Bommer Mailboxes: A Legacy of Commercial Durability

Please note: Bommer Mailboxes are discontinued and no longer available for sale. If you need to upgrade your community mailbox, we recommend the USPS approved CBU.

Lorenz Bommer, the inventor of the double-action spring hinge, founded Bommer Industries 125 years ago in Manhattan, New York. The company is renowned for crafting high-quality commercial products with exceptional finesse. Bommer Industries expertise in Commercial Mailboxes dates back to 1947.

The discontinued line of Bommer Mailboxes is recognized as being from one of the most experienced and respected commercial mailbox manufacturers in the world. In fact, Bommer Industries once was a USA exclusive manufacturer with a product line of commercial mailboxes that includes:

• Horizontal Commercial Mailboxes
• Vertical Commercial Mailboxes
• Parcel Lockers
• Outdoor Pedestal Mailboxes
• And Cluster Box Units (CBU Mailboxes)

Features and Configurations of Bommer Mailboxes

The discontinued line of Bommer mailboxes focused on replacement commercial mailboxes. These mailboxes had been decertified by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Buyers could only use them to replace existing pedestal mailboxes, such as the NDCBU mailboxes. Bommer NDCBU mailboxes utilized an open and adaptable design construct allowing the commercial mailbox buyer to customize their own combination of mailbox tenant doors within a wide variety of choices.

Savvy mailbox buyers have noted that Bommer NDCBU commercial mailboxes are versatile despite not being USPS certified. These mailboxes can serve various purposes, such as private distribution mailboxes. They are also useful as collection boxes for print materials, small packages, or other sundry items.

Bommer NDCBU mailboxes were once available in three standard mailbox configurations:

1. The 8 door Type 1 NDCBU Mailboxes
2. The 12 Door Type 2 NDCBU Mailboxes
3. The 16 Door Type 3 NDCBU Mailboxes

When they were on the market, you could configure NDCBU Bommer Mailboxes with door sizes ranging from 5 inches high and 6 inches wide to 10 1/2 “high by 12 ½” wide parcel locker sized doors.

The Bommer mailboxes (NDCBU mailboxes) were once available in five custom finishes: anodized aluminum, gold powder coat, medium bronze powder coat, dark bronze powder coat, and black powder coat.

These Bommer NDCBU mailboxes utilized a rear access door that allows the mail delivery agent to have quick access to all tenant mailboxes at once – ensuring that mail delivery is efficient and quick. Additionally, the extruded aluminum framing and double-walled mailbox compartments provided a strong core strength and protective security.  Buyers must order the standard postal lock if they purchase NDCBU Bommer mailboxes as replacement mailboxes. They can replace the standard postal lock with an optional private master lock if the mailboxes are not used as replacements.

Bommer mailboxes (NDCBU) featured engraved, numbered tenant doors for easy identification. For non-replacement NDCBUs, buyers had the option to customize the first compartment. This compartment typically arrived with a standard plugged slot designed for the postal carrier’s postal lock.
