3 out of 5 stars Security Mailbox   June 23, 2008
J. Halsell (North Louisiana)
This mailbox works as described, but my rural postman did not like the little extra effort he had to make to place the mail through the slot, so I went back to a conventional mailbox.


3 out of 5 stars Does the job   February 15, 2008

I must admit that I was disappointed. This mailbox does the job, but is not all that I expected. It is made of "space-age polymers" (plastic). It's very lightweight and has a cheap feel to it's consistency. The price paid for this hunk of plastic seems a bit high. I actually cut my arm on one of the plastic edges while installing this box. br / br / However, it does the job effectively so it's not a total loss. As someone else pointed out, the lock is of good quality, unlike some other units out there. Size is definitely a big factor. My wife and I are on the road a lot, so it's helpful to know that we don't have to trust the USPS to forward our mail, as this box is big enough to hold a month's worth of mail if necessary. br / br / BOTTOM LINE: If I had found this box in a store and had a chance to handle it before purchase, I probably wouldn't have bought it. That being said, it's a much better option than I had before. It'll do, but it's not the "cat's meow".

We have found this to be an excellent product and despite another review I read, we have only had slightly wet mail once during a virtually horizontal rain storm (and of course it could have gotten wet before it went in the box!) It's easy to use and holds A LOT. The ONLY problem that we've had is when an idiot neighbor thinks it's the outgoing mail box and puts their outgoing mail in it...


5 out of 5 stars MailGuard Secure and Safe   November 8, 2007
Jacque Ham (Holt, FL)
Our Mailman suggested the MailGuard Security Mailbox. We installed it on a brick wall at our business. Now we feel secure with mailing/receiving when we are not at work. It has plenty of storage and even kept our mail dry during 20" of rain! br /Thank you, jk


4 out of 5 stars Read reviews before installing   June 28, 2007

Our neighborhood had a rash of mail theft followed by ID credit card fraud. Since then, many of us have purchased locking boxes or rented P.O. boxes. I got this locking box after seeing it at a nearby home. Reading the reviews gave us all the tips we needed to install the box properly. It is very large, so we used a 4X6 post rather than the recommended 4X4. The top door is a bit tight, so our mail carrier does not always close it. I am using my nail file to shave just a bit of plastic off every time I check my mail. br /br /I am curious about how this unique profile will withstand a hurricane. I hope I don't have to find out!
