Junk magnet assembly door doesnt stay shut
Would Not RecommendThe magnet assembly doesnt align properly and door is open when we get home. Had to rig it with washers to get to work, broke the magnet that came with it. Finish is also bubbled up, cheap product. Dont get the magnetic closing door.
Great built mailbox.
Would RecommendGreat built mailbox. Only downside is the lid is hard to open.
Mounting
Would RecommendWish there was a bracket for mounting onto a 'T' post
Poor packaging
Would Not RecommendWith no external box/Carton damage to the corrugated over pack I can only presume that the dent in the box got through quality control...
large and sturdy mailbox
Would RecommendThis is a very sturdy mailbox and I love that it's larger than our old one.
Great Box
Would RecommendSeems very sturdy and not too expensive. The magnet does a great job of holding it closed.
Mail carrier prone to breaking door
Would Not RecommendThe door on this mailbox is so heavy that if you have a careless mail carrier the door will drop hard on the hinges and warp the door. When that happens the door will no longer latch. The magnet in it is so small it barely caught the door as it was. The final straw was when our mail carrier kept slamming the door to try to close it and loosened the concrete set post. We tried everything including adding magnets to the door to get it stay closed, but nope. Steer clear and dummy proof your mail bo...

Got the 2nd mailbox home and the magnet was mounted too far back in the mailbox to hold the lid closed. Tired of driving to Lowes, so I fixed it myself.
Our door won't stay shut
Would Not RecommendWe've had ours for about a year or so and the door won't stay shut now. I'm not sure if the magnet isn't strong enough or if the door is worn out. Early on, it was fine, but now it can flop open with a strong gust of wind.
Right Size - Poor Quality Control
Would RecommendI originally bought a Gibraltar Edwards mailbox at "the other" big box hardware store, but the door was manufactured without 1 of 2 rivets attaching the door. It was the last in stock, so I bought another at Lowe's. This mailbox has a defect in the paint where you can clearly see exposed metal. The size is exactly what I need, so I spray painted the defect. Also a slight ding at the rear because the packaging is bare bones. Literally nothing but a cardboard box. 2 out of 2 defects?! That's poor ...
