Mail Boss 7500 Mail Manager Pro Curbside Security, Black Locking Mailbox with House Numbers, Mounting Plate and Pull Out Mail Tray

After moving to our new home 2 years ago, we found that our mailboxes are hit by mail thieves on a regular basis. Unfortunately, our little community post office also gets broken into quite regularly, so a PO Box at the post office also isn’t the most secure route. We installed the Mail Boss, and thieves don’t bother to take the time to try and break into it. They simply go for the quick and easy unlocked boxes. It was easy to install, and actually holds a good bit of mail. In fact our mail carrier somehow managed to shove an 8 inch skillet in it! We loved the feature that keeps someone from sticking their hand down inside to grab mail. We have now recommended this box to several neighbors dealing with the same mail theft issues. It is a little costly, but it quickly pays for itself once you calculate the cost of renting a PO Box for several years. We definitely recommend!

The mounting plate allows easy access to screw in place. The last box required a ratchet inside the mailbox.

The mailbox was in great shape and well worth the money. Easy to install. The only negative is that the red flag on the side is plastic and doesn’t stay down when it gets windy. I will figure out a way to keep it down. But we are very happy with the mailbox.

Works great !! no worries about having my mail stole anymore !

Solved our mailbox theft problem. Can still accomodate small packages.

Made of heavy steel, strong and secure. Lock is heavy duty. Get the steel pole that goes with it. The pole goes over a 4 X 4 post installed in the ground. Inside is a pull-out mail basket for easy access to incoming mail. Built to be absolutely dry inside, even in storms. Best decision we have made in years.

We have a remote mailbox, and the Mail Boss 7500 has stopped the mail theft by our local drug addicts. Solid construction, plenty of room for large envelopes, and plenty of room for day-to-day deliveries.

The TL;DR:A reasonably solid security mailbox with matching accessories that can be installed in an afternoon. You may find yourself researching alternative lock cylinders due to the key design and key-retaining lock cylinder.THE GOOD (positives):• The box has a satisfyingly minimal profile• Reasonably heavy gauge material while not being unwieldy to install• Lock appears to be far more pick resistant than a typical wafer-tumbler (or in some uses, erroneously called a disc-tumbler) cylinder• Reasonably clear instructions• The mounting plate is a nice touch: no trying to work a ratchet within the confines of the mailbox to mount it to a post or rail - mount the plate then slot the box onto it which also means no penetrations on the bottom for water to seep throughTHE BAD (quibbles):• The powder coat finish isn't as thick as I would expect• Said powder coat finish is a veritable dust magnet• The back of the unit does not appear to be sealed and the powder coat finish doesn't close the gap; however the standoffs on the floor and the included tray will likely minimize any rain intrusion moistening contents• Key insertion with a new unit can be a tad iffyTHE UGLY (faults):• I very much doubt that the box is capable of accepting a typical 3.5" high package unless it is as short as the exemplar "box of checks" in the description . With the door/baffle open to something approaching optimal clearance looks to be perhaps 2" for a long package.• The keys are unreasonably thick to the point they don't fit gracefully on my keyring, the slot isn't of sufficient diameter to allow for full rotation on a thicker split-ring keyring, and the lock retains the key when unlocked (which can be a problem with the next point)• The included mail tray won't remove without opening the receiving slot, presenting a challenge since the lock cylinder is retaining your keyring. One can drop the door with your key - and the contents of any keyring it's attached to dangling - open the receiving slot while holding the access door, or lock the door open to remove the key.Due to the issues with the key and retaining cylinder, I'm hoping that I can locate a standard high-security cylinder lock with the correct profile, height, and accepts the OEM pawl.
