I made my own with thick plywood on hinge and cam lock. Mine is a jumbo sized mailbox. 24"×11"×14". Its built inside the box so its not an eye sore. It costed me about 5 dollars. I leave it open when im expecting Amazon delivery.

I have one of these and the thieves just forced it open with a crowbar or some other leverage mechanism because the metal isn't strong enough to prevent it from getting bent. It still locks but now it's much easier for thieves to force it open because it is compromised.

My pleasure! I have been helped so many times by little videos like this, so I just try to pay it forward!

Thanks for sharing, been looking at one of these... I'd think the nut should be on the inside of the box though... Thanks for posting!!

I would put the screw head on the out side and fill the slot with epoxy.

Sorry I’m a girl how does it work? The mailman opens it and it’s unlocked but when he closes it it locks for me or how does it work?

It’s not gender specific ha ha. The way the box works is it has an opening just wide enough to put letters and thick envelopes through. But it’s not wide enough to get a hand through and grab the mail. To grab the mail you need to open the door with a key. Thicker packages that won’t fit can be put right on top of the insert. Quite simple and effective

Lol what a ridiculous item. All you have to do on your old mailbox is cut a small sleeve hole enough for mail to go in then drill two holes on the edges of the lid and main box to use a pad lock. Or u can cut in the back then mount the box backward for cleaner look. It’s for paper letters not locking up guns. If they want your mails then they will get it by all means

How arrogant! 🙄 Your alternatives are what’s ridiculous! It would not only be a eyesore in your neighborhood but nothing larger than a “paper letter” could be placed through the “small sleeve hole” you cut! Don’t even get me started on your bassackwards idea either… 😏😒🙄

@@barbiekat6352 TDub is right locking mailbox inserts are ridiculous. Only good for letter sized mail. Read my comment. I made my own for about 5 dollars. The locking system is inside the box so I have no eye sore.

You need to spend more time explaining how the insert works, next how to install it. I don't the application.
