Hi Virginia, I am afraid you have to drill two 1/4 " holes as It calls for in the instructions.Regards,Guenter

When you receive your visual signal it will be easy to figure out ,it is very simple

since this apparatus has to be mounted on mailbox with metal handle and mine is plastic,I haven't been able to use it. Product description did not include this important information. If I can't find metal handle then I return it or chalk it up to another bum purchase.

I don't have the door mounting kit - but if you want the door to be attached to the slider, not the cabinet, so you would use your door pull to pull the sliding mechanism out that's what it's for. Again I don't have that, so my door simply opens to the left side then the handle on the slider is what we use.

You really just push the little handle by the compartment and pull on it. I assume you don't have long nails, because that would be the only way to pull it.

Simple screw (not included with mine). All you do is screw through the holes already in post where the old handle was. It's super easy to do.

It appears like the lock you see on a truck toolbox. Not the highest security but it isn't something you could open with a screwdriver I don't think. It is much better than not having any lock on your mailbox.

Boyfriend installed at his aunt's house with a drill for a hard plastic mailbox. Really depends on type of mailbox. A wood one may only require a screwdriver.

For the mailbox I received, I will parrot a previous poster in regards to your question Stacy, "it has a metal finger pull, no latch like the old boxes, door is fit just a bit big enough to grip the box to secure and seal."

You cannot access the mail from the front. There is a keyed entry on the rear of the box that swings open to the right. I am very happy with this mailbox. Looks great and keeps our mail secure.

If you have an electric drill, you could adapt it. I had to make some adjustments on my mail box, but once installed, it works fine. Saves me a lot of useless trips to the mailbox.

The door to retrieve your mail is in the back. I would recommend a post. You would have to side mount which doesn't seem practical.

the hardware consist of four 1 1/4" stainless steel screws with washers and two 2" stainless steel lag bolts with washers that can be purchased at any hardware store. good luck with your mailbox.

The back of the box has a 4" x 12" molded flat piece that juts out about 1/2" from the box. This flat piece could be taped to a flat surface. Also this 4 x 12 flat piece has two holes toward the top where you could insert a zip strip and maybe hang the box on a door handle.

You will need a standard Velcro style grab handle for the front. Something like 13305.04 or 13305.04.Thank you!

You do not. I believe the door mounting kit would "automatically" pull the bins out when you open the door. Without it, just pull on the handle. It's a very nice product!

Drill into the front of the door. No bracket....attaches directly to door. So much easier than the previous one which required back of the door holes, measuring and a lot of hope

My answer is that it is a left-opening handle. However the more important answer is this particular model allows you to make it either a right or left handle depending on which side of the door you are going to install it. It is quite simple and is explained in the owner's pamphlet included with the product. There is a pin-hole in the handle on the side of the lever. Use a small paper-clip and insert into the hole. This releases the locking mechanism that holds the lever handle to the plate. Then the lever handle can be pulled straight out. Then you can re-assemble the handle to the orientation you want, right or left. Good luck! Paul My answer is that it is a left-opening handle.

All I did was hook it inside a standard door frame. There is nothing that requires tools and you can switch to any door. Super easy. Im sure there are videos on you tube on how to install. It's really just a slide into place and nothing more
