Would RecommendThis 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
Would RecommendThis 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.

Solid
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mailbox is solid, to say the least. I was quite surprised at the quality this mailbox had to offer. I got this to replace my old one and it was easy to swap out.

Tough!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one tough mailbox. I live in a very rural area and frequently have my mailbox abused by Vandals. Demolishing this mailbox will take some doing on the vandals part. I order a lot of things by mail and the size of this mailbox will be easy for packages to be put into.I won’t need to replace this mailbox for years to come.

Heavy duty!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised when I picked this mailbox up and felt how heavy it was. It is made heavy duty, I won't have to worry about this one getting damage by anything hitting it. I also like that the steel hangs over the opening to help protect the mail from getting wet from rain or snow. The door is easy to open, I think being magnetic is a nice upgrade. It is painted nicely and it large enough to fit small packages in it. It is by far the best ...

Very Sturdy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to get a new mailbox but imagine my surprise when this heavy duty mailbox showed up. Our old mailbox has been up for several years, missing the flag, the door doesn't shut properly so this was much needed. I did have to wait to put it up until the ground thawed but the putting in the post was the hardest part. The mailbox is extremely solid and can hold a lot of mail/packages. This is definitely and upgrade to our flimsy...

A Beast of a Mailbox
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super duty mailbox!!! I was shocked to feel how heavy it was. Our previous mailbox had a run in with a snowplow, and while this wont likely stand up to it, it feels like it is far sturdier than our previous mailbox. The black color is visually appealing and looks great. I would recommend to other for sure!

Tough
Would RecommendTough mailbox. Has nice magnetic door but the flag seems cheap and probably be the first thing that breaks
Very durable and well built
Would RecommendI wanted a sturdy mailbox with a magnetic latch. This did not disappoint. The only downside is that we wanted a red mailbox. As this mailbox is only offered in black in my area, I scuff sanded it and spray painted it red. The door is strong and lined up perfectly with the mailbox and magnetic latch.
Nice option over lesser quality mailboxes.
Would RecommendVery nice solid steel mailbox. Sturdy magnetic catch that I hope will last. A bit on the pricey side.
Strong Box
Would RecommendI bought this box ~3+ years ago because our boxes kept getting hit. This box has been hit at least a dozen times now. It is a champ. It has taken several side mirrors off and has been hit by many vehicles and trailers even though it is set back 14 inches. Yes, it is dented and banged up, but is still useable and very strong. Highly recommended.
