Installing a post mount mailbox might seem simple, but doing it right ensures long-term durability and USPS compliance. Here’s our professional method:
Our technicians follow this process with precision and make necessary adjustments on-site to account for soil type, slope, and wind exposure.
Post mount mailboxes can experience a range of problems, especially with weather, age, and tampering. Common issues include:
We regularly inspect for these problems and recommend appropriate repairs or replacements based on the box’s condition.
At Mailbox Lock Hutto, our mobile team can handle a wide range of post mount mailbox repair services:
We stock parts for common repairs and carry advanced tools to ensure your mailbox is back in top shape fast. If your box is severely damaged, we’ll recommend replacement and help you choose a compliant, stylish new model.
Also explore our mailbox lock replacement options if security is your concern.
Sometimes repairs just aren’t enough. If the mailbox body is cracked, heavily rusted, or the locking system fails repeatedly, replacement may be more cost-effective than frequent fixes. Also, outdated mailboxes may not meet current USPS specs or lack theft protection features.
If you're unsure, we’ll inspect and give you a clear recommendation on whether a repair will last or if it’s time for a full swap. We also assist with secure duplicate mailbox keys if only the lock is compromised.
Every mailbox we install meets USPS standards for height, clearance, and durability. We ensure proper spacing from the curb (6–8 inches) and a height of 41–45 inches from road surface to mailbox bottom.
In Hutto and neighboring communities, local HOA rules may also apply. Our team checks these before any install to avoid fines or rework. USPS-approved locking options are also available for increased mail security—great if you’ve had mail theft or fraud issues in the past.
