Can the mailbox be mounted on a gate instead of a wall?

It completely would depend on the size and how sturdy the gate is. The mailbox is heavy and would need a stout mounting post

I have mine mounted on a wooden picket fence and it is fine. Excellent quality.

Yes, teh baby gate came with both the tension screws and screws that could be used to permanently mount the gate to the wall. We used the screww in to the wall option because we are using it for dogs and we didn't want them to be able to push it over. Hope this helps, we love the gate.

My gate is attached to a small metal railing. It works great! However I attached mine with zip ties. May not be the most attractive attachment but it works. I did not need to drill any holes in the wall or railing.

I suppose you could with the right fasteners. The hangers on the back wall of the mailbox are just teardrop shaped slo for screw to go through and hold to wall.

I mounted to an exterior stucco wall. So I cut a scrap piece of redwood fence board to fit the recess in the back of the mailbox (any painted board should work). Using 2 "deck screws" I mounted that firmly through the stucco to the sheathing underneath. Then two small screws through the eyelet hangers to install the mailbox. Lastly a pan head screw through the center hole. (So the box can not be removed from the wall). Total of 5 screws, 2 - 1.75" exterior wood screws, 2 - 3/4" small screws, 1 - 3/4" pan head screw.

Probably not. I wasn't impressed with this gate. It nearly pulled out of the wall the first time we opened it. I followed the directions to the letter. It was very hard to use in an area with a lot of traffic.

Definitely. Mine is mounted on a wooden gate. It was easy to mount following the instructions. It also has mounting instructions for chain link and other metal gates.

I was able to attach it to the banister on one side and then used a wooden block the thickness of the molding on the wall side to make the gate even. On another one I was able to just use the screws that extend on the wall side to make up for the difference between the molding and the wall.

Yes it could be mounted to an exterior wall with anchors however, it is not a "weatherproof" exterior rated box.

My installer said yes, you could install this mailbox on a metal bar with multiple mailboxes.

Hi - My answer is probably not. I had a standard cheapo mailbox for several years and it seems that the Architectural mailbox is wider and longer. I'd have to look at the specs for both but the mailman can now stick small boxes and packages in the mailbox where before, he couldn't. If it's possible to tear down the existing brick enclosure and rebuild to this mailbox, I'd recommend doing so; this is an excellent mailbox.

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

Yes, it's quite simple. You have 2 choices. (1) Either raise the gate above the baseboard, or (2) get a small piece of wood which equals the thickness of the baseboard. And place that little piece in between the wall and the gate hinge. Going higher will make installation easier since you will miss drilling thru metal edging, but the downside is you will have to step over the bottom rail.

If by stand alone you mean not attach to wall, then no, this is not that type of gate. The gate needs to be nailed/bolted to the wall. Will need special parts to attach it to a stair post.

I don't think so. The way the gate attaches, I think it would have to be directly across from the hardware it hooks into. I haven't tried to mount it at an angle, however. We have it outside, blocking the stairs of our deck and it has worked great. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

No way. When you open the front door, there is a metal plate that forms the mail slot. The slot is only about 2 inches high.

You really can't because there is nothing in the ends to hold in place like an actual gate. Unless you have the perfect fit for one panel I don't recommend using it as a gate. It's very light also. Could be easily knocked down.
