FAQ

  • How does Mailbox Dock work?
    It uses a 500 lb magnet and a steel docking plate secured with rebar to hold your mailbox post in place. If the post gets hit, it simply detaches instead of breaking. You can then realign and reattach it without digging or replacing the post.
  • What is Mailbox Dock?
    Mailbox Dock is a durable magnetic docking system that allows mailbox posts to detach and reattach easily, preventing damage from cars, snowplows, and harsh weather.
  • Who is Mailbox Dock for?
    It's perfect for homeowners who want a hassle-free, durable mailbox setup and contractors looking for a reliable, easy-to-install solution for their clients.

    Most standard 4x4 and 6x6 wooden posts are compatible. Custom setups may require minor adjustments.
