does this mailbox lock?

There is no keyed locking feature, but there is a spring & ball detent that holds the door securely closed.

It does not lock, however, the mailbox is excellent quality and the door catching mechanism is adjustable despite some reported issues around the door opening (not certain if that is what you referred to by "locking").

Not that I know of. If you have smaller boxes and can see the display you can quickly way them and it will not lock. If you have larger boxes, I wait 5 seconds, then remove them to see the wait. But of course you now have to wait thru the locked time.

Yes, the box has a key lock on one side. The hardware that attaches the box to the rail is inside the box, so as long as it is locked the box can't be removed.

It does lock. It has a mechanism that attaches to the wall. You push a button and slip it in and out.

There is no locking insert and there is no slot in the door. It is a sturdy, basic mailbox.

Yes, it opens in front without a key, but, mail can only go in, can't be retrieved from the front. I told my mailman that I simply close the side door, without locking it (but strangers cant tell it's not locked) if he needs the larger opening for packages. Nice box IMHO.

It has a loop on both top covers for a lock. Once locked, you can not open the box.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and didn't check out the details. Don't know if it has a spot for a lock on it.

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

Yes, there is a small door above the locked area to put out going mail. Put the red flag on the side up so that the mailman knows to check.

No, it does not lock at all. I don't think it's designed where you could add one, either.

For the mailbox I received, I will parrot a previous poster in regards to your question Stacy, "it has a metal finger pull, no latch like the old boxes, door is fit just a bit big enough to grip the box to secure and seal."

No, just inside of the hatch that allows the mail to be delivered is a clip that allows the outgoing mail to be attached. I never use the outgoing feature since it likely would be a payment of some kind and the reason I got my locking box was to thwart mail theft. The same company makes a bigger box with an outdoing mail shelf.

No, although my mailman wishes more people use this box. You would have to give your mailman a copy of the key in order for the mail service to have access to the box. This box really does work and we have not had any more mail theft issues since installation.

This cabinet does not lock. It has two magnetic latches, one near the top of the door and one near the bottom. There is one brushed nickel type pull knob.

No, it has no lock, and is inherently insecure. Keeps the rain, snow, dirt and junk out, but doesn't provide any real security.
