Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gibraltar WM16KB01 SolarWyngate Large Locking Mailbox
Customer Review: Good concept, junky implementation
Summary: 1 Stars
The box is built like a tank. It is QUITE heavy.
Gibraltar makes a steel post for mailboxes that I had the impression from the post's packaging was paired with this box, and it is WAY too wimpy for the weight and sags like crazy - $40 wasted. You WILL NEED a well set wooden mailbox post or it WILL sag.
Two build issues that I find unforgivable:
1) The key lock they supply with the box uses a VERY non standard key blank, so you can't get replacement keys made at most places like hardware stores. I had to purchase and install a different lock that I bought at an Ace Hardware ($9) so I could get a lock that uses standard (Y11) key blanks.
2) THE HOLDER FOR OUTGOING MAIL IS CRAP. UNFORGIVABLY BAD DESIGN!!! Because the box interior locks they provide a means to hold outgoing mail. They do so with a spring steel clip that you mount to the inside surface of the mailbox door using a preapplied piece of sticky foam. It comes RIGHT off with only moderate pressure applied when you have more than 1 or 2 letters to go out. This holder SHOULD be permanently attached (welded, preferably) to the door but they used the cheap approach. So we jury rigged a bag clip to hold the mail.
I will not buy another Gibraltar product. This product's design is very poor. Do not buy.
