Tools and Hardware Reviews of MailGuard 579M Security Mailbox, Black
Customer Review: Big,BIG box!
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this box as mail security had become an issue in our neighborhood. I was seeking something sturdy,but not too expensive.
So I ordered the Mailguard.
First impression: Boy, it's BIG!
This is a BIG box! Really, no fooling. It's the size of a toddler. At 24" by 12" by 17" it takes up a bit of room. The secure mail hopper measures 12" by 7" by 13 1/2" (measured floor to the bottom of the angled neck) and would many,many days worth of mail for just about anyone.
The recieving slot measures 10" by 2". This is large enough for boxes of checks or books to enter the box with ease.
The box I recieved varied slightly from the depicted in the picture at Amazon.com: The picture at the web site shows a built-in molded handle. My box has a "D" shaped plastic handle that's attached by screws. I prefer the handle I have as the mail slot can be opened with with the hand facing either up or down.
The box is, however, not ready for use straight out of its box.
Both the flag and lock must be attached by the purchaser.
The flag was easy to attach. It goes on easliy by means of the supplied Phillips screw.
The lock was a bit trickier; The main lock cylinder is inserted through the door and then secured to the mail access door. The lever that holds the door shut is then attached to the lock with a screw.
The assembly instructions lack illustrations and uses jargon that raises the blood pressure. Example: " ..Insert the nylon brushing,smaller diameter down,into the larger hole in the flag...." Eh??
Mail is removed by unlocking the lower door and opening the door by pulling on the key. This might be difficult for someone with limited grasp or painful hands.
I had a couple of quibbles with the box:
1) The supplied locking arm is flat and needs to be bent slightly for it to work. The instuructions make no mention of this.
2) The lower door of my box was TIGHT. So tight that after I closed it the first time I thought it was stuck for good. I shaved a small amount of plastic off the top of the door to make its operation easier.
Despite the small initial problems,I'm very happy with this box. It's very sturdy and its odd design keeps my mail secure from wanna-be thieves.

What's in the Box
Mailbox, key
What more can you ask for? MailGuard's security mailbox can't be vandalized, crushed, dented, scraped, scratched, or smashed, and that's not even its best feature. It also holds a ton of mail securely and can only be accessed with your key, though the letter carrier doesn't need one to deliver your mail. It's an ingenious design that offers some 2,000 cubic inches of storage, so when you're away for two weeks, your neighbor won't have to trot over to pick up your mail, and would-be burglars can't tell what's in it. Because it's made of a super-strong polyethylene plastic, you'll never have to paint it, sand it, rustproof it, or repair it. You can mount this beauty on a post or wall--hardware is included for each. With this box out front, you won't have to worry about mail security again. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
