USPS Approved Residential, Rural, Home & Commercial Locking Mail Boxes

What are some of the requirements for a USPS approved residential mailbox?

The United States Postal Service has certain specifications that they require all residential mailboxes to follow in order for them to deliver mail to it. Here are a few things that a residential mailbox must follow in order to be USPS approved:


Curbside mailboxes must be of one of three sizes.
Small mailboxes (T1) are five inches wide, six inches tall and 18 ½ inches long.
Medium mailboxes (T2) are six inches wide, seven inches tall and 19 inches long.
Large mailboxes (T3) are eight inches wide, 11 ½ inches tall and 22 ½ inches long.
Curbside mailboxes need to have their post located six to eight inches from the curb and 42-46 inches high measured from the lawn to the top of the mailbox. Posts with a vertical arm cannot extend six inches from the curb.


A mailbox that can lock must have a large enough slot to be able to hold the family’s daily mail volume. The USPS will not open a locked mailbox and will not accept a key.
Private carriers can deliver newspapers in receptacles if the receptacle:
Does not touch the mailbox

Does not cover a mailbox flag or interfere with the USPS delivering mail does not extend past the front of the mailbox when the door is closed.
