Where the Manchester Mailbox Fits

The Manchester is built to be inset into masonry, so the right fit comes down to what you are mounting it into. Most buyers land on one of three setups. If you are still comparing bases, our column insert mailboxes cover the full range, and the mailbox column options guide walks through each one.

Brick or Stone Columns

This is the standard install. When set into a brick or stone column, the Manchester faceplate sits flush over a pre-built rough opening sized to the composite box. That box measures 8.5 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 16 inches deep, so frame the cavity to match. Build it to spec and the mailbox seats cleanly with no extra framing.

Pilasters and Masonry Walls

Mounting against a pilaster or masonry wall? The Manchester takes the same rough opening dimensions. You can mount it flush with the wall face or recess it slightly for a more built-in look, depending on your design.

Pre-Built Stucco Columns

No existing column? Turn the Manchester into a stucco column mailbox with the optional Manchester Stucco Column. It ships ready to install over a 4x4 wood post and measures 60 inches high by 24 inches wide by 24 inches deep, giving you a finished column base without any masonry work.

Non-Locking vs Locking Manchester Mailbox

This is the Manchester non-locking mailbox: a full cast aluminum faceplate with a hinged door and a lower price point, the right pick for decorative curb appeal without mail security. If you need protection, the Manchester Security Locking Column Mount Mailbox with Decorative Agave Emblem adds a 16-gauge powder-coated steel drop chute, a locking rear door, a separate outgoing mail slot, and room for packages up to 7.5 by 7.5 by 14 inches. Want a locking version instead? We sell it as a separate listing: the security-locking Manchester ships ready to lock, with no insert or conversion needed.

Manchester Mailbox FAQs

Build your rough opening to fit the composite box, which measures about 8.5 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 16 inches deep. The faceplate overlaps the opening edges, so size the cavity to the box, not the faceplate. Confirm final dimensions against the spec sheet before you frame.

No. The Manchester is a column-insert mailbox for private delivery, not a USPS-approved curbside unit. USPS approval applies to roadside and wall boxes that meet USPS-STD-7B. Use the Manchester where you collect mail at a column or wall and do not need a carrier-served roadside box.

Budget Mailboxes sells the Manchester as two separate products: this non-locking version and a separate locking version. There is no add-on insert to buy from us. If you want secure mail retrieval, choose the locking Manchester listing, which ships ready to lock.

The Manchester comes in three powder-coat finishes: Black, Bronze, and Antique Copper. Each finish is baked on for outdoor durability. Bronze and Antique Copper read warmer against brick and stone, while Black gives a crisp, modern contrast.

The Manchester non-locking mailbox usually ships in 3 to 5 business days. Actual transit time after it leaves the warehouse depends on your delivery location, so check the shipping estimate shown at checkout for the most accurate arrival date.
