Gibraltar LPMSKOB01 Solar Parkview Heavy Duty Locking Mailbox Review

Gibraltar LPMSKOB01 Solar Parkview Heavy Duty Locking Mailbox
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We needed a locked mailbox due to theft in the area and searched and searched for one. This is the largest we could find. We love it, BUT there are some issues. Where mail is entered in is not big enough for boxes and if the mailcarrier does not push the mail all the way in, then the mail still hangs up in the delivery slot. We did not order the pole that comes with it, but used the one we had. My husband had to drill new holes, but we got it on there, but had to add some metal to the rear to adhere it to the pole since the box itself is big and and bulky. Other than those two things, we love the security and peace of mind it gives. Mail will also stay dry.

Architectural Mailboxes 4 X 4 Wood Post Adapter Review

Architectural Mailboxes 4 X 4 Wood Post Adapter

The installation mount for 4X4 posts should be reinforced a bit. The base part that attaches to the mailbox is really easy to work with and sturdy, but the anchors that mount it to the 4X4 post are too short (they extend only about two inches down the post) and use only 1 inch screws. In our rural area that would make knocking the mailbox off of the post quite easy, especially because it is quite heavy.
I was able to reinforce the mount with 12 inch and 16 inch galvanized steel straps (one on each side of the post--alternating lengths--available for a small cost at the local hardware store). I drilled through the anchor plating to match the strapping and used a 2 inch X 1/4 inch diameter lag screw with washer at slightly different heights and horozontal positions to drive through the overlapping anchor plate and the top of the strap to really secure the whole mounting plate (all holes pre-drilled). The Mailbox is added after the plate is secured so that modification can be done in your shop. Then I anchored the strapping lower down the post at different levels on each side with the same lag screws/washers. Just to be sure I added two inch galvanized deck screws to the part of the base plate that was not covered by the extra strap and at several places along the strap as well. I considered drilling a hole in the bottom of the mailbox centered over the post and drilling a hole down the center of the post for a much longer lag screw (9-12 inches) or a similar diameter spike (I have a 16 inch long 3/8 inch drill bit). I decided against that for now because our community may be changing the location of the mailboxes and providing a mounting platform which would make the mounting plate unnecessary. If the strapping proves to be insufficient to prevent vandalism, I may add that at a later date.
