Product Information
Full details
The Marksman Large Post Box is an ideal mail storage solution for residential homes, apartment complexes, or office environments requiring a durable and secure receipt point for correspondence. Featuring a robust, weather-resistant steel construction, it offers peace of mind through its integrated locking mechanism and included duplicate keys. While its large capacity and sturdy design make it highly functional, potential users should ensure they have sufficient wall space, as its footprint requires a dedicated mounting surface rather than a post-mounted configuration.

FAQs
Does this post box come with mounting screws?
Yes, the product includes the necessary fixings for mounting on standard surfaces.
Can I replace the keys if I lose them?
As the unit comes with two keys, it is advised to keep the spare in a safe location. Standard locks on this model are typically not user-replaceable.
Is this box suitable for A4 envelopes?
Yes, the dimensions of 34cm x 37cm are designed to accommodate standard A4-sized correspondence without folding.
Is the box rust-proof?
It is constructed from steel with an epoxy powder coating, which provides a high level of corrosion resistance, though periodic cleaning is recommended.
Can I mount this on a wooden gate?
Yes, the pre-drilled holes allow for mounting on wood, provided the gate is thick enough to support the weight of the steel box.
How do I add my name to the nameplate?
You can slide a printed card or label into the designated card holder slot on the front of the box.
Troubleshooting
Key is difficult to insert or turn
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the key and insert it into the lock mechanism, cycling it several times to distribute the lubricant.
Box feels loose against the mounting surface
Check that the fixing screws are fully tightened and ensure the wall plugs are correctly expanded; if the wall is crumbling, move the unit slightly to a more stable area.
Water pooling near the mail flap
Ensure the box is mounted perfectly level; if it is tilted forward or backward, adjust the mounting screws to restore a level position for proper drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the included fixing kit. To mount, identify a flat, stable surface that is easily accessible. Use the pre-drilled holes as a template to mark your drill points, then secure the box using appropriate wall plugs or screws suited to your mounting surface (masonry, wood, or metal). To maintain the longevity of the post box, it is recommended to periodically wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust or grime. Keep the lock mechanism lubricated with a light silicone spray once or twice a year to ensure smooth key operation, especially if the box is exposed to harsh or coastal weather conditions.
