Does the front door just drop down to open without anything but the hinges to hold it? Or does it have a spring or cable or other door retainer?

The front door just "drops" down on its hinge. It is sort of like opening a large blue postal mailboxes on a typically street in America. It is not spring or cable attached.

Not sure what makes it close, but, I have had it installed about 5 months now and the door has never remained "open". Our mail person is pretty famous for leaving a few mail box doors open on standard mail boxes, thus the reason I got this. Guessing the design and weight of the door mechanism makes it close? Our mail person seems to love it because it is much wider than a standard mailbox slot so no folding larger papers and they don't have to worry about "slamming" the door shut. Note that you do have to retrieve the mail from the back of the mailbox, so not the part facing the road....

It hinges in the same way the post office drop box does. Very solid and we'll made. Water tight holds a bunch.

No it is spring loaded and closes as so as you let go on the opening mechanism.

Shane,It looks like there is a small spring mechanism and a plastic wedge for close assist. The door will not close automatically until about half way open. It is not a smooth closure but it does close.

It with a Velcro which allows you to attach it to the door so it locks to it. So far, it works great for me.

Yes, it has a spring panel at the top that is adjustable by pushing it down to fit your door.

Yes, it opens in front without a key, but, mail can only go in, can't be retrieved from the front. I told my mailman that I simply close the side door, without locking it (but strangers cant tell it's not locked) if he needs the larger opening for packages. Nice box IMHO.

It just opens from the front door on the top. It swings down. Nice bread (etc.) box. Ours had a little imperfection in the weave, but natural looking, so we kept it. Nice size too.

no. this product is only spring loaded and it will close the door, but it will not close it any slower. hope this helps. it is a good product.

It has a steel fastener that latches when the door is closed. You pull to open and close to latch.

There is a looped strap with a round object sewn on one end . Put that over the top or side of the door and close the door. It holds fast.

No, it does not hold the door open, you must use a doorstop or hook and eye to hold it open. It is a very adjustable unit that can slam the door shut or ease it closed depending on how you adjust it. The unit can be mounted for left, right, on door, or on jamb mounting.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.

There is an attachment, actually a strong band of fabric with a loop, for the bands to go through, and the end has a thickened portion that can be placed on the other side of a door frame when the door is opened, but will not slip through when the door is closed. It acts like an anchor.

It braces on the doorframe- the front and back. It uses pads and tension to hold up with you on it

This is a self standing that you can install without putting screws but when u open the sliding door, the pressure mount also detaches from your wall. The pressure mount is attached to the door panel. So basically the entire gate collapses. While this product is very sturdy, it's not good if you are looking for day to day open-close operation. Hope this helps

You can leave the door off if you wish , no hinges attached hope this helps.

the "bottom" cover is on a hinge (like a door) so it just swings open, it has springs holding it closed
