We have a metal mailbox. Standard issue. Will the device work with this?

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

Absolutely. Mine is a large standard metal box, about 200 feet away from my house. Works flawlessly.

Works just fine on our all metal box from Lowes. I think the key is that the door is open when the switch is tripped so it doesn't really matter what the mailbox is made of. Had ours now for almost two months without any problems noticed.

My mailbox is heavy gauge metal, approximately 100 feet from the transmitter. It works great.

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

I assume you are inquiring about the "Mail Alert" system. But yes, we also have a standard metal mailbox and it works great. We can't imagine living w/o the mail alert system anymore. Good Luck.

Should have no issues. Its worked with devices I didn't expect it too, and is still working great!

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

Britne: I just saw your question since I was out of email range for a while. I have no way to be sure, but I would guess an 18.5 mailbox might be a bit much for this mounting post. However, if you go under the manufacturer's specs it should tell you what the post is designed to support.

In my case, I think that the metal mailbox shielded the signal from reaching the house. Perhaps it would have worked had the house been only a few feet from the box.

i have not tried it but it should work the same way with that model. it is a very simple device

not really. you could put something sticking out of the main slot but nothing specific for outbound mail.

I have the same the same device with the gold tone connectors. I have had no problems with the device.

Should work, but mine is being integrated into a thin client by my developers. So I can't say from first hand experience.

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

Mine is installed against a wall, not on a post. A newspaper will jam the slot open possibly if pushed in from one end. It will not drop down into the box. It is intended for regular mail. It might be best to add some sort of holder under the unit or possibly lay the paper on top if the unit is fastened to a wall.

Yes it will. I did the same thing with this device. Included/Downloaded software will take care of your issue.

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.

It seems to function the way it is supposed to work. I just tried it for the first time when I saw the email, so the answer is no.

I'm not sure. Depends on the type of slot you have. Go to http://mailchime.com/ and look at their illustrations of the types of boxes it will work on.

Sounds like a brilliant idea. But depending on the mailbox location. Inside/outside. I'm not sure what the operating tempeture on the device is. I'm sure you can find the tech sheet on it at http://www.smarthone.com

Yes it can. It comes with a bracket that you can attach to to either a wood or steel post. The steel post is sold separately and is made to attach to that mailbox. If you looking for a good secure mailbox set up I would recommend you the steel post too.
