The mailbox is reported to be sturdy and have a good locking mechanism, but some customers experienced issues with leakage, difficulty accessing mounting holes, and lack of support for replacement parts. The large mail slot and ability to hold a week's worth of mail were appreciated, but the inability to leave outgoing mail when locked was a drawback.

Would RecommendThis mailbox replaced a non-locking mailbox. Just one more step as a result of identity theft of my bank account. I did drill out some holes in the bottom so I could hang a name sign under the box.

Great value and construction
Would RecommendIt is fairly easy to install. Your mail is secure so even if you are away from home for a couple of days your mail will be there when you get back.

Awesome mailbox
Would RecommendThis mailbox looks so beautiful outside my door. It has a very classy look and it's too large, but large enough to fit a magazine or something in my box. I also love that you need a key to open it because I can be assured that no one will be able to get into my mail when I'm not home.

OK
Would Not RecommendPros: Locks so no one can tamper with your mail. Can hold a week's worth of mail if you go away. Cover over top of mail slot to prevent rain from coming in. Comes with two keys. Easy to install. Pretty sturdy. Simple design. Cons: Always locked. No place to put your outgoing mail or notify your mail carrier you have outgoing mail.
Lockable?
Would RecommendMaybe I misinterpreted that, but when I bought the mailbox I thought it had the capacity to be locked, not that it would always be locked. Not that big a deal, but you must have the key in order to retrieve your mail. On the positive side, it does hold a great deal. Negative? No flag to alert the postman to pick mail up.
