The Security and Convenience of USPS-Approved CBU Mailboxes

Residential Applications of USPS-Approved CBU Mailboxes

USPS-approved CBU mailboxes are essential for secure residential mail delivery. They’re commonly used in:

• Multi-family dwellings
• Apartment buildings
• Duplex and triplex buildings
• Military housing complexes
• University dormitories

Commercial Uses of CBU Mailboxes

CBU mailboxes also serve a vital role in commercial settings. Licensed by the United States Postal Service, these mailboxes ensure safe mail delivery to business offices and industrial complexes. Built with heavy-duty extruded aluminum, expertly welded seams, and stainless steel hinges, they offer robust 360-degree protection. Because of this design, they’re among the most reliable outdoor mail and parcel delivery units available.

Essential Features of USPS-Approved CBU Mailboxes

CBU mailboxes feature a rivetless construction and a rustproof powder coat finish, which together create a barrier that withstands harsh weather conditions. Moreover, they save time for busy tenants, as they allow for outgoing mail and package storage without trips to the post office.

Key features include:

• Outgoing Mail Slot: Enables tenants to send mail conveniently.
• Parcel Delivery Locker: Provides safe storage for small packages.

Security Elements for Tenants and Property Management

Each tenant door on a USPS-approved CBU mailbox has a 5-pin cam lock that protects against mail and identity theft. Property management receives three keys for each mailbox—two for the tenant and one for management as a backup.

To add convenience, the parcel door lockers feature USPS-approved locks. When a package arrives, postal carriers place a locker key inside the tenant’s mailbox. Then, tenants can retrieve the key, pick up their package, and return the key after use.
