The first two times the staple gets stuck, it gets stuck on the outside ring of the lock. I could have sat there all day from 1 - 2 inches away, and shot at it. There just isn't enough force for it to stick that way. I should add that every post office box I've ever seen has a lock pretty much flush with the surface of the box. That makes it that much more than impossible. My "lock" overhangs so there is space for the other staple prong to hang over the edge of the lock.
Yes, this is overkill.
