This is a nice replacement for my really old standard mailbox. I like the magnetic catch for the door closure. It seems to be made of steel just as thick as my last mailbox that lasted at least 40 years. The flag is held on with a plastic mount. We will see how long that lasts. At least there are replacement flags if it ever breaks. All in all this is a nice mailbox and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for one.

I am the service adviser for a garage. I'm also the keeper of keys and grounds, customer service, the manager, tech support, and occasionally a technician/grease monkey. Basically, everything that happens here flows through me at least once, often multiple times. I love my job(s). The last year has been absolutely fantastic, truly. Also, it is a near-constant amusement to me, the things that I have to research and learn about in order to keep this business running. Today, for example, I found myself trying to figure out what mailbox I purchased.You see, our previous mailbox was no spring chicken to begin with, and it's stationary (yet colorful) life was finally ended by a hit-and-run driver. We shall remember it fondly. The devastation was... breathtaking. Perhaps, almost beautiful. Now, admittedly, setting off on a quest to find the perfect replacement mailbox was not high on my priority list. After a brief consideration of my options, I opened Amazon and simply picked one that was inexpensive, black, and vaguely tough-looking.After a few days wait, and after seeing a USPS worker almost die laughing at the ironic realization that the post office wouldn't deliver my mailbox to me because I had turned my mail off because I didn't have a mailbox, our new mailbox arrived. And as far as being inexpensive, black, and vaguely tough-looking goes, it -excelled-. There is really no other word for it. In fact, it really was excellent in those regards. So we pounded a post into the ground, and bolted the box to the post, and life (and the mail) returned to normal.One fateful day, I went out to fulfill my shiny new mailbox's sole purpose in life, and noticed scuff marks. The poor little guy had been clipped. Two or three days later, more scuff marks and a broken handle: clipped again. I was morbidly, all-consumingly, entirely and irrefutably mildly disinterested in the idea of reordering a mailbox, and therein entered my amusement: besides scuff marks, all I needed was a handle, and for that, all I needed was to know what I actually bought. And so, that's how I developed the need to learn about mailboxes. A quick check of the backside gave me a name (Gibraltar), and a quick Google led me to a website. A brief run through their product list led me to a model, and a snappy foray into their parts catalog led me to a dead-end. I am currently awaiting a replay from their help desk.Having survived two near-death experiences already in such a young life, I have decided that our worthy new friend deserves a title. After much deliberation, including though-provoking discussions and some deep, deep soul searching about "roses by any other name," I have creatively chosen to call it "Franklin."As I look out the window at the business next door, I see a rusted mailbox, obviously old, that is either taped or strapped to a crooked pole in an extraordinarily, almost mindbogglingly lopsided manner. And in so doing, I believe I see the future of our much beloved Franklin. My hopes are high. And I really do believe Franklin's resolve is sound.You know, I went into this without much in the way of expectations. But I think I can safely vouch for the durability, the tenacity, the steadfastness, and the (insert adjective for "tough" here) of our dear Franklin. Cheers to you, Gibraltar. Keep up the great work.And cheers to you, Franklin. Many happy returns.

This is well-made and is a standard size that should make it an easy installation as a replacement box. The paint job is even and attractive. The magnet works fine to hold the door shut. There is enough flat space on the door to apply large numerals. The flag mechanism works fine.

I really like the look of this mailbox, it’s very streamlined and I really like the silver flag, I also really like that the flag is also made out of metal. It’s easy to open and close, I love the front handle on it. It holds a fair amount of mail, and was really easy to install.My only complaint is the metal is fairly thin, so it’s actually not that difficult to dent, especially during the install. I got a small dent in mine while installing, thankfully the metal is thin enough that it isn’t very hard to pop out the dent, but there is still a small indention where you can tell it had a dent in it.Even with that though I’m happy with the mailbox, it’s a fast improvement over my old one.

Found this to be a nice mail box, looks good and seems sturdy with a magnetic door closure. We needed a new box after someone destroyed ours with an iron pipe. Found a good price on this one and so far, happy with it. Hope the box destroyers will leave it alone. Just be certain to allow room for the door to swing down when placing on your post.

Very nice, well built mailbox. It has a magnet to keep the door shut, which is a plus. Looks very sleek.

Sturdy and looks good. And the customer service was great!

The magnetic closing is perfect at making it easier for my mailman to secure my mail!

Passed our mailman’s quality requirements, haven’t had any issues since we swapped the old one out. Is holding up well in a Canadian winter!

Excelente material y buen terminado

Used for the top of a modern mailbox I built.Great looking mailbox, a little small...I'd likely opt for a larger one next time. It seems a bit pricey but I couldn't find one cheaper that looked this good.

Magnetic latch is easy to open and close. As for dislikes the door is embossed with US MAIL i think just MAIL would make it more saleable to other countries. Didn’t come with any hardware like screws or threaded fasteners.
