a first shutter coupling the strongbox to the outside of an exterior door via the first shutter;
a second shutter coupling the strongbox to the outside of the exterior door via the second shutter; and
a latching mechanism engaging the close lid thereby securing the one or more delivered packages inside of the strongbox; and,
wherein the first shutter and the second shutter each include a shutter standoff with a first standoff end coupled to a respective shutter and a second standoff end coupled to a spring;
wherein the shutters are adapted to slide laterally within a shutter slot passing through the strongbox; and,
