Installation Guide

Your new mailbox comes completely assembled. To begin using your mailbox, it must be properly mounted in accordance
with USPS requirements to facilitate carrier access, described below. You can mount your mailbox on one of the optional
mailbox posts we offer (sold separately), or you can mount it to a wooden post using the optional 4X4 Adapter (also sold
separately).
CUSTOMERS ARE REQUIRED TO CONTACT THE LOCAL POST OFFICE BEFORE INSTALLING THE MAILBOX TO
ENSURE ITS CORRECT PLACEMENT AND HEIGHT AT THE STREET. GENERALLY, MAILBOXES ARE INSTALLED AT
A HEIGHT OF 41-45 INCHES FROM THE ROAD SURFACE TO INSIDE FLOOR OF THE MAILBOX OR POINT OF MAIL
ENTRY (LOCKED DESIGNS) AND ARE SET BACK 6-8 INCHES FROM THE FRONT FACE OF CURB OR ROAD EDGE
TO THE MAILBOX DOOR.

For 3” Round In-ground Post (item 7505 or 7507) or Standard In-ground Post (item 5525): Dig a hole deep
enough to allow the box to sit at the specified height, as required by your local post office. The height from the
road level to the mailbox floor is typically between 41 and 45 inches. Make sure the hole is set back from the road
such that the distance from the curb or the road edge to the mailbox face meets local post office requirements,
typically between 6 and 8 inches.
For Standard Surface Mount Post item 5526: If using j-bolts, dig a hole deep enough to properly support the box
(about 18") and to allow the box to sit at the specified height. If using concrete anchors in preexisting concrete,
make sure the anchor positions allow the box to sit at the specified height. Also, make sure the bolt or anchor
positions allow for the specified set-back, typically 6 to 8 inches from curb.
For Decorative Post item 5515: Refer to the instructions included with the post.

correctly positioned according to your local post office.
For Standard Surface Mount Post (item 5526): Pour
concrete around j-bolts held in the correct pattern, or install

Note - If you are using a mounting method other than one of our optional post (items
7505, 7507, 5525, 5526, 5515 or 5565): The mailbox has mounting bolt patterns on the
bottom that are designed to provide adequate mounting strength and stability for long term
use. Do not drill new mounting holes into the mailbox floor. Instead, create a bracket to
attach the mailbox to the post using the existing holes in the mailbox floor. Drilling new holes
or modifying the mailbox in any way may compromise the function, strength or corrosion
resistance of the product, and void the warranty.
