Cluster Box Mailboxes: A Configuration Overview
The MailboxWork’s Auth Florence Cluster Box Mailboxes are the USPS-approved standard for outdoor, pedestal-mounted, centralized mail delivery. These units are specially designed so postal carriers can access all tenant mailboxes efficiently with a master key, providing a secure and convenient solution for multi-resident mail delivery.
Available Cluster Mailbox Sizes
Cluster box units come in various configurations to meet different tenant capacities:
- 8-door mail cluster units
- 12-door tenant mail clusters
- 13-door mailbox clusters
- 16-door multi-tenant units
Each of these configurations accommodates different user needs while maintaining USPS-approved design standards.
8, 12 & 16 Door Cluster Box Mailbox Units
For 8, 12, and 16-door models, each tenant compartment is uniform, measuring 3 ¼” high by 12 7/8” wide and 16 ¾” deep, ensuring that magazines and other flat mail remain undamaged. These units also include a matching secure outgoing mail compartment, allowing tenants to deposit mail for collection. Additionally, 8- and 16-door models feature two parcel compartments, while the 12-door model includes one for easy package storage and retrieval.
Unique 13-Door Units
The 13-door cluster box unit provides slightly larger tenant compartments (5” high), ideal for residents or businesses with higher mail volumes. Similar to other units, it includes a secure outgoing mail slot and a single parcel compartment.
Parcel Compartments for Secure Package Delivery
To facilitate secure package deliveries, parcel compartments are included within each cluster mailbox. Postal carriers place parcels in these compartments and leave the corresponding key in the tenant’s mailbox. This allows tenants to retrieve packages using a dedicated key, which then remains in the parcel lock, ready for the next delivery.
Cluster Mailbox Finishes for Design Versatility
Clustered mailboxes are available in various finishes to suit diverse architectural and aesthetic needs:
- Classic black for graffiti resistance
- Dark bronze for a wide range of color palettes
- Forest green for distinct visual appeal
- Clean white
- Postal grey
- Sandstone, the most popular finish, which ships within 24 hours.
Postal grey and sandstone are the most commonly chosen finishes, with other colors requiring about five days for shipping.
Extra-High Security Options
While all Florence Cluster Box Mailboxes are constructed with heavy-duty aluminum and stainless steel, an extra-high security option offers:
- Security collars around each lock
