This is my second purchase - first for myself and finding it to be wonderful, bought for my mother. It is sturdy, good construction, good movements of parts. Only issue I might let you all know about is... if you want to leave letters in your box for your mailman to pick up. You have to bend in half and insert into clip provided that is on the "door". The thing is, if you want this for security reasons, you will be taking your mail to the post office anyway, right? Gist of it is, my mother and I both feel better leaving for a couple of days because we no longer worry about mail being left in the mailbox.

After our old mailbox got blown over in a windstorm, we had to research buying a new one. We read a lot of reviews and came upon this mailbox as being a very good one. This is powdered white aluminum and will hold up well for the next 15-20 years I'm sure. We are not disappointed in anyway. It is a medium to large size mailbox that also locks (which is great considering all the mail theft that goes on these days).We purchased a separate brand mailbox post (by Salsbury) and bought the universal install kit to go with this. The holes did not match up perfectly with the post, so we had to drill a couple extra ones in the bottom of the universal kit to make it fit, but it really wasn't that big of a deal. We were able to install it within about an hour. The locking aspect is great for us and we also get a lot of compliments on it.

Bought this for one reason: to make it be just like a normal mailbox by removing the internal security parts so I could have a big enough quality mailbox to hold packages. I removed the parts by bending back the piano hinges on the lock door part and grinding off the spot welds(used a dremel grinding tool) for the other brackets(4 spot welds for both brackets, 8 total). I did this because I could not find another mailbox that had what I wanted: big door handle, piano door hinge, magnetic catch, big enough to hold most packages, had the optional white color, and under $100. I don't understand why Gibraltar doesn't make this mailbox without the internal lock and without the brackets. 4 out of 5 stars because I had to do some work to modify it.Update 2017: finally got around to having the mailbox installed. Perfect after my modifications.

Overall, this seems like the better of the locking mailbox options out there for this style of mailbox. If I had more time to devote to this, I would change my mailbox style or look into something custom that looks better, but I had a recent mail theft and needed a solution for now.DESIGN: is nice overall. I was disappointed that there are two distinct small dents in the top sides that detract from the look. I thought they were shipping damage, but upon closer look they are where the inside part attaches to each side. Would have been nice if they could accomplish this without dents. Again, I need a quick solution so I didn't return, but for the price I was disappointed.SECURITY: It locks and seems secure enough to deter the lazy or time-pressed thieves. As other reviewers have pointed out, a hand can go through the slot. But, in person the slot has a kind of cover to deter someone from easily curbing their hand down and grabbing mail. It's certainly not bullet proof, and if someone was motivated and brought tools they could probably crack it open as noted in other reviews. Modification for better security is possible as another reviewer noted, and I will consider that. Consider your neighborhood and where you are mounting it. If you're in an area prone to theft, or where a thief would have time or the feeling of privacy to really work on it, you may want to pass. In my area, there have been recent mail and package thefts that are more casual where the thieves check a few boxes/houses on a street, grab what they can easily get, and move on quickly. Given that, this should suit my needs. I don't feel I have perfect security now, but I feel much later than I did yesterday when anyone can open my box. Only one time in 7 years living here I got mail stolen, so I consider myself lucky but I am worried about identity theft and it was a pain in the rear.If you find my review helpful, please mark it as such. It makes my day!

After reading other reviews on this mailbox, I was concerned about how secure my mail would be. The issue is that the upper slot (where the postal worker drops the mail) is pretty wide. People with smaller hands can get a hand into the opening and pull out mail. I am an average size male and I was able to (with a little effort). There are a number of locking mailboxes on the market, but some look goofy or didn't fit the look of my house/neighborhood, so I still chose this one. I made a couple of modifications to it which make it much better. Both pretty cheap fixes. First I cut a piece of angle stainless steel (aluminum would work too) and made the gap just a little smaller (this was about a five minute fix). Now no one can get a hand in and the gap is still large enough for my mail. The other fix is not needed at all, but for my convenience. I bought (through an Amazon reseller. Search on "combination Cam Lock 5/8 Cylinder"), a combination lock to replace the key lock ($15). Now people who see my mailbox want one. It is nice looking and even with my little fixes, less expensive than most locking mailboxes I researched.
