Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Original locks have the lock bar pivot centered on the lock, while these are offset. Comes with all kinds of levers for whatever works for your mailbox.



Cons

Replacement lock is garbage. Went to a locksmith to get the part. It's not universal with all mailboxes.

At first glance it looks like you can return it. Return not allowed by supplier. Is going to the landfill.
