01 The Change

What we changed.

The builder-grade box is just the default that comes with the house. The after is what happens when the mailbox gets the same attention as the door:

  • Proportion. A box sized and set to match the architecture behind it, the two pulling in the same direction.
  • Color. A finish chosen to match the front of the home, here, matte Black against light siding.
  • The build. Heavy-duty galvanized steel construction, stainless steel hinges, a rust-resistant powder-coat finish, weatherproof and worry-proof.
  • The lock. A hidden locking door secures the mail inside, with no industrial, bolted-on look.
