Mailnut Magnet Testimonials

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!

— Owen L. Bouma

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

— RJF

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.

— Max D Nettleton

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.
