Introduction to Post Mount Mailboxes

Post mount mailboxes are installed on a single or dual post, typically near the curb or driveway edge. They're designed for easy mail access by postal workers and homeowners alike. In suburban neighborhoods like Pflugerville, this style is often preferred for its simplicity, durability, and wide range of design options.

These mailboxes are usually made of heavy-duty materials like galvanized steel or rust-resistant aluminum. Whether you need one for a new construction, replacing a damaged one, or upgrading to a more stylish version, post mount mailboxes are a flexible and affordable choice for individual residences.

Why Choose a Post Mount Mailbox

Post mount mailboxes provide easy access for daily mail retrieval and are highly visible to postal carriers, ensuring reliable delivery. They work well in both suburban and rural settings and are a great solution for homes that don’t use centralized cluster boxes.

They’re also customizable—giving homeowners the ability to choose everything from color and finish to locking mechanisms and decorative posts. This makes them a perfect blend of security and curb appeal. Plus, installation and replacement can be handled quickly by a professional technician.

Common Post Mount Mailbox Models

  • Elektra Locking Mailbox – A secure, locking mailbox designed for homeowners who want added protection from mail theft. Great for areas with rising identity fraud risks.
  • Gibraltar Elite Series – One of the most common models used across Texas, known for its rust-resistant body and traditional design. Ideal for standard curb installations.
  • Mail Boss Package Master – Heavy-duty security mailbox that offers anti-theft features and ample storage for small parcels. Popular in neighborhoods with frequent package deliveries.

Tools and Materials Needed for Installation

To install a post mount mailbox properly, you'll need:

  • Mailbox and compatible mounting post
  • Concrete or fast-setting cement for stability
  • Level and measuring tape
  • Drill and exterior screws
  • Protective sealant (optional for weatherproofing)

Our team brings all tools necessary for any mailbox installation, ensuring every setup meets USPS height and setback guidelines.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Installing a post mount mailbox involves more than just placing a box on a pole. Here’s how we handle it:

  1. We help you choose a location that complies with USPS guidelines (typically 41–45 inches from ground to mail slot and 6–8 inches back from curb).
  2. We dig a hole approximately 20–24 inches deep for the post.
  3. The post is secured in concrete and leveled while the concrete cures.
  4. Once solid, we attach the mailbox using mounting brackets or direct screws, depending on the design.
  5. We test alignment, door swing, and security features like locks or hinges before we finish up.

Our installations are always done to last, even in heavy rain or Texas heat.

Common Post Mount Mailbox Issues

Here in Pflugerville, we frequently see several mailbox problems:

  • Rust and corrosion on metal surfaces due to moisture exposure
  • Mailbox doors no longer closing securely or falling open
  • Loose posts from shifting ground or vehicle bumps
  • Lock jams or missing keys, especially with older lockboxes

If you're experiencing any of these, check out our mailbox lock repair options or schedule a same-day service call with our mobile technician.

Repair Services We Offer

We offer full-service repairs for post mount mailboxes across Pflugerville. Whether you have a bent door, a broken lock, or a mailbox that’s fallen over completely, we’re equipped to fix it fast and on-site.

Our mobile repair services include:

  • Lock replacements and duplicate key cuts – see key duplication options
  • Replacing mounting hardware, damaged hinges, or broken flag indicators
  • Reinforcing posts or re-securing with new concrete

When to Replace vs. Repair

Sometimes a repair is a temporary fix, and a replacement is the smarter long-term move. If your mailbox is badly rusted, unstable at the base, or fails to close, we often recommend installing a new unit.

We’ll give you an honest opinion and offer replacement options during your service visit. We carry several models in our mobile service van so we can often do same-day installs.

Compliance with USPS and Local Regulations

All our post mount mailbox installations follow USPS placement regulations. That includes the proper height, distance from the street, and secure access for carriers.

We also ensure Pflugerville local code compliance, so your mailbox installation won’t result in HOA violations or city citations. Ask us during your service call if you need help choosing a model that meets community requirements.

Available Styles and Customization Options

Post mount mailboxes come in a wide range of designs. Whether you’re going for a rustic look, modern lines, or something decorative, there’s a mailbox style to match your home’s exterior.

Some of the customization options we offer include:

  • Custom post finishes (wood, painted metal, or vinyl wraps)
  • Personalized address plaques
  • Locking vs. non-locking designs
  • Decorative flag options

If you'd rather wall mount your box, see our wall-style mailbox install options. We also handle cluster mailbox installations for shared residences.
