Nice solid large mailbox but with a few flaws

This is a heavy duty durable mailbox. I installed it on a stucco wall along the driveway in front of our house and it is very reliable. It doesn't look big in my environment, but if it were attached to the wall of my house it would look bulky. The flag is cheap plastic and doesn't match the solid feel of the rest of the thick steel. I don't know what they were thinking. My biggest complaint is that the access door opens and falls all the way down so accumulated mail just falls out. Yes you can…

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Dull packaging

Powerful and multifunctional!

Thicker steel than mailboxes in large hardware stores. Very good assembly of lock and latch. (It's a good idea to always put a quick spritz of WD40 in each new lock with a thin straw before operating it.) The internal clip protects outgoing mail from the elements, and the red flag slider represents "Peel and stick". You can place it on any page. Also includes three basic sets of reflective numbers that can be placed anywhere you like. Robust mounting devices with 5-point wall mount or 4-point…

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Functionality

Solid build, great looks

I bought a Mail Boss 7160 Metro Locking Security Wall Mailbox (Galaxy Color) to replace an old non-locking mailbox I had when I bought my house in 1998. Outside the house has been painted, it's time for a new mailbox. The Mail Boss 7160 was larger than I thought it would be and at first I was worried it would be too big. However, after installing the mailbox in the house, the days pass, I am more and more satisfied with this purchase. The mailbox is big enough for a week's mail, the lock is…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some bugs

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…

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • Minor issues

This mailbox is reliable, value for money and can be installed by one person if you first install a small handle-shaped bracket. Watch the video and use the level. I bought WHITE to match my door. Choose your color carefully. Are you approaching a door or a wall? It does not come with a 0:38 black rubber protective sleeve which prevents the tall burglar-proof lock from freezing if water gets in. The accessories should be kept in the packaging when not mounted on the wall under the porch. The…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Not everything fits
