Question: Is the plastic mechanism for the flag a problem?  Any suggestions on a homemade mechanism?
Document: Both ends of the shipping box are glued closed making the box difficult to open. In my case, they got so carried away with the glue, they actually glued the mailbox to the shipping box. I'm not sure if I like the plastic mechanism for the red flag. I don't know if it will hold up over the years. You can buy this mailbox at Home Depot for $17.97.
its the basic. Kind of feels cheap. The red flag is plastic and i give it 5 years before it falls off. Wish someone made a nice black mailbox made to last for 20 years.
This is well-constructed mailbox. I like the larger size to allow the mail carrier to leave small packages inside it. The flag is plastic, but that's not a major issue to me. the latch does seem a little loose, but I think that should correct with a minor bend.
Box itself is ok...not quite as thick as I had hoped...but the flag is a joke. The parts that are supposed to hold the flag in the upright position are plastic and cheap.... lasted about 4 days and already broken....the flag falls straight down and the only way to keep it up is to wedge a small stick behind it.
Nice looking mailbox that seems fairly solid. Only concern is the plastic part on the flag base that's likely to wear out much sooner than the rest of the components, especially sitting in the sun day after day (most plastics degrade quickly in UV sunlight). Would have preferred a flag with no plastic parts.
I purchased this mailbox IN APRIL 2012 because it had an aluminum flag. Our last mailbox had a plastic flag that broke off in less than a year. HOWEVER.....THIS FLAG IS AFFIXED WITH A PLASTIC PART THAT BROKE LAST WEEK! So, if you are trying to avoid failing plastic parts, this is not the mailbox for you.
The red flag is steel yet it's base housing is plastic (not like the one shown in the above photos). I doubt that will be a issue since my older, regular mailbox had an all plastic red flag and it still in fine working shape. I'll update this post with photos once installed.Photo: http://imgur.com/68WWBNh
First and foremost it should be stated that this is a double sized mailbox, but imo much better than standard sized as it can hold medium sized packages and larger envelopes.Can't ask for better metal for the price, henge is old fashioned so has to be bent to close tightly, flag has a smart lock design, though wish it was metal but is is good hard plastic.Worth the money, mail person loves the bigger size and it looks good, not gaudy, good clean design.
But, I had to adjust the latch mechanism on the door to enable it to close tighter. As I usually state, if anything changes regarding its performance, I'll submit another review.
I come home most days to find my mailbox open, full of snow, and my mail wet. The previous similar box it replaced (vandalized) did not have this problem.
Answer: yes
