To ensure that apartment mailboxes are safe from tampering by thieves, the U.S. Postal Service® and its federal law enforcement arm, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, recommend that you replace old receptacles with new units. The recommended USPS-STD-4C units offer state-of-the-art protection for your tenants’ mail.
The new standards for wall-mounted mail receptacles, USPS-STD-4C, are approved by the Postmaster General and meet rigorous security requirements. The wider compartments eliminate rolled-up mail, and the spacious and secure parcel lockers minimize trips to the Post Office™. If your mailboxes are more than 30 years old, it may be time to upgrade them to more secure units.
