Ratings & Reviews for Gibraltar Mailboxes Ironside Metal Standard Mailbox Black

Heavy duty

Built like a tank!

A good mailbox.

We are happy with the overall mailbox and especially the magnetic lid latch.

Great magnetic latch!

Needed the magnetic door latch to battle the wind that used to blow open my flimsy plastic box's door, taking my mail with it. Works great!

Product arrived damaged

I finally got around to installing my new mailbox and after opening the box I noticed that the front edge was chipped. According to the manufacturer that's "not a manufacturer defect". "It's a shipping defect" which they don't stand behind. The mailbox was in their packaging which has no extra spacing. So note that if you choose to purchase anything from this company, you are purchasing from a company that only cares about getting products out the door as fast as they can, no matter how crappy t...

Almost got a good mailbox needed extra things.

Liked: heavy material, size, glossy. Disliked: box picture, user guide, and online details did not match up. Cheap aluminum type screws broke, box picture did not show uses rubber stoppers to lift off post, mailbox not sealed on inside as had two square holes in back, and as lifted off the post, two circular holes in bottom would allow insects in. Magnet does hold tight, but lid still wiggles. Reached out to company and they are forwarding info to designer. You do need to purchase different scr...

Solid Box

This is a heavy duty mailbox! I love the magnetic door catch and the fact that the door is weather protected, being under the hood of the box itself.

Great looking box

Very sturdy box doesn’t feel cheap

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...
