Choosing a locking mailbox
- Be sure you get one that will last, and that is made of solid weatherproof material.
- Are they all keyed individually, or are there just a few tumbler styles to choose from?
- Choose a security mailbox that is approved for use by the Postmaster general.
- Get a mailbox large enough for all of your mail, especially while away on vacation
- Get one that will not need professional installation, unless you’re prepared to pay much more for it.
- Consider where you want the mail retrieval door. Some are located in the rear.
- Be sure all exposed lock surfaces are tamper and wrench proof.
- Is the construction welded together, or just pop-riveted?
