I began looking for a locking, large capacity mailbox after we put a stop on our mail during a vacation, only to come home and find that our mail had still been delivered. The look of this mailbox was very appealing in pictures, and did not disappoint in person. It is made out of aluminum, but the texture on it gives it more of a look of cast iron or bronze. It appears that it is large enough to hold many days worth of mail (we have not put it to the test yet). As for mounting, it was designed to slide over bolts in the wall through slotted holes in the back that sort of lets the mailbox drop into place. This would have allowed someone (with enough force) to simply lift the entire box up and off of the wall. To counter this, I purchased some "fender washers" to use between the heads of the bolts and the slotted holes so that it could not be lifted off. That being said, I fully understand that if someone were to really want to steal our mail, they would steal it. I think the locking compartment could be pried open with the right tool, or another way would be to fish the mail out through the mail drop slot with some type of mechanical fingers. If someone wanted it bad enough, and were brazen enough, I'm sure the entire mailbox could still be pried right off the wall with the right pry bar and enough force. Like my Dad used to say, "locks only keep the honest people out". I look at this mailbox as being a deterrent to mail theft, but not theft proof - which I think can be said about just about anything. Something else to consider is outgoing mail. Our old mailbox was metal, so we used a magnetic clip to hold our outgoing mail. With this new one being aluminum, we can no longer use the magnetic clip, so we just let our outgoing mail partially stick out under the lid and let the lid hold it. This arrangement works ok for now, but I may do something a little different to hold our outgoing in the future. Very happy with the looks and build quality of my purchase, and it was a very nice upgrade from our old mailbox. I get the feeling that it will last for many years to come. Thanks for reading - hope this helps.

This mailbox is the real deal! I always shop via reviews and this mailbox had great ones, upon receiving and inspecting this is a true made to last product and it's not cheaply made and should not fall apart- probably ever. Although I wasn't looking to spend this much, it's actually well worth every extra penny I had to shove at it.I was looking at other mailboxes to get a bang for my buck but most other boxes that seemed nice- the customers were posting reviews about hinges rusting out and falling apart which to my sorrow kept me searching and reading reviews for a great mailbox that would last a long time.I used to be a mail carrier for the post office so I was looking for a good quality box large enough to hold full size 11x9" envelopes without bending them. I personally know it's annoying to mail carriers to see a box this large that could hold small packages but then sorrowfully find out that there is a locking slot that only allows mail to fit through, thus having to still leave small packages out in the rain. I wanted to avoid that, so I removed the lock and used 3M double-sided automotive tape (available at hardware/auto stores) to permanently stick the slot lid to the top lid so my mail carrier isn't deceived by the slot to think they can't put a package inside. Now when they open the lid they'll never see the slot unless they actually look to see that I've stuck it to the lid for their convenience ;)If you live in the suburbs where your mail carrier walks up to your porch to drop mail, and you don't want your magazines or large envelopes bent/rolled to fit, then THIS IS THE BOX for you!It was not difficult to install, I just measured between the holes, marked the distance on the exterior of my house and used LONG 3" screws (I already had on hand, purchased separately) with wide heads for the box the catch onto. I just used a drill to put the screws in, left them sticking out about a half inch/quarter inch... then slipped the box onto the screws.I'm not worried about theft in my neighborhood, but if you want to prevent someone grabbing your mailbox, once the box is installed you could thread some twine or durable string onto the screws tightly between them inside the box to prevent anyone from lifting your box off the wall, so long as you keep the lock feature on so they can't get inside it (which I didn't do because I'm not worried about it).

The mailbox is well made with a good finish. It is very solid, not the thin cheap metal of most boxes. It is also large and has a nice slot that should accommodate magazines. However, the installation instructions were less than ideal. They provide two screws and say to leave them out a 1/2" for mounting, but fails to mention how or if you can tighten them up once you hang the mailbox. You can, you just need to lift up the locking flap and push down on the white rain catch. I actually needed them out about 3/4" to get the box to hang on them on my brick wall, so there was a lot of trial and error. I also think there should be some buffer (like plastic strips) on the back of the box to keep it from grinding on the wall when you slide it down into the screw notches. But, it's up now, didn't take more than 15 minutes even with this process, and looks great on the wall. I agree with the other reviewers who mention you can fit your hand in the box, so if security is your top concern, this isn't the box for you. I also agree it would be nice to have an outgoing mail flag. Still, overall very happy with the box and I think it will look good on the front of our house for years to come.
