My mother (years ago) constructed wooden boxes for some of her collected mail-box doors and gave them to family members. Don't forget the lock combinations! We have the combinations for ours, but mine does not work, and I cannot open it! so be sure the door locks work before closing, or dismantle the lock mechanism.
