Where is the lock located on this mail box?

The top lifts up to reveal the mail slot (towards the back of the box) and the lock (right in front of the slot). The box can be used either locked or unlocked. We've had ours for a year now, and it still works great and looks beautiful.

The inner door underneath the outer door has a lock similar to the ones for filing cabinets.

There is two flaps on the top. The lock is under the top flap (cover) on the second flap that has a slot to allow the mail to be delivered but no one can get to it.

I think the lock is on the bottom. It isn't like a separate lock, you put the key in the built in metal key hole and, turn it. Sort of like a swivel you might see on a jewelry case at a store. The entire unit is freestanding. The "upright" panel slides off so, you can replace what ever you put in it. It is great but, I like to put a little "Seed" money in it but, the ballot box tint is too dark to be able to see it. My suggestion is to put 50 to 100 bucks in the box with the majority being 5's. Seems like most people look and decide to put the average of what they see. Of course, this great box is so tinted that you really can't tell. I think the lock is on the bottom.

The revolving door is the only part of the piece that locks. The lock is located on the right side of the cabinet. Thanks

Not that I am aware of , I own the mailboxes , the post office has a key to the back. Often is call the mail person to open the back so that I can take the nut off the lock to open the mailbox door to replace the lock. If not, I have to drill out the lock and the steel is hard.

Yes, it opens in front without a key, but, mail can only go in, can't be retrieved from the front. I told my mailman that I simply close the side door, without locking it (but strangers cant tell it's not locked) if he needs the larger opening for packages. Nice box IMHO.

hi - I don't use a lock - this was bought as a storage for toys, so unfortunately I cannot answer your question. The box is awesome quality

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

The mail box is bolted to a 4x4 piece of lumber which you can cement into the ground. It's not fool proof. It's made of plastic, so a sledge hammer could break it. Also, if there's a lot of mail (a couple of weeks worth) in it, someone can reach in get some of the mail. If you live in the city or suburb, this will probably work for you though. Mail thieves will just go to the next easier box. If you live in a rural area, It might not work as well. A PO box is the only way you can guarantee your mail not being stolen.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and didn't check out the details. Don't know if it has a spot for a lock on it.

There is a hole in the base that is made for a long screw to bolt it to the post that goes into the ground. (We did not bother to secure it, but I can't imagine someone stealing such a large mailbox.)

My mailbox came with a key but I never lock it. I don't even know where the key is. If you don't need the key I would write to the seller to see if you could get a refund for that portion. Hope this helps.

I had to walk out and check. It would not be easy. If you are going to lock a mailbox, you may as well spend the money and get a steal housing. Otherwise the lock will only keep out the honest people. Anything plastic will fall pray to a baseball bat, in which case, the lock is meaningless.

When the Mailman puts in the mail, it goes down to the lower level where is is only accessible by the lock.Only small or slim packages can be put in. The opening is similar to a USPS mail box.

It has a loop on both top covers for a lock. Once locked, you can not open the box.

There is no where on the box where a lock can secure the door to the frame.
