Answer This Question

A:  Hello, the Duo Spreader Plate (Item #5112B) is able to mount two of the Oasis 360 Post Mount Mailbox (Item #6300P-10) onto one post, however, due to the fact that the mailbox has a false bottom (an edge that sticks out further than the bottom of the mailbox) there must be some sort of spacer between the mailbox and the mounting plate to ensure a level mailbox. We recommend using nylon spacers that are 3/4" in length to fill the gap. In addition to the spacers, please note the length of the hardware included with your post will not be long enough for this purpose anymore. The bolts that come with all of our posts are 5/16-18 bolts, so you will need to purchase the same type of bolt (5/16-18) that are at least 2" in length. We are currently working on being able to send "kits" for this exact purpose, but have not yet brought them to market, so we really appreciate your patience in having to find the correct pieces for your mailbox project. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 310-374-5700 or email us at support@architecturalmailboxes.com and one of our Customer Experience Representatives would be happy to assist you. Thank you!

    A:  Hello, Thanks for reaching out! The Duo Spreader Plate (Item #5112B) is compatible with the Oasis 360 Post Mount Mailbox (Item #6300P-10). However, due to the fact that the mailbox has a false bottom (an edge that sticks out further than the bottom of the mailbox) there must be some sort of spacer between the mailbox and the mounting plate to ensure a level mailbox. We recommend using nylon spacers that are 3/4" in length to fill the gap. In addition to the spacers, please note the length of the hardware included with your post will not be long enough for this purpose anymore. The bolts that come with all of our posts are 5/16-18 bolts, so you will need to purchase the same type of bolt (5/16-18) that are at least 2" in length. We are currently working on being able to send "kits" for this exact purpose, but have not yet brought them to market, so we really appreciate your patience in having to find the correct pieces for your mailbox project. Lastly, the 7516 post is not going to have the weight and stability needed to house two mailboxes of this capacity, so we recommend using our Standard Post (Item #5525) to ensure the proper support for the mailboxes. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 310-374-5700 or email us at support@architecturalmailboxes.com and one of our Customer Experience Representatives would be happy to assist you.

      Q:Will this work with the Architectural Centennial Extra Large mailbox?
      by|Jul 20, 2018

      Answer This Question

      A:  The Black Duo Spreader Plate has two sets of the bolt pattern matching the Architectural Centennial Extra Large mailbox bolt pattern: 4” x 10”. That means you could place two Architectural Centennial Extra Large mailboxes side-by-side over a 3” central post. I used a matching 3” galvanized steel post, which is sold separately.

        A:  No, this model is not compatible with that mailbox.

          A:  Hello, unfortunately, the Centennial Mailbox is too large to fit onto the Duo Spreader Plate. Thanks for reaching out!

              Answer This Question

              A:  Hello, the 6300B-10 Mailbox has a false bottom, so four 1-inch spacers are needed to make it compatible with the Black Duo Spreader plate - one spacer for each mounting hole. Please contact us directly for more information so we are able to gather more information on what you are looking to accomplish and so that we may send you spacers at 310-374-5700 or support@architecturalmailboxes.com. Thank you for reaching out!

                  A:  No, it will not work because 6300B Oasis 360 Post Mount Mailbox has a false bottom. However, you can fill the false bottom with spacers to make it compatible.

                  by|May 5, 2023

                    A:  Hello, due to the false bottom of the 6300B Oasis 360 Post Mount Mailbox, the Duo Spreader Plate is not compatible straight out of the box. Using the Duo Spreader Plate to mount two 6300B Oasis 360 Post Mount Mailboxes would require spacers to fill in the false bottom – this is not included with the product. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly at 310-374-5700 or at support@architecturalmailboxes.com. Thank you!
