30+ Years Securing Mail For Homeowners & Businesses

Our Story

In 1994 Fort Knox Mailbox came into existence because a victim of numerous mail thefts finally decided to out-smart his neighborhood mail thieves. After collecting his remaining mail from a nearby ditch, Frank Schroeder built the original Fort Knox Mailbox. The new steel mailbox ended his weekly mail troubles and secured his mail, just as Fort Knox is famous for its security of gold.

Word spread neighbor to neighbor. As orders grew, Frank—a retired Navy SEAL veteran living with a disability—chose to keep crafting smaller boxes locally and entrusted larger boxes and nationwide production to close friends, the Crisp family.
In 1997, Mike and Janet Crisp, with their son Mike Jr., expanded the line, added new features, and welcomed a growing community of customers who wanted safer, more reliable mail delivery. We've shipped tens of thousands of Fort Knox Mailboxes across the United States (and a few abroad)—and to our knowledge, they’re still protecting mail today.
What keeps them going? Craftsmanship. Every mailbox moves through careful stages—cutting, grinding, welding, sandblasting, powder coating, and a final inspection—where we check for security, durability, and that clean, professional finish you expect from Fort Knox Mailbox.
Because we’re a small company, we can give each unit individual attention. We take the time. We sweat the details. And we stand behind what we make.
If you want a mailbox that looks sharp, works hard, and protects what matters, welcome to Fort Knox Mailbox. We’re glad you’re here.
