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.

USPS Postmaster General approved


How It Works

  1. The mail carrier pulls down the handle, revealing the incoming slot at the top (11.5” W x 1.75” H).

  2. Mail drops into the locked compartment—accessible only with your key.

  3. 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.
