How does the security-drop door mechanism work?
As the security-drop door mechanism is opened (hinged horizontally), a unique hidden security door extends towards the back of the unit, blocking access to items previously deposited and held in the package storage compartment or hold.

I like your products, but they seem large. Do you offer smaller units?
dVault products have been design engineered to accept the most frequently sent packages and parcels of various size. The company cautions those who may choose mailboxes of smaller sizes as even a small bottle of perfume is packed and shipped in a 10 inch cube... a tall order for the majority of mailboxes offered today.

Will delivery agents and couriers deliver items to the Delivery Vault?

Are replacement parts available?
Yes, all dVault units feature replaceable package-drop doors, access doors, locking mechanisms, etc. This is particularly important to the homeowner or
contractor who has installed a unit in a pillar or wall, or has veneered the unit with brick, stone, stucco or like materials. Replacement parts may be
easily installed without disturbing the installation structure or decorative materials.

What is galvannealed steel?
Galvannealed steel is a carbon steel sheet coated with zinc on both sides by the continuous hot dipped process. Immediately as the strip exits the coating bath, the zinc coating is subjected to an in-line heat treatment that converts the entire coating to a zinc-iron alloy. After post painting with proper selected primers and paints, the combined paint/galvannealed coating offers excellent resistance to peeling, blistering of the paint in addition to long lasting corrosion resistance compared with conventional galvanized sheet.

investment in creating an "Online Catalog," "Product Knowledge" and specialty brochures. By dVault doing its part to help the environment, we are also able to reduce paper, postage and handling costs, allowing dVault to maintain lower retailer and distributor costs of its products.
