This mailbox does Not lock. It has magnets where it shuts securely on both sides, but no locks.

Hi Brian. It has a key lock and comes with two keys. However, I DO NOT recommend you purchase this gun cabinet. The instructions are TERRIBLE. I am not a novice at assembly but this one was extreme. The directions are very vague and you will not realize you've made a mistake until it it too late to reverse the mistake. I saw a cabinet very similar to it at Academy Sports for roughly the same price. I would go there and get one already assembled.

I believe it's two keys. If you want more keys just take them to your local lowes. They are easily duplicated

not sure what you are asking, but it has a key lock system. Im very happy with it. It stays shut. I would have added a cover for the change but other than that its the best cash box Ive had. I do craft shows

Sorry - can't remember, but I think two. However, the lock works very well for me!

There is no lock, but the door and the box itself are made with heavy enough material that installing a lock would be fairly simple and secure.

When you lift the lid the lock is underneath. Under the lid, there is a metal piece with the lock on it and a slot for the mail to be put in by the postal service. To remove your mail you need to unlock it. We removed this piece because it's not necessary to lock up our mail.

I got 4 locks and 4 keys. I have each one on a different ring, but most often just one!

Yes, the box itself does lock as well do the two racks. In fact the box stays locked at all times. Therefore the key is always needed to open or close it.

The unit comes with two keys. If your postal worker is willing to keep a key on them for your mailbox, then great. You've got a great mailman/woman. Lucky you. As to the why not? Who knows? Why is grass green? Why is the sky blue? The world may never know.

All the locks have are not keyed the exact same. I think there is 5-6 different key combinations. But there is no way to tell from the outside of the container which one they are...

There is no key lock. The drawers push closed and have a slight pressure added too keep them in. That is all.

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.

The red "flag" on the side can be pulled out indicating there's outgoing mail. On mine, the mailman would NOT need a key. There are two doors on this box: the locked bottom compartment, and the unlocked hinged top door (it's the section on the pic of the box where "U.S. MAIL" is written. The postal worker opens the top unlocked door, and tosses the mail in where it falls into the locked compartment. There is a large clip visible right behind the top unlocked door panel for OUTGOING mail to be wedged under . With the red flag out (and especially if mail is being delivered) the postal worker will easily see it. Again, no one including the mail carrier, will need a key to get your outgoing mail, assuming it fits in the top compartment where the letter clip is. However, since no one will need a key to access your outgoing mail, ANYONE can get to your outgoing mail (but this is the case for most private mailboxes). My only issue with this mailbox is that it seems to attract a lot of bills, but I'm shopping around for a filter for this problem.

It comes with a seperate key if you want to lock it, you have to do manually

The hinge is a "piano" hinge running the full length of the box, the lock is a spring-loaded latch with a key lock. I built a rack from angle iron to set the box in and bolted from the bottom. Hope this helps.

There are two compartments and, yes, only the lower compartment is locked. The mail carrier uses the hinged pull-down door on the upper compartment to place incoming mail. When he/she closes the door, the mail "theoretically" drops down to the lower locked compartment, which is where you unlock and retrieve your mail. It works like a miniature version of those big blue US Post Office mailboxes common on street corners. Small packages (such as a box of checks from your bank) will fit, but larger parcels will not. My carrier leaves larger boxes on my porch. (P.S. I say "theoretically" because often the mail does not drop down to the bottom compartment right away, but if you open the top door again it does. So a potential thief cannot get to it by slowly opening the top compartment, as the mail will fall down to the lower compartment if he/she tries. Trust me, I have tried this strategy unsuccessfully on several occasions when I have forgotten my mailbox key!)
