Mailboxes are one of the first things people see, so you want them to reflect your home's style and keep your deliveries safe. We carry a variety of residential mailboxes designed for easy mail delivery and enhanced curb appeal. Whatever your mailbox needs are, we've got them. Choose a replacement mailbox, a locking mailbox to protect against mail theft, or a mailbox that reflects your architectural preferences. 

Explore which mailbox style might be best for your needs with the following house mailbox guide from your friends at Ace. 

The Different Types of Residential Mailboxes 

House mailboxes can serve both a practical and decorative function. When it comes to picking a new mailbox, your options are seemingly endless. To help you in your decision-making process, here's more information about two of the most common types of mailboxes: wall-mounted and post-mounted.

Wall-Mounted Mailbox

Typically installed on the side of the home next to the front door, wall-mounted mailboxes are usually designed with a square or rectangular shape.

Also referred to as house-mounted mailboxes and hanging mailboxes, these mailboxes allow easy access for your mail carrier to drop off mail. They're frequently found in urban settings where homes are located within closer proximity of each other, and typically feature security locks, letters, numbers, or decorative designs. 

Post-Mounted Mailbox

If you have a long driveway, a post-mounted mailbox may be a better option than a house-mounted mailbox. With a post-mounted mailbox, the post is installed in the ground, and the actual mailbox is installed on top of the post. They typically feature flags that let you know when the mail has been delivered, and a latch that closes shut to keep your mail inside.

If you already have a post in place, you can purchase a standalone post-mounted mailbox. Or, select a post and box combo if you need to replace or install a new post. 

Is it Better to Have a Plastic or Metal Mailbox?

Residential mailboxes are typically made with the following materials: 

  • Aluminum: weather-resistant and lightweight.
  • Steel: durable and rust-resistant construction.
  • Plastic: easy-to-maintain and clean.

While there are a variety of plastic mailboxes available in post-mounted and wall-mounted styles, many homeowners opt to go with galvanized steel or aluminum mailboxes that withstand damage from weather exposure and offer increased security. However, plastic mailboxes are easy to maintain and keep clean.

Special Mailbox Features to Consider

Look for additional elements to protect your mail and help keep everything organized. Some mailbox features included in our assortment of top-rated products include: 

  • Locking mechanisms: A locking mailbox could deter mail theft. 
  • Newspaper holders: A separate holder is a great option for bulky newspapers.
  • Personalized information: Adding your name to your mailbox offers extra personality and may help to ensure that you don't accidentally receive someone else's mail.
