                  Very nice mailbox!
                  I had to replace my mailbox because the door hinge on my old mailbox ended up breaking off. My old mailbox design used a rivet on each side of the thin sheetmetal door as a hinge. Our mail carrier must be quite rough with the door because the door sheetmetal ripped away from the rivet and caused the door to hang on by the remaining rivet hinge, The metal friction latch also got damaged to the point where it wouldn't hold the door closed. I bought this mailbox because of its sturdy design, i.e. piano hinge door and magnetic catch. When the mailbox arrived I was also impressed my its heft, it appeared well made and did not feel flimsy, especially for the price. My old mailbox was 6" wide so it was a perfect fit for the 6" wide mounting plate that it was attached to using 4 of the side holes. Four side mount holes of this mailbox lined up perfectly with holes in the mounting plate but this mailbox is a little over 7" wide so I used 1/2" nylon spacers to align the mailbox on the mounting plate and attached it using auto body sheetmetal screws and U-nuts. Now it's a pleasure to go to the mailbox!

                    Best Mailbox Ever!!
                    Bought this box 7+ years ago, and it is the best one ever! We live on a fairly quiet, country road but after replacing the box 4 times, I had THIS box in mind when I went shopping! It has survived the town plow multiple times, mailbox baseball, people showing off and losing control, and many (MANY) distracted drivers. You will find yourself picking up car mirrors near your box, but you won't need to replace your box. It claimed another windshield yesterday afternoon from a texting driver. I drilled a couple holes in the top and suspended it from chains to a steel pipe that is set a few feet back behind it. When hit, it may go for a wild ride up and around the pipe, but other then scratching a little paint on the corners, it's good to go! The door is recessed with a magnet to protect the hinge and is big enough to handle usual size packages and mail. I was thinking of installing a scoreboard above the mailbox stating "Mailbox 12 --- Vehicles 0", but people don't need to be challenged more! If you need a new mailbox, run to Home Depot and get this one! The heavy duty material will impress you too!

                      heavy duty, lacking details of design and quality.
                      I am a handy man now and wife and I repair brick mailboxes. I am a machine design mechanical engineer. I require quality boxes. I like the thick outer shell of this mailbox and its powder coat finish over galvanized metal. The door opens 260 degrees so no binding on the hinge which is welded on strongly. There 2 big holes in the bottom rear like 1/2" square? no reason for that. The flag may rust because they left it a rough stamping so the powder coating is messed up. To bad not in white.

                        Holes in the back make this a good home for wasps
                        It's a mailbox so I'm not asking for like a watertight system you could throw in a lake or anything, but the back panel of the mailbox is not even a full sheet of metal and has two sizeable holes on each bottom corner which make a very welcoming entrance for bugs. If you buy this mailbox, I highly recommend sealing those holes from the inside with something before installing. Excuse me while I go fight some wasps out of their nest...

                          Solid mailbox
                          Easily installation replaced mailbox and post. The mailbox is nice quality construction and should last a long time. Set post in concrete and mailbox predrilled holes aligned perfectly to post and bolted directly to post. Mailbox has two sets of mounting holes. Added a bit of bling by painting the shell in hammered copper color. Like the way the copper/black combo came out.

                            Flag components require some assembly, 9 pieces in total (including flag itself). My particular box didn't come with instructions, but it wasn't too difficult to figure out. I added red DOT2 reflective tape to the flag in an effort to conceal the reflector as much as possible for a clean install. You can fine tune the flag tension which is nice. Good construction overall. Probably one of the heaviest traditional style boxes available on the commercial market. The door inset should aid nicely in keeping water out and the box contents dry.

                            Heavy-duty for sure
                            My neighbor backed into and damaged my last 2 mailboxes with his truck. I knew I needed something that could hold up if it happens again. No cheap plastic surround or cheesy handle on this box. Full plate steel and the door and handle are recessed offering better protection. Only damage I foresee if he hits this is with his truck or the wooden post will snap and I’ll have to upgrade to a metal one. There was a small paint chip from the factory that was touched up, but it’s probably only gonna get hit again anyway lol.

                              This is a great very heavy duty mail box, very easy to install, with many great features , like a real strong magnet to keep the door closed and a heavy red flag to let the mail person know there is mail to be picked up.The color is very shiny black and looks great. This mail box should last for many years with just a little care. It comes with pre drilled holes inside for mounting but no mounting hardware.

                              This Gibraltar Ironsides black heavy-duty steel post mount mailbox is very heavy! It is made very well and should hold up to lots of abuse. It’s a simple design with a magnetic catch to hold the door closed and a simple alert flag to raise to signal mail. You will be surprised at how heavy it is when you first pick it up to install it. A great deterrent to those who want to damage your mailbox.

                              SUPER HEAVY DUTY. And also really heavy in weight. They say this is baseball bat proof and I believe it. Quality paint job and very easy to assemble. I would definitely make sure your pole is strong enough to support the weight. Love the magnetic closure and it had a very good clasp. I added the vinyl house numbers, they do not come with the mailbox. I’d say I would purchase this brand again but I think this mailbox will outlive me.
