The CurbVault from Mail Theft Solutions, Inc. was designed to protect your mail from the moment that it is delivered until you retrieve it.
Featuring 32 patented design elements, the CurbVault is virtually indestructible. It can withstand vandalism from baseball bats, bullets, and even some explosives.
Product Features
The 3,200 cubic inches provide ample storage room, so you do not need to worry that someone may notice that you have not picked up your mail for several days.
Once mail is deposited into the CurbVault®, it falls to the base, where it can only be accessed by opening the rear panel. The rear panel, however, is secured with a self-locking door. In addition, the 1/8 inch thick steel plates that form the exterior of the CurbVault® are welded together, so they cannot be pried apart by even the most determined mail thieves.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Curbvault
Q-- What is a CurbVault® Mailbox?
A CurbVault® Mailbox is an anti-theft / anti-vandal mail receiving receptacle built to protect your mail or personal property deposited by the Postal Service, a private carrier, or any other agency or individual. The CurbVault is elegantly designed to complement the most beautiful of homes.
The CurbVault® is excellent for use in commercial applications in protecting your mail and 'non-mail' items, important documents, payments or items dropped off after business hours by your employees, representatives or clients.
Q--Why do I need a CurbVault®?
Mail theft and identity theft via the mailbox has now reached epidemic proportions and the threat continue to rise! Mailbox vandalism is also a growing concern. The CurbVault® protects you from identity theft and vandalism. It's heavy steel construction is a deterrent to would-be thieves and vandals. It provides you with peace of mind that your personal information is not being plundered while you're away.
CurbVault® also offers the advantage of having a much greater storage capacity than your conventional mailbox. When on an extended vacation, you can relax knowing that your mail is safely stored in a deadbolt secured receptacle. As a drop point for carriers other than the Postal Service delivering packages, the CurbVault® offers you convenience and reduces the risk of your items being stolen if they were simply left at the door.
Q--Where and how is a CurbVault® installed?
Your CurbVault® is installed at the same location as that of any conventional, curbside mailbox, whether on ground, concrete, or asphalt. Installation is SIMPLE enough for any able-bodied person, provided that the instructions are followed from inside the product's supplied owner's manual.
When used as a drop box for packages or non-mail items, the CurbVault® may be installed away from the road and closer to your home or business office.
Q--How is CurbVault better than a brick enclosure?
The CurbVault has a hidden in-ground mount that is designed to break-away upon impact; greatly reducing the risk of serious injury, and the related homeowner's liabilities.
Conventional brick enclosures offer practically no security and very little capacity for large or accumulated volumes of mail. CurbVault® on the other hand provides excellent security and large storage capacity.
Q--What is the 'catch tray' used for and where is it located?
The purpose of the catch tray which is located inside the back door, is to stop and hold the mail before it reaches the vault's floor. This reduces bending over when retrieving mail from the rear, away from traffic. However, when excessive volumes of mail are expected to accumulate, as when a trip is taken, removal of this tray is recommended.
Q--How does the converter tray work and where is it located?
During normal anti-theft modes, the front converter shelf (located inside the front door) is used for outgoing mail (or for outgoing non-mail items in commercial drop vaults) when the flag is raised. In this mode, retrieval must be made from the rear using the key or optional key pad.
Retrieval can be made from the front by removing the converter shelf, turning it around, and re-inserting it as instructed in the owner's manual. However, in this position, the CurbVault® offers no protection from theft! This converter position is intended for people who prefer to 'drive up' and retrieve their mail (or commercial vault material) without getting out of the car, and only use the anti-theft and storage feature part-time; as when an extended trip is taken.
Q--What colors are offered and how durable is the finish?
We offer a variety of basic colors, including black, white, and silver. Other colors, including custom colors may be available upon request with volume orders. The CurbVault® features a baked on power coated finish, which is the most durable coating that today's technology can produce. Under normal use, this finish should last for many years, retaining it's beauty. If the existing color is changed, a good rust preventative enamel is recommended.
Q--What about the warranty, parts and accessories?
The CurbVault® carries a lifetime replacement warranty on the structure itself under normal wear and tear. The lock and gold plated handle carry a one-year replacement warranty. Accessories will come available over time, so check back for exciting custom options.
