That and, if I read your post right, you added this inside the door 
itself?

Making the door heavier and increasing the likelihood the mailman won't
close it fully.  Hopefully you can order a replacement door when that
happens.



It may also be that the mailman can refuse to deliver mail to a mailbox
modified in such a way.  IIRC, there are some pretty specific rules about
sizes, shapes and contents of mailboxes.  From their point of view the
mailman has a reasonable concern that you haven't wired something lethal to
the box.


We don't want any disgruntled Postal employees... not 'round here!!

I will be meeting with the supervisor of my local post office around noon Tuesday to discuss the mailbox.

Of the 6 homes in my cul 'de sac, mine has the only mailbox not anchored. It sits atop a pier-block. So I want to mount the new one in cement.

The thing IS... this is a B-I-G @$$ mailbox!! Really deep... And my sidewalk goes right up to the curb, plus it's only maybe 30" wide.

The box is like 24" leaving... Lets see... carry the 9... Umm... 6-inches to walk past.

Hmmm... Not gonna do it...

Maybe I can put it in the dirt, past the sidewalk? Why don't I ask the USPS...?
