Custom Mailboxes in Morges

Two Morges, Two Requirements

Along the Grand-Rue and around the castle, the old buildings impose strong aesthetic constraints: protected facades, discreet colours, and a ban on visible perforations. An overly conspicuous mailbox or a standard white aluminium one would immediately clash. Conversely, recent developments in Morges-Est, Préverenges, and Tolochenaz require clean, durable, and compliant mailbox units from delivery.

In both cases, custom-made solutions allow us to respect both the character of the location and postal standards, something a catalogue product cannot achieve. We operate throughout the Morges district, from the lakeside to the vineyard communes, for individual manufacturing and installation by our teams.

Lakeside: Consider Stainless Steel

The proximity to Lake Geneva exposes mailboxes to humidity and sea spray. A cheap galvanised mailbox will rust in a few seasons, especially on the quay side or directly facing the lake. For Morges and its region, we often recommend brushed stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium, which are more durable over time. We adapt this choice to each location during the survey, considering exposure, orientation, and distance from the water.

• — Stainless Steel: Impervious to corrosion, ideal for properties directly facing the lake. Contemporary look that ages well, with no special maintenance.
• — Powder-Coated Aluminium: Lightweight, durable, available in all RAL colours. Anthracite or a discreet shade to match a protected facade in the centre of Morges.

Protected Homes & Compliant Placement

When horizontal placement is impossible due to architectural or heritage reasons, a common occurrence in old Morges, the standard allows for certain exceptions: vertical mailboxes, and derogations provided for in Art. 75 of the Postal Ordinance. However, the fundamentals remain: two compartments (letters 10 × 25 × 35.5 cm, slot 25 × 2.5 cm, and parcel 15 × 25 × 35.5 cm) and a location freely accessible from the street. Otherwise, La Poste may suspend delivery after a warning (Art. 31 para. 2 let. c). We are familiar with these cases and find the compliant solution adapted to your property.
