Is it an open bottom? How does attach to mailbox--front and back end screws?

Not an open bottum because the drawer slides out. It is the bottum it does have front and back screws.

Open bottom, front bottom screws ONLY (screws were short). Assembled lockbox using longer screws in bottom front of the mailbox ONLY.

Bottom is open. There are screws in the front and back bottom. Works okay. Not optimal.

I want to replace this with old mailbox. There are existing screws in my bricks. How much space is in between the holes of the mailboxes? I would not like to make more holes in my brick.

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 mailbox has to be secured with lag bolts and it would be very difficult to fasten it to concrete. The opening for the post is three sides fixed and one side open. It does not slide down over the post.

It has screw holes in the bottom. I bought the adapter kit & it was not hard to install but you will need matching holes in your post. It took me approx. an hour to get it all together.

Additional comments!: I looked up the mailbox and it seems to have a significant number of changes that address my "issues." I see that they give you three keys now and the keys look different, so maybe they can be copied more easily. Also, it shows that bottom plate in one of the side pictures and it's obvious that it could be mounted on a column. Probably likely that's how it's mounted most of the time. The issue of delivery of large packages is still there, though, as you can see from the picture with it open. I hope that's more helpful.

The door at top does not have a key. Remove the floor of the top part and mail drops all the way to bottom making it unable to reach. There is a lock to the bottom section of the box where your mail is now stored that makes it secure and can hold many days of mail. I really like mine.

Yes, you need to purchase a mounting bracket with this mailbox. I see that Amazon sells one but at the time I don;t recall seeing one and I purchased one from Sears Hardware. I imagine with super long screws you could secure it to a post but it would not be stable or hold up over time. I would imagine it would eventually fall off and that's only if you could secure it in the first place. Buy the mounting bracket.

It only takes 2 screws. It is the design where there is the wider opening of the hole where you put the box over the screw then slide the mailbox down to prevent it from falling off. Depending on your old mailbox, the screw holes might line up.

There is a hole in the base that is made for a long screw to bolt it to the post that goes into the ground. (We did not bother to secure it, but I can't imagine someone stealing such a large mailbox.)

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.

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.

I screwed a 2x6 atop the post and then layed the mailbox on top if it and screwed it in. This supported the whole box and there are holes in the base to do so. Very nice for the price

It sure is. I had a talk with the Delivery Postman. He complained that the outgoing mail holder when placed where suggested kept letting the letters fall. Some even on the ground. He took the holder, just glued on the door, and placed on the up right, below the slot, and It now holds the letters until he removes them

There's 2 circular plastic pieces with the inside shaped like a square which slides over the post, u slip on 1 at the bottom and one towards the top, and then put the mailbox over the post and then u can use screws (included) to bolt it onto the posts. it is very secure and easy. Sorry about my description I'm not familiar with parts etc. But u can have it up in 2 minutes if u already have a post: )

Mine was not askew. I don't believe that to be "normal". The rear door, unlike the rest of the mailbox, is very lightweight and could get off center very easily. If it will not operate properly, and not easily fixed, I would return it.

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.
