Ratings & Reviews for Architectural Mailboxes Ironside Metal Standard Mailbox Black

You Have Mail

This is a very well constructed and designed mail box with a replaceable magnetic door catch. Easy to install

Tough mailbox!

This mailbox is heavy duty! Several years ago I had to replace our mailbox with a plastic one after some idiot hit it with a baseball bat but my wife hated the new mailbox. It was bulky and unattractive. I put up a new wooden post and when I found this mailbox and saw how sturdy it was made I knew it could take a lick and keep on providing a safe sturdy place for our mail to be delivered. And it looks great too!

Open the box before you leave the store

+ it's a large, sturdy mailbox - the one I got had a faulty Hong that I didn't discover until after attaching my address stickers

Great quality

Upgraded mailbox and I am super happy with the durability and quality of this product .

Not really

It is described as nearly indestructible but didnt stand up to a hammer and Im sure wouldnt stand up to a ball bat either. The steel used is just too thin and still caves in.

Perfect

It's the perfect size for all of my packages! My mail man often skipped over my house for scheduled pickups because he didn't want to walk to my door. I replaced my old mailbox with this one and now he has no excuse not to leave them! The extra lip on the front prevents rain from getting inside so I never have any issues with wet mail or packages anymore.

Strong sturdy mailbox

Strong sturdy mailbox, hopefully it stands up to the brats that like to play mailbox tag in our neighborhood. Only issue is the lid slams down when you open it but otherwise I have no complaints. I like the magnetic closure vs the regular mailbox closure. Overall happy with my purchase.

This mailbox is a Beast!

I was tired of replacing mailboxes, so I picked this box up. No regrets. Today it had it’s THIRD trial by fire and ate it’s third vehicle mirror. Little scratched and I’ve had to bend the lip back out, but still the same strong box. I paired my mailbox with a wood post and foam rather than concrete. The wood and foam helps this box to hold up to the energy it receives on impact.

Indestructible

You get what you pay for. I've owned this box for going on 5 years. It has been hit twice by wreckless drivers. Although I had to either repair or replace the cedar pole it sits on, the box was practically untouched. On one of the hits I noticed the door scraped on one side when opened/closed. I simply took a hammer and tapped the door/hinge, and knocked it back into place. The paint has also held up well. After two hits, any scrape or scratch didn't completely remove the paint, so it remains ru...

Built like a tank

Solid mailbox. It could benefit from having a chain or stop to keep the door from opening all the way down (pointed at the ground). Otherwise this thing is solid. I’d say I’d buy it again but probably wont need to!

Great look and size

Great size for a family of three holds packages and every thing

Solid

This thing is built top notch. Just grabbing the handle let’s you know it will last.

Gibraltar Mailboxes Ironside 7.8-in W x 9.6-in H M

Just recently got the opportunity to put up a new post and install the mailbox. This is one solid and heavy unit. Although it has the outward appearance of a "traditional" mailbox its construction is much sturdier, anyone who tries to vandalize it may be in for a surprise. I expect it to last many years.

IRONSIDE MAILBOX

Great mailbox. sturdy, REAL Steel, well built! Buy a cheaper mailbox and they rust, parts fall off, and they easily dent. This box will last for a long time and won't fall apart.
