Rust-Free Mailbox Mounting Bracket, Aluminum, Large (fits mailboxes with a 8”- Wide Floor)

This is a good product that fit perfectly with a larger sized mailbox. The issue is with the installation. The sides of the bracket were not pre-drilled so I had to drill them myself. This is thick metal that isn't so easy to drill without the correct type of drill bit. The average buyer will likely have difficulty with this. If this had the pre-drilled holes I would have rated it 5 stars.

The product did an excellent job of attaching our 8" wide mailbox to our new Mayne Newport Plus post except that I had to replace the 8 screws that came with it at a cost of an additional $4.45. There are 4 wood screws that attach the brackets to the post and 4 more self-tapping screws that attach the box to the brackets. All 8 were regular steel which would start rusting and get really ugly in no time. WHY, in a product that brags about "rust-free," would you ship with regular steel hardware??As others have mentioned, the self-tapping screws only work after pre-drilling a hole (which is I believe how self-tapping screws are supposed to work), so this really was not an issue.Other than having to make a trip to Lowes and spend another 25% on top of the original purchase for stainless steel hardware, I am quite happy with the installation and the final look/stability of my mailbox.

It holds my mailbox in place and was easy to install. A previous reviewer said to watch the installation video that is listed in the included instructions. That was a great tip. I watched the short video and installed it. The self-tapping screws went through the supports to anchor the mailbox using medium pressure with an electric drill/screw driver. After about two or three seconds you will start to see the metal shavings and then the screws will proceed to go in and then tighten up. Another reviewer expressed what I thought was a valid concern that the self-tapping screws might rust. My mailbox is black, so I used some old black Rust-Oleum paint in a small can that I had laying around to paint over the screws as a precaution, plus the metallic screws will not stand out now. Overall, I am happy with it. It has a nice look too. For the price (equivalent to the cheap wood brace I found in the big box stores) and for buying an American made good, I would easily recommend this to others.

Good video url included in instructions. Could not have installed mailbox without this. Included 4 screws to mount rackets to mailbox post. Also included (4) self tapping screws to go through side of mailbox and into bracket. At first I thought brackets were missing holes, but self tappers went right in.

Pleasantly surprised how easy they were to install. I wasn't sure how difficult the install would be since not all the holes were pre-drilled. But everything was super easy as long as you have a cordless drill. I will update if my opinion changes.

Does not fit as advertised. Title states it is for an 8.72 inch mailbox. Specifications says it is 7.875 inches long, an inch short. Read additional specifications only after receipt and found item too short. I was able to use bracket by offsetting the two brackets and attach mailbox at front right and rear left. Shame because material is excellent quality.

These brackets made installation of new mailbox so easy! Seriously, as a woman who isn't handy, I am so proud how quickly I was able to replace my small worn mailbox with a new, slightly larger one. My usps guy his very happy also!

due to timer restrictions I could not wait for this product but when it did arrive it looked like a good product .
