8 Door Cluster Mailbox By Patricia Holland At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The 8 Door Cluster Mailbox is a US Postal Service approved commercial mailbox for use with office buildings, mini-malls, townhomes, apartments, and other residential locations. This mailbox provides a central and secure location for receiving and sending mail. These mailboxes are very popular with builders, architects, and home owner associations that wish to add a bit of elegance and “curb appeal” to a property. This type of mailbox is also referred to as a “cluster mailbox,” “cluster box unit,” and / or CBU. Its primary characteristics are that it is free standing with multiple compartments that will service multiple users. It is available in different sizes and configurations as well as colors. This mailbox is also designed to accept parcels via larger parcel doors.

The 8 Door Cluster Mailbox is an excellent choice for residential applications because they can be located closer to the users’ doors. They are made from very durable materials and will outlast more traditional mailbox units. In addition, the 8 door configuration can be mixed and matched with 12, 13, and 16 door units to achieve a desired number of mailboxes. The mailboxes are available in sandstone, black, gray, green, white and bronze colors.

The 8 Door Cluster Mailbox is constructed from heavy duty aluminum with stainless steel components. The mailbox is then covered with a powder coat for longevity and attractiveness. A finish of powder coat is much more durable than a traditional liquid “paint job” and has a longer life. The powder coating is applied by giving the object to be painted an electrical charge and then giving the powder coating (paint) an opposite electrical charge. This creates an extremely strong bond between the coating and the metal and the coating is harder and thicker than conventional paint. During the coating process the object is usually cured under heat to form a “skin” that is very smooth and virtually flawless. Powder coating has other advantages. It is a more “eco-friendly” substance because it emits very little or no volatile organic compounds. In addition, powder coating produces less hazardous waste and the overspray or excess coating can be reused. The aluminum body, stainless steel components, and powder coated finish assure that these mailboxes will last many decades with maintenance free performance.

The front of the 8 Door Cluster Mailbox is designed to be opened by the Postal carrier. This gives the carrier easy entrance and delivery using only one key. The lock and key that are used to open the mailbox are owned by the local Post Office and it is their responsibility to install the lock. When the mailbox owner has purchased the cluster mailbox then he/she should contact the local Post Office to arrange for lock installation. All cluster mailboxes come with individual keys for the individual compartments. In the event that an individual loses all of his/her keys then the facility manager or owner can have the lock rekeyed.

There are a number of options available for purchasers of the 8 Door Cluster Mailbox. The individual doors can be identified with standard placards with standard numbers or with custom numbering. Custom engraving on each door with custom numbering is also available. A roof cap with ball finial is available as a decorative option for those who wish to add a bit more elegance to their property. It is secured directly on top of the mailbox unit. In addition, a decorative post base and decorative post column are available to “encompass” the pedestal and give the entire unit a more elegant appearance. All of the decorative accessories are made of 100% cast aluminum and are available in sandstone, bronze and black colors.

The 8 Door Cluster Mailbox will give any property owner an attractive first impression of his/her property and will guarantee that the mail is safe. And the color and elegance of these mailboxes will complement the landscape of any location.
