SALSBURY 4C HORIZONTAL
The required architectural benchmark for high-density residential towers in Downtown San Jose, tech campuses across the North San Jose Innovation District, and luxury mixed-use commercial developments at Santana Row. Fabricated from heavy-gauge extruded aluminum with high-tensile 300-series stainless steel internal components, these recessed assemblies are engineered specifically to absorb the high parcel volume of the South Bay's largest metropolitan hub. Every modular configuration is planned strictly around the mandatory 1:5 parcel locker ratio demanded by the Lundy Avenue Main Post Office. Our turnkey installation scope encompasses full structural wall modifications, Seismic Zone 4 lateral bracing, and SJFD master-override key hardware integration, providing seamless sign-off on first inspection.

STANDARD CBU PEDESTALS
Engineered for San Jose residential communities in Japantown, Willow Glen, and residential enclaves across Silver Creek Valley requiring centralized, secure outdoor delivery. Each cluster unit features an architectural-grade AAMA 2605 fluoropolymer powder coating to withstand heavy UV exposure and prevent chalking in Santa Clara Valley conditions. Our installation specifications include engineered 3500 PSI steel-reinforced concrete foundation pads with 1/2-inch wedge anchors embedded at a minimum 5-inch depth to comply with San Jose's rigid seismic safety codes. Reed Brothers manages all site evaluations, encroachment verification with the San Jose Building Division, and guarantees full ADA path-of-egress clearance across every installation.

RESIDENTIAL FORT KNOX
The ultimate high-security mail vault engineered for historic homes throughout Willow Glen, prestigious estates in Almaden Valley, and luxury properties in the Rose Garden District. Constructed from 1/4" cold-rolled plate steel with a 3/16" reinforced steel door, Fort Knox delivers physical defense exceeding standard curbside mailboxes by over 400%. Featuring an internal geometric anti-fish baffle that blocks hand tools and mechanical wire retrieval hooks, these vaults completely neutralize mail fishing and identity theft. Each unit incorporates a continuous welded hinge, anti-pry lock flanges, and drill-resistant lock cylinders, providing uncompromising personal asset protection while presenting an architectural silhouette that complements high-end facades.

COMMERCIAL FORT KNOX
Industrial-grade collection vaults built for technology campus installations in North San Jose and secure commercial distribution facilities across the Diridon Station Corridor. Weighing in excess of 400 pounds, these industrial enclosures safeguard vital financial paperwork, legal documents, and proprietary courier drops from sophisticated forced-entry attempts. Fabricated from precision laser-cut 1/4" industrial steel plates, the vaults feature internal baffle-shelf mechanisms that prevent fishing even under prolonged tampering. Our structural team provides turnkey installation, including deep-pour structural concrete base pads with core-drilled high-tensile epoxy anchors engineered to withstand high dynamic seismic loads.

MAILBOX REPAIR & LOCKSMITHING
San Jose's 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 Lundy Avenue station will immediately halt delivery due to postal compliance rules. 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 along The Alameda, multi-family communities near Berryessa Transit Center, and commercial campuses facing elevated street-level theft. Relocating delivery nodes from exposed 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 Lundy Avenue Postmaster to achieve formal route re-approval with zero interruption in resident mail delivery.
- Permanent Elimination of Street-Facing Mailbox Theft
- Full Building Code Compliance & ADA Title 24 Egress Widths
