Even a quick glance at office mail centers and apartment mailboxes reveals that they are very different from the boxes used for mail delivery to houses.  Houses have either a box mounted on pole, or they have a mail box on the side of the wall near the door.   Commercial mailboxes are very different.  They feature a number of characteristics that are designed to accommodate the needs of their environment. 

As soon as apartments began to become common, and large office buildings began to climb toward the sky, it became necessary to find ways to create mail delivery units that would consolidate space, endure repetitive use, provide security to users, and to accommodate the very way the building was constructed. 

Wall space conservation is important in even the largest of buildings and complexes.  With multiple offices or living units, building walls must foremost serve the housing needs of the structure.  Typically, office mail centers and apartment mailboxes are mounted in rows or configurations of rows and columns in a designated portion of a single wall.  The size, nature, positioning, and loading mechanisms of these units vary widely based upon the number of users that access them, the types of mail most often delivered, and the status of the building as a new construction or a remodel.    

Security is always ensured with a lock that a user and the mail carrier accesses with a key.  Aside from this, and the fact that most of these units are made out of aluminum, the dimensions and the arrangements of office mail centers and apartment mailboxes can be so variable that the mind can stagger at all the choices available. 

Let us recommend the best office mail centers and apartment mailboxes, and let us help you configure them as well.  We can match different vertical or horizontal mailboxes to the amount of users versus available wall space in your building or unit.   We can also help you determine if recessed units or surface mounted units are best suited to new constructions or remodels for which you are responsible. 

There are also two different methods of loading office mail centers and apartment mailboxes.  Some models load from the front and do not need a mail room or corridor like those that load from the rear.  Rear loading units, however, are often needed when there are large numbers of users, and when wall space is tight.
