A letterbox unit brings together the letterboxes of several residents or offices into one well finished whole. You will find models that you build up piece by piece into a letterbox combination, with an eye for design, material and ease of use. The letterboxes shown on this page are all from various brands.
A mailbox block is more than a row of boxes next to each other. It is an architectural element on the facade or in the entrance hall, that helps determine the appearance of a building. For apartments, offices or multi-family buildings, it is best to choose a system in which each box can be locked separately, but the whole reads as one line.
There are mailboxes that you can combine into a mailbox combination. The WALL is a built-in model that is integrated into a wall or partition, so that only the front remains visible. The Nexus Ensemble is a free-standing block that you build up module by module. Finally, the ALBO is a robust series that lends itself to longer rows. This creates a block that fits the architecture, rather than fighting it.
More and more often, residents receive parcels that do not fit through the mailbox. Some models are therefore available with a parcel compartment, a larger section that parcel deliverers can open without access to the home. This reduces missed deliveries and keeps the entrance hall clear. Not every model has a parcel compartment as standard; check which options are available for your situation.
For operation, you choose between a classic lock with key or a combination lock. A combination lock is useful when you do not want to hand out keys, for example in a building with changing residents. Here too, availability differs per model. A mailbox block with combination lock also requires a good agreement about who manages the codes.
Material and finish determine how the block holds up over the years. Aluminium is used among other materials, which is light, does not rust and is available in many colours. The number of available RAL colours differs per series; ask an authorised sales point which options are available for your model.
For apartments, a mailbox block is often the only neat solution: one central place for all mail, instead of separate boxes at the front door. Think about the location in advance. In the entrance hall, the block remains protected from wind and weather, but it must be accessible to the postman. On the facade it is visible and accessible, but it requires a model that can withstand rain and frost.
Also take into account the height at which you place the boxes. For wheelchair users and children, a block that is too high is inconvenient. The exact guidelines differ per situation and per country; verify this with bpost or an authorised sales point before placing it definitively.
Are you unsure whether to choose the WALL, Nexus Ensemble or ALBO? Ask for advice. A dealer or installer can look with you at the wall, the desired capacity and the finish. This way you avoid a beautiful block ending up in the wrong place or in the wrong size.
