saves them time when
they have a busy day in front of them.
Larger complexes
typically require horizontal units, however, because of wall space
constraints. Both rear loading and front loading
horizontal units can be purchased from XPB Locker Supply in order to accommodate
any type of building floor plan.
There are also secure
locking community mailboxes that are made specifically for housing
communities. Most of these
communities are located far away from major cities and are inhabited by people
who have paid a lot of money to get away from the rat race. They pay even more money on gas each day
to commute long distances to and from work. These people like their seclusion and
safety, and they expect their mail to be reliably delivered on time in spite of
the great distances they live from urban areas.
Secure locking
community mailboxes that are arranged in clusters on pedestals
are the best way to accommodate this expectation. They eliminate the need for each
resident to have a mail box on a pole in front of their home.
This saves the mail carrier time because he or she does
not have to drive along a long route that often measures over 20 miles total to
deliver mail to each and every household. Pedestal
mailboxes are weather and vandal resistant and also offer the residents who
live in secluded and gated communities a central place to stop on their way home
from work to pick up their mail before driving on to their homes.
