Made from heavy guage solid brass sheet and bar stock, this mailbox is hand made in THE USA.
We take pride in offering only the highest quality workmanship, resulting in a heavy, solid, refined feel.
The door uses a solid brass or stainless steel continuous hinge and magnetic catch. It has uniform seams and
snaps shut, just as you would expect from a well built automobile.
Our brass products are truly pieces of art, each one with it's own individual character. The Polished Antique Patina finish can have tones of red, gold and brown with a few blue-green patina highlights. Because this is a naturally finished product, no two finishes are alike.
The unlocked version's door opens wide to receive incoming mail. It is designed to be recessed into a wall or column. Many have tried unsuccessfully to copy this original design so don't be fooled by lower quality imitations. For example, the Gateway's cousin, the Westchester Mailbox has over 150 individual spot welds and each component is hand cut.
We suggest when installing out doors that the Gateways frame also be recessed an inch or two inside the collumn or wall to better protect it from the elements and rain.
On the locked version, the Incoming opening size is 1-3/4" x 8". This makes it almost impossible for thieves to reach the mail.
Installation Instructions
Brass Numbers
The brass numbers are 3" high and are fused to the unfinished mailbox. They go through the finishing process together and the numbers become a part of your mailbox. These finishes show what your mailbox will look like when finished, but note that all mailboxes are custom made and no two are alike. Typically, five numbers will fit on you mailbox and can only be applied to the front, but please call if you have 6 or more numbers to find out if we can accommodate your needs.
The numbers take approximately two weeks to go through the finishing process depending on the weather (they are best made in particular weather conditions).
