Gibraltar Mailboxes Tuff Body Large Capacity Galvanized Steel Black, Post-Mount Mailbox, TB1B0000

Best Box Ive ever seen - Check the weight if you don't believe me !

If you're looking for a mail box that will last, this is the one. It was literally hit by a snowplow over 10 times and survived. I did need to bend it back a little to allow the door to open, but it can take a hit. On that note it's heavier than a normal mailbox.

Perfect!

Great mailbox and very durable. My neighbor backed over it and you barely tell she took it down! There's just a little paint scrapped off where it hit the pavement

I installed one of these Gibraltar heavy duty steel boxes about 5 years ago to thwart vandalism and have been satisfied. But the hinge rusted rusted out recently, and after looking at prices and reviews of other sturdy boxes, I decided to buy the same Gibraltar box again. I have a vertical 4x4 post for mounting, so I also got the Architectural Mailboxes 7540B-10 Mailbox Adapter Plate, which attaches to the bottom of this box with four thick bolts. The mounting holes in the box were slightly small for the adapter plate's bolts, so I enlarged them slightly. There were no directions for attaching the metal flag and its "stop" with the included screws, nuts, and washers. But in order, from the outside inwards, the top screw for the flag first holds a thin plastic washer, the metal flag, a thick plastic washer (fatter side in), (mailbox wall), metal washer, locknut. On the lower screw for the "stop": the skinny tubular washer, (mailbox wall), metal washer, then locknut. I assume this box will eventually also rust out, since it's steel and exposed to the elements. The door hinge seems to be the most vulnerable part, but this time I will try to fix any rusty spots before they do much damage. Despite this disadvantage of a steel box, it's worth it to have a box that's hard to vandalize.

This is a solid built mailbox. It's not indestructible, but much better than most you can buy.

Great mail box and woks great with yellow flag to show mail is here

This mailbox is very, very strong and has kept its glossy finish for over 7 years. No rust, no damage.
