Which is grammatically correct?

Please leave the parcel in the box and press the barrel to lock.
Please leave a parcel in the box and press the barrel to lock
Please leave the parcel in the box and press the push button to lock
Please leave a parcel in the box and press the push button to lock


Thanks a lot

Thank you, but if it's got a button in front of it, and you open it from the top to put a parcel in, could it be:

Please leave parcel in box and press button to lock?

not to confuse a postman trying to push the top down to lock, instead of the button.

If X is a button, then use the word 'button'.

I'd write: Please leave parcel(s)...

Yes, just realized. That was really helpful, much obliged.
