Troubleshooting
Mailbox door is difficult to open or close.
Check for any obstructions within the door mechanism. Ensure the mailbox is securely mounted and not warped. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the hinges and lock if necessary.
Keys are not turning in the lock.
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Try cleaning any debris from the keyhole. If the issue persists, the lock may be damaged and require replacement.
Water is getting inside the mailbox.
Inspect the door seal and the overall construction for any gaps or damage. Ensure the mailbox is mounted with a slight downward angle to promote water runoff. Check that the door is closing flush.
