Does this mailbox lock? I did my search for locking mailbox and this one came up (but I don't see anywhere in the description that it locks)

Yes it can lock. You also have the option of removing the internal locking mechanism.

Yes. This mailbox locks. It has a flap top with a key under the top that you see. You can choose to lock it or not. I only lock mine if I go out of town. This mailbox is big and holds small packages as well.

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by a locking insert Jennifer, but it's a standard size mailbox. If the insert will fit a standard size mailbox, it will fit this one as well. Hope this helps. Eddie Carrara http://eddiecarrara.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Stop-Mailbox-Vandalism

No it doesn't lock automatically. Gotta have a key to lock and unlock. But it's the only lock that I know of that is lockable (& unlockable) from both sides...

No. you cannot remove mail when top is locked. you must unlock, lift top. then remove mail. if u only have a magazine and letters, the mailbox is wide enough. any news paper ads r folded in half.

Look and see if there is a number on the lock. If there is, call the manufacturer and give them the number. Maybe they can send you a replacement set. Make a spare and keep it in a safe place, just in case. Otherwise you may need a locksmith. Kind of pricey, but not as pricey as a new mailbox.

There is no locking mechanism. You slide it under the door when it's shut. If someone opens the door its pushes down on the flap and the alarm sounds.

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 only way to get your mail out of this mailbox is through the rear. It has a key lock which we like because it keeps our mail from being stolen.

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.

It is not supposed to lock. It will go up and down on its own..Its a great machine, enjoy it!!

It does not lock into position and is only balanced by the weights. I took another look at it and you may be able to rig something up to lock it but "out of the box" so to speak it does not lock.

No it doesn't lock. And when I received this item it was damaged. Had a very difficult time dealing with the vendor. I would not recommend this product.

I never opened the lock from the inside of thats what you mean. Asthetics are ok. Nothing to write home about. No, it cannot be set up to be open sometimes. Its is locked all the time. I dont know if it can be used outside. Both mine are inside.

When you open the mail slot, it is not an open pathway to the box - the handled opening piece is an "L" piece of metal that swings out and the mail is put on that and when closed slides into the box. So mail can't be "shoved" into the box. There is plenty of room in the box itself for mail to stack up without a problem. Hope I described this so you can understand how it works. We love the box and haven't had any problem with mail getting stuck.

I ordered it seperately and absolutely love this mailbox...it was worth every penny i spent on it and the number plate. everyone comments on it. if you buy the box...silicone caulk the inside creases so it doesnt leak through the top. i have never gotten water in it like someone else said...bone dry through the worst weather.
