MailGuard 581M Security Mailbox, Beige
From the Manufacturer
MailGuard is an affordable security mailbox uniquely designed to eliminate the threat of stolen mail. Incoming mail slides into a locked storage area, allowing access to your delivered mail only with a key. Yet your mailman never needs a key to deliver your mail. MailGuard features a spacious opening for incoming mail; a convenient outgoing mail slot; and over 2000 cubic inches of mail storage space, enough to accommodate mail delivery for numerous days or
…The mailbox is very sturdy. We purchased this product because we have mail tampering in our neighborhood and have been paying for private mail service for business mail. We installed on 4×4 pole but 6×6 might work a tad better because the holes to attach were near the edge and we changed the location. It is a very tight fit, as previous review states the door is tight but it works very well and being this close fitting will keep out the weather. I think this mail box is a bargain compared to other security mail boxes. It is strange appearing, very industrial but we are making a wood house to fit over and decorate with older attachments so it fits in with our older house. I strongly recommend this product. At a previous location we had a locking box from supplier, it was nearly $300.00 and not nearly as user friendly. I will post review from our postal guy as well because we wanted feedback from him. Thank you Amazon for free shipping and great service. Nui
I just installed my Mailguard and it’s perfect. I only had to pay $89 bucks for it but I would have paid over $150. It’s durable, practical and reliable. I decided to replace my regular plastic mailbox when I was reading about all the mail and identity thefts happening all over the country. I wanted something to keep my mail locked. I shopped around and looked at a lot of these locking boxes. This is clearly the best one out there. It handles lots of mail and is extremely user friendly and easy to install. Plus it costs less then half of all the others. Some installation is required but its quick, easy and painless. My neighbors are now buying Mailguards as well. Good job Mailguard, a great new product I am sure most everyone will have at their curbside soon.
I installed my Mailguard in July of ‘03.
On September 26, ‘03 someone used a very small slotted screwdriver to pry the door open & bend the lock arm.
This lock arm is so soft as to be a useless deterent.
The security of this mail box is all illusion and no substance until the manufacturer uses a better lock with a hardened or stiffer acuator arm.
