Will the door close on it's own? My mail deliverer refuses to close the door !

I love this mailbox, but the door doesn't close on its on. But it takes miminal effort to close it. Most all mailboxes have doors, and you should call the postmaster in your area and complain.

Unfortunately this door doesn't close on its own. If your carrier doesn't close the door I would call your post office and ask the postmaster to make sure your carrier fulfills his responsibility and closes the door.

It does not.He will need to lift the door back up for mail to drop into the box.

No, there is no self closing door on this box. That said, even with the door open, once your mail drops down in it is not visible and you need your key to get to it.

The doors close shut, but there is no lock. I can tell you they do not open easily on their own. I've been very happy with my purchase. If you want you can add a latch lock to it.

I would say no. When the door is in the up position it holds the door up. It takes downward pressure to lower the door and close it.

It can be left open... but with a gentle nudge will swing close and self latch.

no that hasn't happened to me. Mine has a bit of trouble actually getting closed as it is so tight. We just shut it until it stops then push the buttons to close it the rest of the way. Otherwise we slam it shut and then it shuts just fine. We love the gate especially the fact that we can take it off and leave the brackets when we want to.

No you cannot close the door it uses both sides of the door for it to hold up

The hangers that fit over the door are very sturdy, but thin. I had no problem closing my bedroom door. I guess it depends on how tightly your door fits the frame.

The door does not close automatically. It opens both ways. Once it reaches the middle there's a stopper, so you have to lift up and over the cross-bar.

Well, I have it on my closet's door and I can shut it w/o problem. However, I tried putting it on my room's door, and it cannot be closed. It depends on the kind of door too.

Probably not, it cups the frame of the door so I don't think you would be able to close the door.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.

No if it shuts hard enough the gate latches itself and it is completely locked.

Suzanne, we had problems closing the freezer door, too. Found small piece of white styrofoam stuck close to the hinge (was hard to see it). Once removed the door shut perfectly. Connie

Once you secure the gate in place the latch will close. The gate needs the pressure from the wall/stairs to cinch up the gate. If the gate doesn't latch, you do not have the gate tight enough. Good luck! It's a great gate!

It would be difficult but not inconceivable. However, I would save your money or buy something else that will actually have a door that stays closed.

Depends on the design of your door. Usually it'll take an extra TUG on the door, to get it to close. In general, it'll be a TIGHT fit.

Yes, our door remains shut closed with the hoop on it. I have on top of our shed door outside. We had it in the house at first and the playing drove me crazy. So all summer toys got moved outside for parental sanity.
