Architectural Mailboxes Franklin Post Mount Mailbox, Black with Silver Accents, FM110BEC

This is well-made and is a standard size that should make it an easy installation as a replacement box. The paint job is even and attractive. The magnet works fine to hold the door shut. There is enough flat space on the door to apply large numerals. The flag mechanism works fine.

Classy inexpensive mailbox. Large size for small parcels.

This is a nice replacement for my really old standard mailbox. I like the magnetic catch for the door closure. It seems to be made of steel just as thick as my last mailbox that lasted at least 40 years. The flag is held on with a plastic mount. We will see how long that lasts. At least there are replacement flags if it ever breaks. All in all this is a nice mailbox and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for one.

Nice looking and good value. Everything else is good except for the magnet is on the weaker side and sometimes it may leave the door open if not closed very tightly.

I am the service adviser for a garage. I'm also the keeper of keys and grounds, customer service, the manager, tech support, and occasionally a technician/grease monkey. Basically, everything that happens here flows through me at least once, often multiple times. I love my job(s). The last year has been absolutely fantastic, truly. Also, it is a near-constant amusement to me, the things that I have to research and learn about in order to keep this business running. Today, for example, I found myself trying to figure out what mailbox I purchased. You see, our previous mailbox was no spring chicken to begin with, and it's stationary (yet colorful) life was finally ended by a hit-and-run driver. We shall remember it fondly. The devastation was... breathtaking. Perhaps, almost beautiful. Now, admittedly, setting off on a quest to find the perfect replacement mailbox was not high on my priority list. After a brief consideration of my options, I opened Amazon and simply picked one that was inexpensive, black, and vaguely tough-looking. After a few days wait, and after seeing a USPS worker almost die laughing at the ironic realization that the post office wouldn't deliver my mailbox to me because I had turned my mail off because I didn't have a mailbox, our new mailbox arrived. And as far as being inexpensive, black, and vaguely tough-looking goes, it -excelled-. There is really no other word for it. In fact, it really was excellent in those regards. So we pounded a post into the ground, and bolted the box to the post, and life (and the mail) returned to normal. One fateful day, I went out to fulfill my shiny new mailbox's sole purpose in life, and noticed scuff marks. The poor little guy had been clipped. Two or three days later, more scuff marks and a broken handle: clipped again. I was morbidly, all-consumingly, entirely and irrefutably mildly disinterested in the idea of reordering a mailbox, and therein entered my amusement: besides scuff marks, all I needed was a handle, and for that, all I needed was to know what I actually bought. And so, that's how I developed the need to learn about mailboxes. A quick check of the backside gave me a name (Gibraltar), and a quick Google led me to a website. A brief run through their product list led me to a model, and a snappy foray into their parts catalog led me to a dead-end. I am currently awaiting a replay from their help desk. Having survived two near-death experiences already in such a young life, I have decided that our worthy new friend deserves a title. After much deliberation, including though-provoking discussions and some deep, deep soul searching about "roses by any other name," I have creatively chosen to call it "Franklin." As I look out the window at the business next door, I see a rusted mailbox, obviously old, that is either taped or strapped to a crooked pole in an extraordinarily, almost mindbogglingly lopsided manner. And in so doing, I believe I see the future of our much beloved Franklin. My hopes are high. And I really do believe Franklin's resolve is sound. You know, I went into this without much in the way of expectations. But I think I can safely vouch for the durability, the tenacity, the steadfastness, and the (insert adjective for "tough" here) of our dear Franklin. Cheers to you, Gibraltar. Keep up the great work. And cheers to you, Franklin. Many happy returns.

I bought the mailbox and post together. Already, survived neighbor backing into it. Didn't faze it. The workmen set it in concrete, slid a fence post into sleeve as your supposed to. Post and mailbox are heavy duty, weather resistant, powdercoated metal. The mailbox opens easily, is large, and looks terrific, as does the post. It was easy to add decorative embellishments too.

This product came in sturdy packaging. Easy to install. It has survived the worst winter I've experienced, ever! Has survived high winds, extreme cold. Door stays closed. Love the modern but simple design. Great size, but it is on the smaller end. So, probably not the right size if you're needing something to accommodate larger packages.

it looks nice on the post. Nice to have a roomie mailbox.

Works great and love the magnetic close. Would buy again.

sin comentario, cumplieron entiempo y forma

Ursprünglich hatte ich die US Mailbox von Burg Wächter gekauft und zurückgeschickt. Die Materialqualität war sehr enttäuschend. Einfach billig produziert. Diese hier hat mich auch überrascht aber im positiven Sinne ! 1 schon die Verpackung machte mir einen sehr guten Eindruck. Sie schützt das Produkt perfekt. 2 Die Materialqualität und die materialstärke übertreffen sogar meine Erwartungen. 3 die Tür mit einem schönen Griff wird mit einem Magnet geschlossen gehalten. Es funktioniert sehr gut. Auch der Preis stimmt. Ich habe es heute erhalten und sofort montiert daher kann ich noch nicht über eine langzeiterfahrung sprechen aber der Ersteindruck ist so gut dass ich nicht enttäuscht sein werde.

Excelente material y buen terminado

Belle boites aux lettres robuste, belle finition et bonne capacité. Je recommande
