Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Installing a post mount mailbox in Round Rock involves several key steps:

  1. We first mark the installation spot based on USPS regulations (usually 41–45 inches from the road surface).
  2. A post hole is dug 18–24 inches deep depending on the soil and post type.
  3. The post is inserted, leveled, and secured with concrete for long-term durability.
  4. Once set, we attach the mailbox to the post using factory screws and brackets.
  5. We verify alignment and test the door/latch functionality.
  6. If the mailbox is lockable, we install the lock and test the key function.

Common Post Mount Mailbox Issues

Homeowners in Round Rock often face the following post mount mailbox problems:

  • Rust and corrosion on the mailbox or screws
  • Leaning or wobbly posts caused by weak foundations
  • Mailbox doors not closing properly
  • Locks jamming or keys not turning
  • Damage from vehicle impact or vandalism

If you’re experiencing any of these, don’t wait—early repairs help you avoid complete replacements. Our team also assists with wall mount mailbox issues if you have a different setup.

Repair Services We Offer

Our mobile team in Round Rock handles a wide range of post mount mailbox repairs:

  • Re-leveling or resetting leaning posts
  • Replacing broken or missing doors and latches
  • Fixing or upgrading locking systems

When to Replace vs. Repair

If your mailbox post is rotted or the box has rusted through, replacement is often the better long-term option. If the post is still structurally sound and the box just needs a new latch or lock, repair may save you money.

Our technician will assess the condition and walk you through options based on appearance, safety, and cost.

Every post mount mailbox install we complete in Round Rock is measured and placed according to USPS standards. These include height from the ground, distance from the curb, and accessibility rules for the mail carrier.

We also understand local HOA or city guidelines that may limit design types or locations. You’ll never need to worry about rejection by USPS or complaints from your association.

  • Traditional black powder-coated models
