Testimonials

After reading the reviews on the MAILNUT™ I ordered two (one for my neighbor). The mailbox I installed it on had a lip to keep the door closed; however, it was consistently standing open. The installation of the MAILNUT™ is simple - remember to clean the surface with alcohol as you are "sticking" a piece of commercial velcro to the interior mailbox side. After the installation, I found the magnet provides ample pull to keep the mailbox door closed at all times. I am very pleased with this unit and wish I had known about this earlier! A good product!

Does exactly what it says. It's holding up fine after several months. Appears to be ready for the long haul.

I was tired of coming home and seeing our mailbox wide open. Needed to keep the door from being blown open during windy weather. MAILNUT™ worked for both! The mailbox door is always in place (even after storms, rain, and windy days)...unless someone forgets to shut the door after retrieving our mail.

— Faith Love

Great product for those mailboxes that always have their door flopped open. I purchased a MAILNUT™ about a year ago, and it works perfectly. The commercial-grade velcro holds fast. Don't replace your mailbox just because the door will not close, buy a MAILNUT™. Walking to the mailbox will take longer than installing the MAILNUT™. No tools are required. Just be sure to place the matching magnet and metal door plate correctly. You will not separate the velcro once you snap it in place.

Love the product. Bought one before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will MAILNUT™ work if my door is hanging off or has a broken hinge?

MAILNUT™ works best and is recommended when your mailbox door has full closure and the door and hinges are in place. Mailbox should be mounted properly to the post.

Will MAILNUT™ work if the inside of my mailbox is rusty and/or has peeling paint?

For best results, mount the 3M dual lockpad to a clean, dry surface. MAILNUT™ packaging includes: directions, a sterile alcohol prep pad, a 2" x 2" sand paper square, and a wooden scrape stick to assist in preparing the mounting surface.

How can I be certain MAILNUT™ will work on my mailbox?

There are hundreds of different mailbox models that have been created over the years and to test MAILNUT™ on every mailbox model that has ever been sold would be virtually impossible. So as a general rule if your mailbox door closes over the outside of the mailbox MAILNUT™ is most likely to work. However, if your mailbox door closes into the inside of your mailbox MAILNUT™ would most likely NOT work.
