SALSBURY 4C HORIZONTAL
The mandatory architectural specification for multi-tenant retail complexes in the Downtown Triangle, executive suites along Main Street, and multi-family communities near Loyola Corners. Engineered with heavy extruded aluminum casing and high-tensile 300-series stainless steel components, these recessed assemblies deliver maximum protection while respecting Los Altos' refined architectural standards. Every bank is meticulously calculated around the strict 1:5 parcel locker ratio required by the Main Street Post Office. Our turnkey installation scope encompasses full structural wall modifications, Seismic Zone 4 lateral bracing, and SCCFD master-override key hardware integration to guarantee prompt approval on first inspection.
- ADA Title 24 & Federal Accessibility Compliant Heights
- Heavy Extruded Aluminum Shell with Custom Architectural Finish
- Licensed Structural Framing with Seismic Zone 4 Anchoring
STANDARD CBU PEDESTALS
Engineered for private residential enclaves in Woodland Acres, Rancho Shopping Center offices, and cul-de-sac clusters across South Los Altos requiring centralized outdoor delivery. Each cluster box unit features an architectural-grade AAMA 2605 fluoropolymer powder coating that resists extreme UV exposure, preventing fading and chalking over decades. Our foundation specifications mandate 3500 PSI steel-reinforced concrete footings with 1/2-inch wedge anchors embedded at a minimum 5-inch depth to comply with local seismic building safety codes. Reed Brothers manages site surveys, encroachment documentation with the Los Altos Building Division, and path-of-egress clearances across every installation.
- USPS Approved Private & Postal Carrier Delivery Systems
- Seismic Anchor Layout Engineered for Seismic Zone 4 Soils
- ADA Title 24 Path-of-Egress Clearance Verification
RESIDENTIAL FORT KNOX
The ultimate high-security mail vault engineered for premier luxury estates in North Los Altos, historical residences in Old Los Altos, and expansive properties along the Country Club corridor. Constructed from 1/4" cold-rolled plate steel with a 3/16" reinforced steel door, Fort Knox delivers structural defense that exceeds standard curbside mailboxes by over 400%. Featuring an internal geometric anti-fish baffle that blocks hand tools and mechanical wire retrieval hooks, these vaults neutralize mail theft and identity compromise. Each unit incorporates a continuous heavy-duty welded hinge, anti-pry lock flanges, and drill-resistant lock cylinders, providing uncompromising personal asset protection while presenting an architectural presence that enhances high-end landscape architecture.
- High-Tensile 10-Gauge Door Shell with Anti-Pry Shrouds
- Continuous Welded Pin Hinge Mechanism for Forced-Entry Defense
- Direct Foundation Anchor Kit for Complete Seismic Stability
COMMERCIAL FORT KNOX
Industrial-grade collection vaults built for commercial properties in the Downtown Triangle and institutional campuses near Fallen Leaf Park. Weighing over 400 pounds, these industrial enclosures safeguard vital financial paperwork, legal documents, and high-value courier drops against professional forced-entry attempts. Fabricated from precision laser-cut 1/4" industrial steel plates, the units feature internal baffle-shelf mechanisms that prevent fishing even under prolonged tampering. Our structural team provides complete turnkey installation, including deep-pour structural concrete base pads with core-drilled high-tensile epoxy anchors engineered to withstand extreme physical impact and seismic forces.

- Anti-Fish Drop Mechanism with Reinforced Internal Baffles

MAILBOX REPAIR & LOCKSMITHING
Los Altos' primary emergency response team for commercial mailbox repair, broken master locks, and technical lock restoration. When a cluster unit suffers physical door distortion or a broken master lock, USPS postal carriers from the Main Street station will immediately halt delivery due to postal compliance regulations. While federal law dictates that an arrow lock replacement can only be executed by postal personnel, Reed Brothers completes all prerequisite structural realignment, master latch reinforcement, and door repairs. We carry an extensive inventory of Salsbury, Florence, and Fort Knox OEM parts, providing 24-hour turnaround for apartment mailbox lock replacement, precision drill-outs for lost commercial mailbox keys, and complete tenant rekeying.
- 24-Hour Rapid Response for Vandalized Commercial Mailbanks
- Master Door Structural Alignment for USPS Sign-Off
- Factory OEM Cylinders for Florence, Salsbury & Fort Knox Units
STRATEGIC RELOCATION
Turnkey mailbox relocation engineered for properties in Downtown Los Altos, professional buildings along San Antonio Road, and residential communities seeking maximum package protection. Relocating delivery nodes from exposed exterior sidewalks into access-controlled building vestibules is the single most effective countermeasure against mail theft. As a licensed General Contractor (#681462), we manage every phase—from load-bearing wall reframing, electrical conduit rerouting, and architectural drywall patching to ADA Title 24 corridor clearance calculations. Crucially, we coordinate directly with the Main Street Postmaster to achieve formal route re-approval with zero interruption in resident mail delivery.
