Can a lock be added on these mailboxes ?

I am not sure where you want to put the lock on the mailbox. The front door is opened to put the mail inside. the back door is opened so that you can take the mail out without having to stand in the street. Do you mean to put a lock on the post so that no one can steal the box?

I purchased this mailbox because I had some mail stolen. I keep my box locked. However if you don't have a problem with mail thief you can leave it unlocked. The door is fairly snug and will stay closed.

There is no locking ability to the one we purchased. You would have to do some sort of fabrication to the door with a hasp and padlock. The box material is fiberglass.

They can't. I have to find a mailbox, but having the security is worth the inconvenience.

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.

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.

There is no lock. They attach using a tension mechanism tightened with a hex screw (driver included in the box). Very sturdy once in place, they are not going anywhere once you have them tightened down.

The mailbox does lock. You can see the locking mechanism once you open the top of the mailbox. It's a plate that lays over the opening - and the key allows you to lift it up to access the full mailbox. The locking feature is great - I did not think I would like it, but I do. You also have the option to remove the locking feature, which is nice. I've kept mine because it's easy to use - and I like the fact that my mail is more secure.

Yes you can. But the locking hole is not very large, so a small lock is needed.

To secure the lockbox if you leaving it and yes it can be attached to something this way the lockbox can't be removed

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.

Hi, no, there isn't a way to lock this deck box. The only option would be by drilling and adding a locking mechanism yourself.

Mine does not have the lock, but the top is big enough to open and get the mail out.

I believe you can lock them, but not password protect them. Once locked I do not think you can unlock

There is no lock, but the door and the box itself are made with heavy enough material that installing a lock would be fairly simple and secure.

Yes, you can do that. As a matter of fact, you have to do that in order to lock it.

No...in deference to the previous posters. The box does not have the convenient eyeholes so that you can loop a simple combination lock thru them and be done. It is, however configured for a locking bar of some type. The eyeholes run thru the individual latches to accomodate this.
