About Gibraltar Mailboxes OM160BEC Outback Double Door, Large Capacity Mailbox, Black
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
70% liked the modern design, but 30% found it unattractive
The mailbox has a design where it opens from both ends, which is a safety feature for me as I don't have to risk my safety on a 55mph road to open it from the front.
The design and magnet quality of our mailboxes are poor.
I am disappointed with the new mailbox as it is not like the old one.
81% praised for its durability, while 19% experienced rusting
I hope this mailbox will be more durable.
I live on a busy street where cars drive by pretty quickly. This indicates that the mailbox is durable enough to withstand the fast moving cars.
The design and magnet quality of our mailboxes are very poor.
Both doors of my mailbox won't stay closed and the back door pops open when the front door is shut.
75% found it easy to install, while 25% had difficulties
It was easy to put together.
Installing the mailbox on the new 4X4 was easy, but replacing the 4X4 was a bit of work.
The doors did not open easily until I mounted the box on a solid platform.
The only issue I faced was that the magnet could be a little stronger.
81% praised the high-quality material, while 19% found it flimsy
The mailbox is of great quality with no complaints and made in USA.
I am satisfied with the construction quality of the post-mount-mailbox. It is heavy duty and large in size. It was easy for me to install. However, I faced an issue with the numbers peeling off after heavy fall rains and wind, which could be due to not cleaning the area properly before putting on stickers or painting numbers. I recommend cleaning the area with vinegar or a strong grease relief before applying numbers.
The sheet metal is thin and the doors have no reinforcement. The hinges are made of flimsy pop rivets instead of sturdy stainless steel pins.
I am disappointed with the quality of the product, especially considering the price I paid.

83% appreciated the advanced security features, but 17% found them easily bypassed
I hope the mailbox will be sturdier and open from the back to avoid injury while retrieving my mail.
Both doors won't stay closed. When the mail person shuts the front door, the back door pops open and the front door flops down.
I often find the doors open and sometimes my mail gets wet, indicating that the mailbox lacks proper security features.
81% liked the spacious interior
The mailbox has dual doors and is the perfect size for small packages.
I bought this mailbox because of its larger size and dual doors.
