 A Sturdy, Well-Made Mailbox w/ Some Security July 15, 2008
This is a high-quality product. It is well-made and is finished well. The entry door is designed and operates much like a standard, US post office, mailbox. When open, the rear portion of the door blocks access to the lower chamber of the box. Mail drops from behind the entry door into the lower chamber, when the door is closed. The door to the lower chamber is secured from the outside front by a keyed lock. The mailbox itself is all painted, heavy-gage, steel construction. It should not be easily damaged by inclement weather conditions or light impacts. It is doubtful a single swing of a bat or club would severely damage it. I also doubt if an exploding plastic soda bottle would do serious damage to the box.
The security level is low, but sufficient to prevent the casual passerby from reaching in and extracting items. However, I feel quite sure the lock could be easily picked and the lower chamber door could be pried open by a determined thief.
The box has a flag and the entry door has an inside-mounted clip to hold outgoing mail, for those individuals whom utilize mail pick-up from their home mailbox. However, there is no security with this feature.
Those who want to mount the mailbox on a post should consider purchasing the optional 46-1/2 in. long, tubular steel, mounting post. They may also want to imbed the post in concrete. It will require about one (1) cubic foot of concrete (apprx. 150 lb). The mounting plate on the post fit right up w/ the four (4) mounting holes in the underside of the mailbox. Threaded-fasteners are supplied w/ the post. It makes a great looking and highly-functional, finished package.
One additional thought, those homes on motor routes that have newspaper delivery will have to retain their present newspaper receptacles as this box has no provision to receive and hold a newspaper. Although, a newspaper receptacle could be mounted to the side of the mailbox, the highest point on the mailbox mounting post is too low for directly mounting the paper receptacle.
Theft safe mailbox April 15, 2008
This mailbox is a very secure. We were constantly worried about the possibility of identity theft from our rural box, but no more. The mailman inserts the mail in the top; it falls to the bottom, and then you retrieve it by opening the bottom box with a key. It is heavily built and looks nice, too.
Oasis Mailbox March 26, 2008
This is a large mailbox and worth the extra cost. It is more secure than the ones I have looked at in the local Lowes and Home Depot! It is easy to install and looks great at the roadside edge.
 Quality Mailbox March 13, 2008

This is a very high quality mailbox with heavy gauge metal, careful seam work, and excellent finish. I only wish the door was designed for larger boxes and the lock compartment was in the back.
Mail box February 18, 2008
The order was received on time and in great condition. The mailbox and post were simple to install. It is working out great for us.
