Jan 22, 2015 The post is delivered to all flats via the communal door. Once I even caught a neighbour “accidentally” taking my post away with them. Now what are the responsibilities for the landlord here. Firstly with regards to the security for post and secondly with regards to security for the building as a whole? The Apartment Module Mailbox is designed to be used in the lobby of multi occupancy areas such as flats and apartment blocks. The Apartment Module Custom Mailboxes are easily fitted side by side or on top of each other to create one single unit. Individual multi occupancy boxes are a fantastic and extremely cost effective way of producing your own mailbox bank. They are supplied individually to be installed by the customer either side by side and/or on top of each other to form whatever configuration you require. There are no casing, master lock, engraving or any other options available for these boxes unlike the fully built mailbox.

No two projects are ever the same: whether it be an externally located bank for a block of apartments by the sea, where air salinity will be an issue, or a specialist paint finish to match a particular internal wall colour, we have the right solution for you.
More often than not communal letterboxes for apartments tend to be located in an internal lobby area, nearby to the main building entrance. With a choice of finishing surrounds available, our banks of assembled mailboxes can be face fixed to an internal wall (also known as wall mounted or on-wall) or free standing on their own support legs or frame structure. In our opinion however, a bank of communal post boxes always looks best when recessed into a stud or false wall. With a 20mm or 40mm recess trim surround or flange, it gives the look of a well thought out reception area.

Wall Recessed Mailboxes
Wall recessing mailboxes allows for a flush fitting with the installation wall but prior work must be carried out to accommodate the mailboxes in the wall. Wall recessing communal postboxes allows for more space in the lobby area and will not obstruct a fire evacuation route.
Mailboxes can also be partially recessed into the wall, reducing the amount of mailbox protruding from the wall but catering for walls with a restricted depth. Both horizontal and vertical mailboxes are available to suit different wall depths.

Through The Wall Mailboxes
Many clients require banks of through the wall mailboxes for in front / out back processing of mail from an external to internal location. This is a popular choice for communal properties where the front entrance door is securely locked and the management do not want to provide an entry key or code to the postal delivery worker. The postal delivery worker will deposit the mail items into the external side of the mailbox which securely stores the deposited items until the recipient retrieves them on the internal side of the mailbox.
Clients commonly combine through the wall communal mailboxes with an already integrate door entry system, allowing for postage of mail and securing the property entrance at the same time. Door entry systems can be provided by us here at The Safety Letterbox Company or feature cut-outs can be accommodated into the panel for retrospective installation on location.
