    How the Process Works
    If you’ve placed your order online and requested installation services, one of our team
    members will contact you to arrange a convenient installation date.

    For phone or email orders, we will take your details, agree on an installation date, and send a confirmation email with payment instructions for a 50% deposit.

    A day before installation, our technician will confirm the time and provide a one-hour arrival window.

    If you have any special requirements—such as access details, installation location, or requests to be contacted when the installer is on their way—please inform us via phone or email.

    Please note that installation dates may vary between 1-2 business days or 1-2 business
    weeks depending on our workload at the time.

    Fit For Your Home?

    ✅ Best For:

    Ideal for homes with front brick fences, piers or rendered walls that include a built-in cavity for a letterbox. This style offers a flush, high-end finish with added security and a timeless look — perfect for established homes or new builds with masonry frontages.

    📍 Mounting Surface:

    Installed into a pre-existing cavity within a brick or block wall
    Secured using industrial-grade adhesive — no visible screws or brackets
    Suitable for standard cavity sizes created during wall construction

    🔧 Installation Time:

    Fast install: typically 30–60 minutes, depending on access and alignment
    Requires that the cavity is already prepared (no brick cutting included)
    📏 Height & Compliance:

    Installed at 900mm–1200mm from ground level, as per Australia Post delivery standards
    We ensure flush fitment, straight alignment, and full adhesive contact for durability

    🧱 Durability & Strength:

    Highly secure and weather-resistant
    Flush-mounted to resist tampering or accidental damage
    Compatible with standard and large-format mailboxes, including A4 and parcel models

    👍 Pros:

    ✅ Sleek, built-in look that blends into walls or piers
    ✅ Excellent for modern or premium homes
    ✅ No exposed fixings – clean, professional finish
    ✅ High security and long-term durability

    ⚠️ Considerations:

    ⛔ Requires a pre-formed cavity – not suitable for solid brickwork without one
    ⛔ Not a DIY-friendly option — professional install recommended
    ⛔ Installation does not include masonry cutting or modifications
    ⛔ Removal of an existing letterbox not included (available separately)

    💬 Tip:

    This is your go-to option if your fence or pier was built with a letterbox cavity in mind. It’s neat, tamper-resistant, and blends seamlessly with your brickwork — perfect for a premium finish with no visible mounting hardware.
