The Fortress - The Ultimate 1/4 Inch Steel High Security Locking Mailbox
Built to Outsmart Mail Thieves
The Fortress is our best-selling mailbox for good reason.
This beast of a mailbox takes care of your incoming mail—like a Fortress!
Built just like our other ¼” steel mailboxes, it simply gets the job done.
With the same outer dimensions as the Large Standard, it adds:
- A designated outgoing mail compartment (3" x 5" x 11.5")
- A 1/4" Steel Flag
- A covered incoming slot with pull-down satin nickel handle for extra weather and theft protection
Constructed from ¼” thick steel with reinforced, recessed doors and a narrow mail slot, every detail is designed to block prying and protect your privacy.
For the Ones Who Think Ahead
You check your doors at night. You keep a stocked pantry. You notice details others miss.
If that’s you, the Fortress matches your mindset. It’s not just a mailbox—it’s a steel barrier around your identity, your mail, and your peace of mind.

How It Works
-
The mail carrier pulls down the handle, revealing the incoming slot at the top (11.5” W x 1.75” H).
-
Mail drops into the locked compartment—accessible only with your key.
-
Outgoing mail: when the handle is pulled down, a separate enclosed outgoing shelf is revealed below the incoming slot.
-
Outgoing mail cannot be locked (per postal standards) but is hidden out of sight, behind a door.
-
The Fortress is pre-drilled on the bottom (4 holes, 6 ¾” apart), designed to fit our Large Posts, or mount to existing surfaces.
Each unit comes with a durable powder-coated finish to combat all elements.
