Is this product is accepted by the USPS to attach to one of the multiple mail box units and will it work on a side opening box?

I don't think the USPS will care as long as it doesn't interfere with their work. The only issue is that it works by sensing when it has turned upside-down so to speak. So it needs a mailbox door that opens up or down. Side opening isn't going to work. The other question is: Don't they load the mailboxes from the back? If you attach it to your access door in the front, that also isn't going to work. Check out this one which uses a magnetic switch: http://www.amazon.com/Safety-Technology-International-STI-34200-Transmitter/dp/B0051AC9EY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1392501028&sr=8-7&keywords=wireless+mailbox+alert It will work with any kind of door. It just senses the magnet moving away from the sensor. You could also mount the magnet to the door in back, if need be. Might need a little cooperation from your friendly mail person while he/she has it open. I have not used the other version mentioned above. The distance to your house may be a problem, especially if the unit is buried in the middle of a big metal mailbox cluster.

I bought it specifically for sending registered boxes through USPS. No problems with my local post office.

It completely would depend on the size and how sturdy the gate is. The mailbox is heavy and would need a stout mounting post

There are three holes in a line across the middle of the mail holder box. They are centered and a few inches apart. We attached ours with only two screws and it worked just fine.

The sending unit comes with a strip of 2-sided tape--one side sticks to the mailbox lid, the other side to the sending unit. However, I also added some clear packing take to give the unit more stability.

I use it for my student mailboxes. It's cheaper and just as good quality as the more expensive ones!

the mail slot has two pieces. One for the inside and one for the outside, so I think it will work on any door. The hole in my door was a bit small so I had to carefully file it out a bit larger. Also I had to drill 4 holes for the pins that connect front to back. Other than that, you can put it together with a screw driver. Its not weather proof by any means. I get some cold air in the winter. It is solid metal and good looking.

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.

Yes, you will need a standard mail box post to properly mount this box. I suggest Lowes or a similiar big box store (I found them to be the least expensive for standard type things like this.) Mounts easily with a few screws and has been working fine for us. I expect to get many years of good service from it.

Absolutely. I have the same mailbox and it works like a top. I only wish I'd bought this years ago.

yes, to put outgoing mail and for the postman to put your incoming mail thru the slot. a key is needed to open the side door to get mail out. this is the second one we have had; it's improved over the first one. more sturdy. very nice looking mailbox. you'll like it.

You should have no problem attaching a mailbox, especially mail boxes from the same manufacturer, as I did.

I'm not sure but if you get them in correctly I don't see why it wouldn't hold a mailbox. I assume you will be using two for a mailbox so I don't think you should have any problem at all. They are actually heavier than I needed to hold up a star! Just be sure you have them in securely before attaching the mailbox. If it doesn't work you wouldn't have lost to much.

I would the mail slot is big enough to accept a small package. It has a large delivery door that can accept parcels and mail bundles, and has a large mail retrieval door located in back of mailbox.

I have a standard mail box and it fits rather snuggly. I don't think there is enough flexibility in the mount to allow it to fit over a larger mailbox.

The front opens up so mail carrier can put mail through slotted opening. There is also an inside clip to hold outgoing mail if you choose to use that feature

This particular mailbox can only be mounted on a 4" x 4" wood post using the post adapter plate made for this mailbox. Amazon sells a universal adapter plate which can be used to attach the 4x4 post to the mailbox. Really easy to install using wood screws. Also, very sturdy.
