Need Something Lighter, But Still Secure?

This mailbox has AMAZING security features, without the extreme weight of our other mailboxes. Made of 1/8” thick steel (11 gauge), it has all the same security features as our heavier mailboxes but only weighs 38 pounds.  Yes, we said only 38 pounds! It’s built thicker than all other locking mailboxes on the market.  With the all-important Fort Knox recessed doors to prevent prying, this “light” mailbox does the job the others can’t!  It has a 1” continuous welded steel hinge that is 4 times thicker than other “heavy duty” locking mailboxes. The M1-LT holds approximately 1-1.5 weeks of mail.  Just like the M1 Abrams tank was designed for war, so is the M1-LT Mailbox!

Are You on a Budget?

We understand that. This is WHY the M1-LT Mailbox was added to our collection. If you are tired of replacing standard hardware store locking mailboxes, and are ready for Ft Knox security, then the M1-LT can be a great fit! It’s our “entry-level” mailbox, but there’s nothing “average” or “basic” about the M1-LT! We’ve been selling this mailbox for approximately 10 years now, with FANTASTIC results.

More Information On the M1-LT Mailbox and How It Works

The mail carrier inserts your incoming mail into the open slot at the top (10” W x 1.75”H). It drops down into the locked compartment. This compartment is always locked, and you’ll be the only one with a key! Your mail will be waiting inside until you’re ready to get it out. No stressing or worrying about getting there quickly!

The M1-LT is pre-drilled on the bottom. 4 holes, 4 5/8” apart, and designed to fit our LT Posts. However, it can also easily be installed on many surfaces: wood, metal, masonry, etc.

The M1-LT has our amazing, thick powder-coating finish to combat all the elements.

This is a “Limited Service” Mailbox and set up for incoming mail only. If you need outgoing mail, it is an addable option, but outgoing mail cannot be locked. When added, the outgoing mail option exposes the mail for the postal carrier to take. It allows for about 1-4 envelopes at a time. Contact us with questions or view our FAQ page.

Outgoing mail rests below the incoming slot (with an optional outgoing mail capability). Although there is no door concealing the outgoing mail like some of our other models, outgoing mail is still available. You will need to leave your outgoing mail sticking out about an inch for the mail carrier to grab (see our cutaway view for an explanation of how this works).

The body of the mailbox has an overhang that protects it from vandalism and rain. The door is held closed with an included 7 pin tubular pick-proof lock (upgradable) and incoming mail will rest behind this locked door after the mail carrier drops it in the slot.
