I need a TRUE FLUSH mount on this mailbox. Is the mounting recessed on the back?

Yes it is, about half an inch to accommodate the hinged lid on top. I had to build my own mounting block as there is no mounting hardware that came with my order. I would not have purchased this mailbox should I have known this beforehand.

hi, mine is flat on the back with 2 vertical holes about 4 " apart to hang on screw head or nails, if that helps

no its a flush mount and points straight only. there are several others on Amazon that are not flush mount but you can angle them however necessary.

Sorry, I'm a little behind on mail. Yes it is finished on all sides, so looks good from the back too!

Hi, No, it does not come with a mounting bracket for a post. However, this is exactly what I had -- a 4x4 post. All I really did was place a mounting board on the post (cut to fit the bottom of the mailbox), and then screwed box onto the mounting bracket. If done with good wood, you will have a very solid mount. I really like this mailbox and it has been up a number of months and is working great.Hope this helps,Dick

The description seems to imply both but the box only includes directions for recessed mounting. We did end up surface mounting by simply drilling threw the back panel. It's holding up so far.

Ours is recess mounted. I believe that is ther way it is designed. The cabinet is very good, but the prodict desription on Amazon is useless - pure puffery.

hmmm, not sure. mine is flat against the wall. some stupid questions: the short side is mounted vertically and the screws are all flush?

No it is flat on the back and has predrilled holes if you want to permantly mount it.

No, I'm sorry it is not able to be flush mounted. It was designed to be hung as a pendant.

Either recessed or mount. I did mount. The mountings were higher quality than usual and it looks very nice.

There is a small amout on the lower back that is not covered. My post is green and I think it looks fine but you could paint the exposed post to match. I can not imagine anyone wouldn't be happy with this mailbox. My husband installed the mailbox and must of been easy because he didn't complain.

The back is not flush. There are protrusions around the mounting holes to hold the body of the box away from the wall it's mounted to, to prevent rain from building up. You could probably grind off those protrusions, though - it's just plastic.

It doesn't come with a mounting bracket. The only thing you'll get in the package is the mailbox itself - no screws, no bracket, nothing else. You probably should buy a mounting bracket.

We installed ours on a steel skinned door and didn't have any problem with it laying flush. Don't remember there being any points on it.

Ours is mounted. Although the back and bottom of the mailbox are flat, not sure if the lid would make it top heavy and therefore, unsteady and unable to sit up on it's own without falling forward or to the side.

Normal installation would have this recessed so that the surface is flush with whatever it is mounted on/into

No, it's flush mount. I used toggle bolts. You could do a make shift mount out of heavy gage wire I guess.
