Yes installing this with cable ties is an option, however this post box does not have a rear access facility. For installation to vertical railings I can recommend the Black Railings Post Box.
Hi, please can you confirm the external width of the opening flap. The spec states 301, but is that the box or flap. I want to fit in a recess of about this width, and a previous answer states 308 as an internal width.
Could you please tell me if this post box has an internal flap as well as an external one? I am looking for a post box that stops mail being retrieved through the flap opening as I am concerned about people being able to put their fingers into the box to take out the post box.

This unit only has one letter flap which moves inwards. You could have a look at our Brabantia - B410 Dark Grey Post Box which is fitted with protective slats to prevent mail from being stolen or you could also consider the Bobi - Classic Grey Letter Box which has the option to have a security baffle fitted.
Are any of the Brabantia postbboxes made of galvanised steel? Galvanised steel is important as we live in coastal area and the salt rusts ordinary steel.

These boxes are constructed from a high quality pre-coated steel that is suitable for outdoor use including coastal areas. In your circumstances we would often mention Brabantia as being the best choice.
Can the lock be replaced with a combination lock. We need to allow a lot of people access to the letter box but controlled by the issue of a pass code to open it - thought?
Nigel, Riseley
As standard the post boxes are fitted with a Cam lock operated by keys, there are no combination locks available as an optional upgrade from the manufacturer. You could potentially try to customise the unit with this type of lock but you would need to be sure that the combination lock used is weather resistant.
