Selecting the right postbox supplier is an essential part of any residential construction or apartment development project. Whether you’re planning a block of flats, build-to-rent scheme, HMO, or multi-occupancy building, the quality and reliability of your postboxes will directly affect security, tenant experience, and long-term maintenance.
Here are the top 5 things developers should look for when choosing a postbox supplier in the UK — and how Ryzan delivers on all of them.
1. A Supplier That Specialises in Postboxes for Flats & Multi-Occupancy Buildings
General hardware suppliers can’t provide the guidance needed for apartment-style mailbox systems. You need a supplier that understands:
- new-build layouts
- fire safety considerations
- developer timelines
- Royal Mail requirements
- anti-vandal and secure designs
- recessed vs. surface-mounted installation
Ryzan specialises specifically in commercial mailbox systems for apartment blocks, construction projects, and communal developments.

2. A Wide Range of Mailbox Types (for Any Style of Project)
A top-quality mailbox supplier should offer variety to suit different construction scenarios. This includes:
✔ Surface-mounted mailboxes
Perfect for HMOs, entry hallways, refurb projects and smaller developments.
✔ Recessed (built-in) mailboxes
Ideal for new-builds, narrow corridors, and premium high-spec lobbies.
✔ External anti-vandal mailboxes
For exposed outdoor walls, gate areas and high-traffic entrances.
Ryzan offers all of these categories, allowing developers to match the right specification to the right project.

3. Commercial-Grade Construction & Security Features
For multi-occupancy buildings, commercial-grade build quality is essential.
A reliable supplier should offer mailboxes built with:
- reinforced steel construction
- anti-vandal faceplates
- secure locking systems
- deep box capacities
- weather-resistant finishes (for externals)
- tamper-resistant apertures
Ryzan supplies heavy-duty, secure postboxes designed for long-term use in busy residential buildings.
4. Full Support for Developers: Drawings, Fire Safety & Installation Advice
A premium supplier should support the entire specification process, including:
- layout planning
- recessed-depth requirements
- spacing & installation heights
- fire safety and corridor clearance considerations
- door swing planning
- Royal Mail recommendations
- anti-vandal design advice
Ryzan provides technical guidance, ensuring your mailbox configuration fits your space, meets compliance, and keeps your build programme on track.
