ABSTRACT:
A mailbox of the type that is located outdoors and is exposed to all weather conditions has an access aperture with a door adapted to selectively open the aperture for removal of mail in the mailbox. A lock mounting arrangement is provided to permit the mailbox to be locked to prevent unauthorized removal of the mail. In addition, a mail slot sufficiently large to permit the insertion of mail but small enough to prevent access for removal of the mail is provided. A pivoted flap covers the mail slot. Appropriate shielding means, such as the top and sides of a specially shaped mailbox, protect the door, the mail slot and the lock mounting from inclement weather conditions.
