Option 5

What it is
A slim, 3D-printed magnetic holder that mounts to the inside wall or ceiling of a metal post box. From outside you can't even see it , unless you know it is there.

Why
For those “locked out” moments, this gives you a discreet backup that lives in your post box, not under a doormat.

How it works

  • Magnets sit on the back/outer side of the holder so they directly touch the metal wall for maximum grip.
  • Mount on a side wall or the top wall (ceiling) of the mailbox.

Hardware / BOM

  • 4× round magnets Ø6×2 mm (use your preferred size; scale pockets if needed)

Here highlighted in blue - you can see where magnets need to be inserted.

  • Optional: tiny foam dot/tape to prevent rattle
  • Adhesive: CA gel or 2-part epoxy for magnets (check polarity before gluing!)

Assembly

  • Press-fit or glue magnets into the rear pockets so they will touch the metal wall when installed.
  • Test magnetic pull on your mailbox surface.
  • Insert key;
  • Stick the holder inside the mailbox (side or top) where yo can reach it. with your hand when mailbox is closed

Notes & safety

  • This is a convenience holder, not a high-security safe. Keep the mailbox locked.
  • Check local rules for storing items inside a postal box.
