Gibraltar Mailboxes Universal Mounting PLMB0060 Review

It was easy enough to install but the one page instructions are in the joke. It provides a useful chart, but the rest has been written. I do not know. Be sure to cut out the "adapters" built into the panel. There's no explanation as to what the adapters are for (I haven't used them) but if they are not removed the plate will not seat properly in some setups. The kit includes screws to attach the plate to the wooden post and these are ridiculously long screws (and nuts) which I think should be…

I ordered this mailbox mount to mount a standard steel mailbox to a standard cedar pole. This bracket serves its purpose. There are options for installing your mailbox in a number of different orientations, and there are instructions for each installation orientation. All devices were there. This bracket is qualitatively superior to the old wooden brackets. It is made of high-density plastic and will not break. From the moment I opened the box to the moment I admired a job well done, it took…

This product will NOT fit the very large Gibraltar post box. I *thought* I had a large mailbox (other reviews said it would fit), but it turned out to be very large. Well, universal mount, right?!?! I opened the package and was shocked at how small it was. I've read about using extensions so I've tried but they won't even stay in place without a screw and the screws aren't long enough to fit.

In fact, this someone was walking up and down the street beating many mailboxes in the country with a bat. When I reinstalled the same box, the door of which cracked slightly, I used one of those plastic mounting plates (I bought 6) (btw, these plates come with a small bag full of mounting hardware - various screws and a couple of hex nuts, plus page full of drawings who suggest how to

I received this to mount a Gibraltar Tuff Body post box on a 4x4 post and it was intimidatingly flimsy and very difficult to attach to the post box. : Tuff Body Mailbox is VERY heavy; he weighs about 20 kilos. This PLMB0060 mounting plate may not have been designed to carry that much weight and be stable, so it could have been used with a lighter mailbox. However, after I completed the installation, the box rocked back and forth on the rack. as if it were mounted on a piece of rubber. I…

Bottom line this works with Gibralter's 8.7" High Capacity Mailbox and that in itself is useful info as Revain doesn't provide any information, no "Frequently bought with" and even a search does not find this mounting plate. To find it I had to read all the reviews and questions until someone from Gibraltar answered the question and then by the item number I found it. However, the way it works is that it comes with 4 plastic extensions that you slide out of the mounting plate that fit into the…
