You might want to consider that on the side door through the wall, it is easier to apply and can not be so expensive.
It can be done, but it will be difficult, dirty and dangerous if you do not know what you're doing.
They are a circular saw blade for cutting metal have (I use a leaf node) ablation. You need a hacksaw blade cutter or hacksaw.
Remove the hinge pin so that you can down the door and on easels in the open or in a basement place / garage. Use a square and a ruler to mark the area to reduce it. Put on your safety equipment (I use earplugs foam inner ear muffs, masks, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket flame retardant gloves, and thick leather). This will be high and sparks. Make sure that nothing flammable nearby. You need to make the saw cuts to come through the door. It is not easy if you know how to run a circular saw. Cut the long sides of the mail slot (top and bottom). Then with your saw, or saw, cut the short sides. Debar and clean the edges with a metal file and sandpaper.
You should be able to install the mailbox.
Good luck.
did you manage to install it?
I agree with MP. You should be really careful as you might create more dammages. Good luck
