Offered here are the newly redesigned units with the front access door over-lap the lockbox opening. These locking mailbox inserts will be much more difficult to "jimmy" open the door. They now also have a more heavy-duty hinge and an upgraded higher security door lock including three keys.
Mailbox Lockboxes - Available in two sizes:
This listing is for a locking mailbox insert. This listing DOES NOT include the mailbox itself. These lockboxes get installed inside your existing mailbox or you can purchase a new standard mailbox from your local hardware store or home center. Mailbox Lockboxes create a locking compartment inside your mailbox to make casual mail theft much more difficult. It is an effective visual deterrent and creates an obstacle that tells the thief to move on to an easier target.
THE MOST IMPORTANT buying rule would be to MEASURE THE OPENING of your mailbox. I can't explain why.... but the most common mistake customers make is.... purchasing a 7.5" wide locking insert for their 6" wide mailbox.

Don't be that person. And don't guess. Measure your mailbox. Please ! :)

Quality:
I have seen many lockboxes on the market over the years, but these are still the best. They are made from heavy 16 gauge steel with a stainless steel piano-style door hinge and a high quality powder-coated glossy black finish (no flimsy aluminum or plastic imitations here). The doors are made from 14 gauge steel and are un-bendable by hand. It also has a custom-made, extra thick cam lock (two keys included). And... they are Made-In-The-USA. This specific style lockbox has undergone some recent upgrades. The doors now overlap the opening make it more tamper resistant. We have also upgraded the lock to one that is more strong and secure. We also include 3 keys for the lock.

Mailbox Lockboxes do not receive official Post Office approval like a mailbox, but lockboxes have become very common and only in a rare occasion does a local Post Office have a problem with them being used. We have also found that in areas where mail theft is prevalent (especially California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico), most local Postmasters have found them to be an acceptable inexpensive remedy to a growing problem. Buy with confidence. We offer a guaranteed 30 Day Full Merchandise Refund. If you return the lockbox, you are responsible for paying the return shipping.
