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

Tough

Tough mailbox. Has nice magnetic door but the flag seems cheap and probably be the first thing that breaks

Very durable and well built

I 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.

Very nice solid steel mailbox. Sturdy magnetic catch that I hope will last. A bit on the pricey side.

Strong Box

I 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.

It’s still the best

We bought one of these perhaps 20 years ago, before the company was acquired by its present owner, and finally had to replace it due to the door hinge rivets rusting out. It survived at least one baseball bat attack (a small dent in the top, and I suspect it hurt the attacker more than the box), but was otherwise in good shape until now. I’m happy to say that the new mailbox looks to be of the same degree of sturdiness. They moved the mounting holes, so be prepared to drill if you’re replacin...

Very sturdy

Love this large and heavy duty mailbox. It looks great!
