The top door of the letter locker mailbox covers both the incoming mail chute, and the outgoing mail tray. This configuration provides the mail carrier with one or two less significant arm movements in servicing the mailbox. The door, chute and tray are weather protected by a solid, two inch weather shield. The top door is secured by a full length one inch magnetic strip. The bottom mail receiving and storage compartment is secured by a locking door, secured at the top center by a mail handling utility lock. The door is protected from theft by prying, by the weather security shield above, and weather security shields on both sides. The bottom door stainless steel rod hinge is permanent, secured in the assembly at the time of manufacturing, and cannot be pried. The construction and design of the entire mailbox is a unique, superior improvement. The entire compartment of the mailbox is constructed of Electro-galvanzied steel, 4 to 6 gauges heavier than comparable mailboxes. The doors of the mailbox are constructed of Electro-galvanzied steel, 6 gauges heavier than comparable mailboxes. The top and sides shell of the mailbox is one piece, 16 gauge steel, and solid protection against theft, vandalism and weather. The top door handle and hinge are stainless steel, heavier and superior to comparable mailboxes. The entire finish is powder coated, which is far superior to comparable mailboxes. Each major part is powder coated separately for maximum protection and durability. The pedestal post is constructed and powder coated for superior strength and protection. The prefabricated anchor is included, and unique to the letter locker mailbox assembly. The overall design and appearance is unique and superior to all other comparable mailboxes. Convenience for the mail carrier and owner, security for the mail, protection against vandalism, and a durable lifetime mailbox is the ideal we all hope for. Our mail is one of the most important things in our lives. The letter locker mailbox invention is the answer to that hope.
