Ratings & Reviews for Architectural Mailboxes Ironside Metal Standard Mailbox Black

It holds my mail.

Srurdy Mailbox

This mailbox is very sturdt and well built. Due to the original post that existed which included an inegrated newapaper box to mount to, we were offered challenges, but we worked through them and are very pleased with the end result.

Magnetic lid closer

Very solid and looks great.

Worth it!

I love it! It's heavy duty and a little bigger than my old plastic one. It's worth the money.

Very nice mailbox

Very well made and sturdy. Not sure why the large holes in the back corners of the mail box though. I closed them up with some Gorilla tape on the side to keep wasps out in the summer.

Built like a Sherman Tank

Old mailbox latch was missing, door kept falling open, mail getting wet, was rusted and faded. So I spent the extra money and got one that’ll last and looks good doing it. This bad boy weighs 17 lbs.! It’s heavy, black, shiny and sleek. Heavier gauge than usual, that’s actually welded together. Highly recommend!

Heavy duty solid mailbox

This mailbox is made out of a heavy duty steel, with a magnetic door closer The door has an overhang of the metal roof to keep rain from entering the mailbox. Paired this with the #217540 cedar mailbox post for a solid look.

Nothing's perfect

Ordered the mailbox & wood post online for pickup at the store. Unpacked the mailbox to find that the spot welds holding the magnetic door clasp in place had failed. The mailbox must have been dropped on it's face. The handle for the door sticks out past the front edge of the housing. It's a heavy mailbox, so it was like hitting the bracket with a hammer. Didn't want to breach the housing with a drill to rivet it in place, instead used JB Weld for metal to secure it. Have to wait for next w...

nothing to stop the door from full.swing

Looked it

Great Mail Box Except for Bolts

The mailbox is much sturdier than the cheaper ones and I am pleased with it. However, the bolts to connect the mailbox to the base are too big. I had to buy a smaller size. I would recommend this mailbox, but just be prepared that you mail have to purchase bolts.

It’s heavy!

It was available !

Well Made

This mailbox is well made of heavy gauge steel and the door opens and closes effortlessly. There is a magnet that holds the door closed and it works great also.

Worth the price because it outlasts all others

This is our second Gibraltar Heavy Duty Steel Mailbox. Our first (tan color) lasted around 15 years. It was still in good shape, even after many hits from vehicles. We just decided to get a black one to match the one we recently purchased for our parents who live next door. This model is worth the price. We built a post using 30+ year old 6” x 6” posts from an old deck. We notched them like Lincoln logs. It’s super strong.

I wanted white but it only was available in black.

Metal thick and sturdy
