Tools and Hardware Reviews of MailGuard 580M Security Mailbox, Green
Customer Review: Design Problems
Summary: 3 Stars
This locking mailbox will serve as intended, as a deterrent for casual passers-by rather than a determined thief. However there are some design problems. As another reviewer noted, the holes drilled in the back to attach to a post are too close to the edge for a standard 4 x 4 post, because they are just 3" apart and a standard 4 x 4 is actually only 3-1/2" wide. This leaves the screws less than 1/4 inch on each side. If you drill new holes, as I did, use neoprene washers (like those on roofing screws) on the inside to deter water leakage. You also have to fill the pre-drilled holes with caulking and tape on the outside back to prevent leakage from those holes. The manufacturer suggests cutting the top of the post at an angle so that when water runs off the slanted roof of the mailbox it will run on down the top of the post. However the back of the mailbox is not rigidly straight and the screws are down at the center, so at the top the mailbox does not lie flush with the post. This creates a slot between the post and the top of the box where water will run down. I drilled two more holes near the top of the post (couldn't get to the very top because I had sloped the top as mfgr. suggested) and using 4" bolts I could draw the box closer to the post but not close enough. Finally I filled the gap between the post and the box with caulking to prevent water leakage. That's a lot of bother and trouble that took a lot of time and if a different box has a rigid back it would be a better deal.
