Pros & Cons
Pros
Mailbox box is very sturdy, a good size and even good looking. Good touches like including a high quality wood drill bit and nice lag screws. The post that is specifically designed for this mailbox is highly recommended. It uses 12 and 14 gauge steel ... Read More
Very easy to install and with simple to understand instructions. Add 2 bags of instant concrete ($5 each at home depot) the only thing i'd change is to have a spring closure for the mail slot. Easy to install via a plate not attached to the main box.
Box looks like it will keep out the scourge. Is it 100% no, but it is going to detour mail thieves. Only thing i have my doubts about is an open area for outgoing mail.
Cons
Construction appears durable, but bottom hinge of the locking door rusts. Without this hinge, the box is useless. Customer service can only provide a new lock and keys. This mailbox is not antitheft at all.
There was a puddle of water in the back of the mail box. Maybe one of the pins is bent, or rusty.
This is evidently what one gets at this price, but it is not a quality product. Too big for a residential mailbox. This thing weighs 40 lbs!
Highlights
Quality
Good design well built easy to install
This thing is heavy duty and well made
Bolt on the installation plate slde on the mailbox and attach the security screews
It is cheap plastic and will likely get brittle after a few years and crack
Price
For the price this is a good sturdy locking mailbox
Best money spent to feel safe and secure
If so this is worth the price charged
It may cost a little more but well worth it

It’s very easy to install however one of the holes where you attach the box to the mounting bracket was very badly misaligned
