Review on Mail Boss 7162 Locking Mailbox by Jeff Kersey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Robust construction with attention to detail.

No mailbox is 100% secure. A person with a crowbar and a hammer will easily open this device. At best, this device will deter unarmed thieves from attacking your mail. It's easier to go somewhere else than suffer from a locked mailbox. Robbers don't want to make noise and create suspicious scenes. Here are the "good" and "bad" qualities of this product. BENEFITS.1. STRONG CONSTRUCTION: The box is heavy - 16 gauge steel.2. INSTALLATION: The mounting bracket makes it easy to install such a heavy and bulky device.3. ATTENTION TO DETAIL: The manufacturer takes care of everything. First there are three keys. If one breaks or is lost, there are two spares. Second, there is a red plastic clasp that signals the postman that there is outgoing mail. Third, a set of reflective numbers is provided to identify the address.4. VALUE: Among Revain's wall models, this is the cheapest price. In fact, mine was only $35 - IN OPEN BOX, LIKE NEW. CONS.1. The steel screws were of poor quality. One of the five tore his head off during installation.
