A locking mechanism (30) for a theft resistant mailbox includes a door assembly. A door (14) is affixed to a frame by at least one pivot point. A cam (34) includes a lever rotatably engaged to a fixed surface at a mounting point and defines a cutout (41) oriented to be removably engaged to a striker (52) attached to a separate surface abutting the fixed surface to form a lock for the door (14) upon urging of the cam (34) along an angle of rotation defined about the mounting point. An anti-pry plate (51) is attached to the fixed surface and juxtapositioned about the cam (34) throughout the angle of rotation by which the lock is effected. The fixed surface includes one of the frame and the door (14). The separate surface includes an other one of the frame and the door (14). The fixed surface and the separate surface are provided independent of the at least one pivot point. |
