The UK architectural ironmongery and mailbox sector has seen significant change in recent months. While industry shifts can create uncertainty for architects, developers, and specifiers, they also present an opportunity to clarify where continuity of supply and long-term product support can still be confidently relied upon.
At Post Boxes UK Ltd, our aim is to provide clear guidance for professionals seeking secure, compliant alternatives to products they have previously specified. Many DAD Group mailbox models have long been popular, and naturally, architects want reassurance that equivalent solutions exist within the current market.
Our product portfolio includes several mailboxes whose dimensions and construction closely align with well-known DAD units. This allows specifiers to maintain the integrity of existing plans without needing to redesign recesses or façade elements.

Each of these models is manufactured to meet the requirements of EN 13724. This ensures a consistent level of security and performance regardless of supplier.
For architects and specifiers, continuity of compliance and dimensional certainty are often the most pressing concerns when a familiar product becomes unavailable. Because our ranges are designed around widely used architectural formats, they align naturally with a large share of previous DAD specifications.
This means:
At Post Boxes UK Ltd, we recognise the importance of long term reliability – not only in the mailboxes themselves, but in the supply chain behind them. Our focus on consistent stock availability, transparent communication, and attentive after-sales support enables architects and developers to plan ahead knowing that product continuity is secure.
As the market evolves, our commitment remains steady: providing well engineered, fully compliant, and readily accessible mailbox solutions that integrate seamlessly into both new and existing project specifications.
