Ratings & Reviews for Gibraltar Mailboxes Patriot Plastic Large Mailbox Black

Great Box

Of all the ones I checked out at the store I liked this one the best because it stayed closed better, is the perfect size for small packages without being too big and I think it will do better against the weather.

Quick to come out!

The guy that came out was super nice and quick to come out I barely waited a minute or so.

Good Design but Concerned About Product Life

The mailbox’s compact design and shape are commendable. Its smaller side profile is advantageous, potentially reducing the impact of snow during winter plowing. Unlike my previous metal mailboxes, which were prone to deformation and rust, this one is made of plastic. However, the flexibility of the plastic raises concerns about the door opening when struck by snow, potentially allowing moisture inside and wetting the mail. The validity of my concern will be determined over time.

Not as wide as you may have been expecting

It was 2 " narrower than the same type I had bought at Lowes a few years ago. It appears the manufacturer decided to show the overall width instead of the interior width.

Highly Recommend

I have had this exact mailbox for 30 years now and it is still going strong even in the hot South Texas heat. Repainted my red and yellow flag a few times and armor all the box to freshen it up because I am picky and like it to look new, but I would definitely recommend this box. It holds a lot of mail and packages too. Love the feature with the yellow flag that lets me know when I have mail. Fixing to purchase a new one only because my post is finally starting to rot so I will get all new w...

make sure it will line up with the plate

Like the yellow notice that you have mail

Cheap but nice

Nice mailbox

Works exactly as a mailbox should - holds mail.

I like the double flags. Could be stronger

I like the product itself, but would like if it were reinforced to withstand some more lateral force. I had to replace the one I installed 18 months ago because the force of snow from the plow broke it beyond repair. I also would like it if in store pickup were available instead of special ordering it.

Sturdy and large enough for packages

This is a good sturdy hard plastic mailbox with should last me for years.l

Good quality, easy to install.

Comes pre-assembled, very easy to install on an existing 2x4 or 4x4 cross-piece, just needs four screws 1-1/2" or longer. Really fast and easy to install. Would have given five stars, but bought this one to replace the same model, on which the door was hit and broke off (I suspect it was open and the mailman pulled up too close and hit it). Both pivot points on the door broke completely off. Would have been nice if a softer plastic was used, so the pivot point would pop out instead of crack. Don...
