Stylish Locking Mailboxes Secure Your Mail
February 10, 2007 – 4:31 pm
Even if you haven’t experienced mail theft in your neighborhood, a secure mailbox just makes sense. Why take chances when you’re mailing out checks? And in this day and age, sometimes all it takes is for someone to snag a piece of your mail to perpetrate identify theft on you. That’s why locking mailboxes are smart ideas in any neighborhood.
Most secure mailboxes don’t look all that attractive though. They tend to be rather industrial and minimalist (nothing more than a stainless steel box that gets mounted on a pole or the side of the house). Fortunately (for those of us who care about curb appeal as well as home security), I found one company that makes stylish and contemporary boxes.
The Mailbox Dr. features custom-made locking mailboxes in a variety of styles. Basically they’ll create whatever you want, so you can get one that perfectly matches the design of your home. Check out the picture gallery on their site for ideas:
