Curbside mailboxes need to be able to take a lot. Besides withstanding the elements, they need to be able to withstand vandalism and theft attempts like prying. All Mail Boss mailboxes include a patented, anti-pry latch that make them extremely hard to pry open.
How our lock keeps mail secure
The lock cam is made of a hardened chrome-alloy steel. When the lock is engaged, it hooks on to a stainless steel pin that is welded to the inside of the mailbox through two pieces of 14-gauge steel. Reinforcing that two-point contact is a 14-gauge steel anti-pry bar that is welded to the inside of the mailbox door. When a screwdriver or other tool is used to pry open the door, the anti-pry bar reinforces the cam.
Those three points work together to prevent the cam from bending or breaking, which is usually what happens when locking mailboxes are pried open. In order to get into the Mail Boss mailboxes via prying, the actual door of the mailbox would need to be substantially bent enough to allow someone to reach inside. This is made difficult by the patented anti-pry system, as the anti-pry bar actually makes the door stronger and more resistant to folding.
Great: Mail Manager
the Mail Manager is made of 14- and 16-gauge galvanized steel. Despite its lighter frame, this makes it extremely durable against damage and attempted theft. Our video demonstrates how the Mail Manager withstands prying attempts.
Best: Mail Boss & Package Master
The Mail Boss and Package Master are made of 12- and 14-gauge galvanized steel, which makes them even more secure against accidental damage, intentional vandalism, and theft attempts like prying. Like the Mail Manager, both the Mail Boss and the Package Master feature sturdy, electro-galvanized steel bodies, and our patented, anti-pry locking door system, and anti-phishing technology.
Despite the small differences between our models, all our locking mailboxes are extremely pry resistant, surpassing the security found in other locking mailboxes.
