Questions & Answers

In the picture you can see that the box has four holes, which are all plugged up. What other mounting options do you have to offset it from the ?

My experience has taught me that you may need to use the other set of holes if you need the box to extend further out from the post. Since I was mounting it from behind the plate, I had to ensure the box extended enough for the delivery person to place the paper in the box since I was mounting it to a mail box mount.

Can you tell me where the holes are?

There were no holes to match the holes in the platform or the mail box, so I drilled new holes, which was easy.

In what dimensions does the mounting bracket come?

About 5 inches of the bracket comes with the box. The bracket is 4 1/2 inches wide. In the drop part, there is a length of 4 1/2 inches. In addition, I believe that the piece that connects to the post is also about 4 1/2 inches The bracket on this paper box makes it so low that I do not recommend it. The paper box is only about 25 inches above the ground for my mail box. run into papers that were left on the ground or on top of the mail box, and I had trouble taking the paper out because the box was too low when I drove up to it.

Do you have only one opening in the front of the newspaper box? Is the back of the box closed?

There is no back end open at the moment. Heavy gauge metal is used to construct the box, making it extremely durable.

This product has stood the test of time
5/5

Our mailbox was destroyed by a snow plow as we shared it with our neighbor, so we relocated it and installed these "Mail Boss 7114 Newspaper Holders. ". Although we hadn't thought of writing a review at the time, the fact that they're still in excellent condition after two years made us feel compelled to add a positive review. The bags are heavy, sturdy, and well-designed. I made it. I am pleased with the results for our family. Our mailboxes are covered in snow during winter and we have summer temperatures of up to 105 F during summer A degree is. There are twenty-one (See attached photos) I have been active for nine (29) months now. It is highly unlikely that the system will ever need replacing. It would be my pleasure Please note *br*br*- We would appreciate it if you would please click the HELPFUL button below if you found this review helpful. I appreciate your kind words and wish you the best!.

I am overextended Installed mounting bolts with a stronger torque
4/5

In order to attach it to the post, I had to drill new holes in the concrete post. I think the final result came out very well. Due to an overabundance of work, I I replaced the rubber washers with faucet washers after tightening the mounting bolts to cause the rubber washers to split. I live in an area where it rains heavily, but I do not have leaks so far While it is raining, water does drip/collect along the top edge, so it's a good idea to be careful when taking the paper out of the box. worried that my newspaper carrier would not deliver my paper because they use an orange color reflector to identify their subscribers, so I bought a pair of red stick-on reflectors in case that was what they used. This is a reflector on an auto. A pair of their reflectors was attached to my box, much to my surprise.

This is a quality product
5/5

It's built to last! This product is made from heavy gauge metal and is I didn't expect anything like this. The 4" x 4' size helps protect my paper from rain because it is 4' x 4' longer than my neighborhood paper. Here's a suggestion It should be installed at an angle of downward In this way, moisture will be able to drain out of the front of the paper instead of running under it. In order to make it lean slightly forward, I placed 2 washers under the back two holes of the bracket.

There is too much height in the box because of this bracket
3/5

By Mail Boss, the box fit perfectly on the post. There is however, a delay in the mail box, as the box is 29 inches below the slot for the Mail Boss mail box, and only 15 inches off the ground. It is a high box that is difficult for the paper carrier (in a car) to reach, and it is also difficult for us to reach the paper when we come back home in the car. This is not something I would recommend. I was offered a refund by the producer, but since I purchased it from Amazon rather than directly from the producer, and I cannot return it in new condition, I think I have no options. Considering that the actual box itself is fine, but the bracket is a bit uncomfortable, I'm thinking about having one custom made. In the image, you can see how frequently I receive.

This is a great secure mail system
5/5

Purchasing the whole set of Package Mailbox, Paper Box and Post is a great choice. They look great and are made extremely well. Compare all secure mailboxes that also handle small packages that I was able to find. The one I found had a pretty good look and was considerably less expensive, but when I examined its construction it became apparent that all it would take is a large screwdriver to compromise its integrity. An easy to pry open locking door made this a very flimsy product. There is a reinforced door on the Mail Boss and it is more heavily built. It's madness all the way. So far, my only problem is that the mailbox isn't being put in correctly by the mailman. On each side of the threshold of the "in" door, instructions are posted. He's apparently in too much of a hurry to pay attention to the door tray as it says "packages in the slot and envelopes in the door tray". My goal is to correct that issue as soon as I catch him.

The look is solid and elegant, but unique at the same time
4/5

It's too common for newspaper holders to be made from cheap plastic or to be built into ugly plastic frames/holders. A single email has been posted. One of the best out there. It's solid and well made. Having it in your hands is pleasant. The area is large enough for the Sunday New York Times to fit in it. The problem is that there is no standard hole pattern that will permit users to quickly and easily connect this new box with an existing Gibraltar mailbox and post. spoke with both firms. 1) The mounting plate would need to be drilled with additional holes in order to use both products. A home repairer with a few skills might not want to take on this given the heavy gauge of the plate.

Mounting is questionable, but quality is top notch
5/5

I am sure that this is an excellent purchase, excellent The bracket is an easy to use item. There is only one issue with everything on the whole thing, which is that the pattern for the bolts doesn't match the mail box or This means you will most likely have to retrofit your mounting unless you are side-mounting to a post.

This addition to the mailbox looks odd and does not match its functionality
3/5

My photos will be updated soon, but this just seems like an While they have several different mailboxes, this does not work as well with the Mailboss XL There are just a few things you have to see - There's something ugly about this pair, and it's also dysfunctional.
