Abstract
A lock assembly for installation on a rural type mail box. The lock installation provides for pre-setting the lock so that the mail person can gain access to the box upon initial door opening. Closing the door activates the lock, locking the box from further access until unlocked by the owner. A spring urged catch is displaced by the lock during pre-set positioning.
