Review on πŸ“¬ Designer Locking Medium Capacity Galvanized Steel Black Wall-Mount Mailbox by Gibraltar Mailboxes, Model DVK00000 by Jay Campbell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Second purchase

Bought one to be 3 moves behind, paid about $52 in stock and this one was good and powerful. I never thought I would need it again so I left it in this house. Then recently moved and after wandering around the property, I finally found 'my' new mailbox - a 6" x 1" x 10" box hanging askew on a nail on the homeowner's porch , exposed to the weather, lid won't close and no home. Number on it. This would never match the mail I receive let alone the veterinary magazines I receive monthly. So I bought the cheapest option here on Amazon .It arrived and doesn't look like the first one I bought.But it's a big box with a lid so I installed it.It had to be installed on a small plywood square that was attached to the house because of the silly seam around the back that prevented it from hanging flush. There is one center hole and two gliding holes on each side (the existing width of the plywood only allowed one gliding hole and one center hole. A For some reason it's not tight no matter how I tighten the screws so it slides/wiggles home. As with the previous mailbox I glued the lock slot onto the lid so it would rise as a single piece and made up my own house number , which I then attached, will be enough for a short time, but it's crap and should be cheaper for this quality.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Commercial availability
