Weight Keeps Mailbox Closed

Weight Keeps Mailbox Closed FARM HOME Miscellaneous David Bliss came up with a simple way to keep the door on his mailbox closed using a weight attached to a length of bike brake cable The cable attaches to the mailbox door and runs through a cable tube down through the mailbox to a weight made from a piece of pvc pipe “The weight works better than using a spring because it applies the same force on the door all the time whereas there’s more tension on a spring when the door is open than when it’s closed ” says Bliss Contact: FARM SHOW Followup David Bliss 1307 Lakeside Rd Virginia Beach Va 23455 davidobliss1@gmail com
