Stylish and discreet rather than space-consuming, even with a large number of parties and spacious compartments: these are our flush-mounted mailbox systems.
Further advantages of this type of installation: existing delivery and walking routes are retained and the space required is minimal. However, the corresponding structural requirements must be met and care must be taken during installation.
Configure your flush-mounted mailbox system according to your personal requirements. A wide range of components offers maximum flexibility. We can also adapt your system to your own modules, such as cameras, displays or other devices. Please feel free to contact us personally. You can choose from:
With the KNOBLOCH configurator for mailbox systems, you can customise your mailbox system according to your needs.
KNOBLOCH has been family-owned for more than 150 years. Today, around 200 employees use modern technology to manufacture mailboxes, mailbox systems and accessories as well as other high-quality products for entrance areas both at our old site and at the new KNOBLOCH City in the industrial estate in Döbeln.
At KNOBLOCH, you can choose from over 200 colours – or specify your desired colour as a RAL colour code. We also offer premium surfaces for an even more attractive look.
Our range of mailboxes extends from simple and functional to luxurious and playful premium. The look of your mailbox system is entirely up to you.
We deliver your new individual mailbox in as little as 10 working days. For mailbox systems with customised configurations, we only need a few days longer.
KNOBLOCH systems are supplied with detailed and easy-to-understand documentation of the individual steps. They are usually fully assembled within a few hours.
With over 150 years of history, KNOBLOCH is the oldest mailbox company in Germany, which is why we can give you a double promise with a clear conscience: you will never hear ‘we’ve never heard that before’ from us, and spare parts for your system will still be available in 10 or 20 years’ time.
At KNOBLOCH you have direct contact with the manufacturer and the design department. This is rarely possible with suppliers from the Far East.
A flush-mounted mailbox system is a mail reception system for direct integration into walls. A corresponding cut-out must be available on site in a wall or façade into which the system is inserted. A flush finish with the wall is the most commonly used form, but partial recessing is also possible, where the front of the system protrudes a little from the wall into the room. In both cases, the result is a rather unobtrusive appearance with space-saving integration into the building.
KNOBLOCH uses the same high-quality materials as for the other types of installation, but they are processed differently to enable installation in masonry or façades:
Yes, you can 🙂 The flexibility is comparable to the other types of assembly. KNOBLOCH uses standardised mailbox compartments as versatile basic components, which can therefore be manufactured in correspondingly high quantities and at correspondingly low cost. As these basic modules are themselves available in a wide range of variants, there is an almost infinite number of possible combinations. Customisable options include:
Size and orientation (portrait or landscape format) of the compartments
Number and arrangement of compartments: from a few to several hundred
Colour: compartments and flaps can be designed in different colours
Type of insertion flaps: from simple models to noise-damped, flat or open slot variants
Additional functions: integration of doorbells, intercoms, parcel compartments and functional boxes (e.g. for door openers or access control)
Design: modern and minimalist or classic and timeless – to suit your architecture

The mailbox is installed by fitting it into a prepared opening in the wall or façade. The typical procedure includes the following steps:
Preparing or cutting the niche: The required dimensions depend on the size of the mailbox system plus the installation frame.
Please note: extras such as shadow gap frames require additional space.
Inserting the body: The actual mailbox unit is pushed into the wall opening and aligned precisely.
Drilling the fixing holes: Mark the holes, remove the unit from the recess, drill and insert dowels.
Final installation and fixing: Reinsert the body into the recess, check that the plaster cover frame is flush with the wall, and screw the unit into place. For outdoor installation, seal the plaster cover frame to ensure weather protection.
KNOBLOCH always supplies mailbox systems with a link to detailed installation instructions, which can be conveniently accessed via QR code. However, if the system is large enough to require more than one person for installation, we recommend professional installation to ensure stability and safety.
If the front of the system is exposed to wind and weather – for example, next to the front door – it is also advisable to call in a specialist company to ensure proper sealing and secure fixing.
KNOBLOCH offers a professional installation service – just ask us.
Yes, high-quality flush-mounted systems are extremely secure, as they are directly protected by the masonry or façade on all sides except the front. KNOBLOCH systems offer even more:
They are. Absolutely. Thanks to a well thought-out design and the corrosion-resistant materials used by KNOBLOCH. The most important points:
Material quality: Stainless steel, anodised aluminium or galvanised and powder-coated sheet steel protect against rust
UV-resistant colours: No fading or peeling of the coating, even after several years
Seals and covers: Special design elements such as rain protection edges and rubber seals prevent rainwater from penetrating the compartments, even when installed outdoors
Detached and semi-detached houses: also with doorbell and communication unit if required
Apartment blocks: larger residential buildings where a uniform appearance and space saving are required
Commercial and office buildings: flush-mounted systems blend discreetly into façades and look professional
Public institutions: schools, authorities and hospitals benefit from a clear, flush-mounted solution
The European standard DIN EN 13724 specifies the requirements for size, weather protection and safety. The key points:
Size of the insertion slots: so that even large-format items can be inserted without kinking
Accessibility: the letterboxes must be at a height that is suitable for all user groups
Vandalism and theft protection: burglar-proof locks and sturdy materials
With the high-quality materials used by KNOBLOCH, the maintenance effort is limited. We recommend:
Regular cleaning: wipe with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and dust
Stainless steel or aluminium care product: apply once or twice a year if necessary to maintain the shine
Functional check: locks and seals should be checked at longer intervals to ensure they are working properly
The price range for flush-mounted letterbox systems varies depending on the material, size and features. KNOBLOCH offers a wide range of different letterbox systems. From functional to premium models, everything is included. Individuality and customisation are our strengths.
Small systems: from approx. 150 to 300 euros
