Apartment mailboxes group of 22 units
A common question!
For a group of 22 apartment units, you'll typically need a combination of mailboxes and compartments to accommodate the residents' mail and packages. Here's a general guideline to help you plan:
Mailbox Types:
- Standard Mailboxes: These are the typical, individual mailboxes you see in most apartment complexes. They usually have a compartment for standard-sized mail (letters, bills, etc.) and a slot for packages.
- Package Lockers: These are larger compartments designed specifically for packages, often with a lock and key or a combination lock. They're ideal for larger packages, such as boxes, packages, and deliveries.
Recommended Configuration:
For 22 apartment units, I recommend the following configuration:
- Standard Mailboxes: 20-22 units (depending on the size of the mailboxes and the number of residents per unit)
- Package Lockers: 2-4 units (depending on the size of the packages and the frequency of deliveries)
Additional Considerations:
- Mailbox Size: Choose mailboxes that are at least 6-8 inches wide and 12-18 inches tall to accommodate standard-sized mail and packages.
- Package Locker Size: Choose package lockers that are at least 12-18 inches wide and 24-36 inches tall to accommodate larger packages.
- Accessibility: Ensure that the mailboxes and package lockers are easily accessible for residents, with a clear path and sufficient lighting.
- Security: Consider installing locks or combination locks on the package lockers to prevent unauthorized access.
- Maintenance: Plan for regular maintenance and cleaning of the mailboxes and package lockers to ensure they remain functional and secure.
Remember to check with your local post office or postal regulations to ensure compliance with any specific requirements or guidelines for apartment mailboxes.
