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, as described below. You can mount your mailbox on one of the
optional mailbox posts we offer, or you can mount it to a wooden post using the optional 4X4 Adapter.
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 7507, 7510, 7511, 7513 or
7516) or Standard In-ground Post (item 5525): Dig a hole deep
enough to allow the mailbox 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
in new concrete, dig a hole deep and large enough for the new
concrete to properly support the mailbox and to allow the mailbox
to sit at the specified height. If using concrete anchors in
preexisting concrete, make sure the anchor positions allow the
mailbox to sit at the specified height. Also, make sure the bolt or
anchor positions allow for the specified set-back distance from
the curb or steet/road edge, typically 6 to 8 inches from curb.

If you are mounting onto one of our optional posts,
follow the instructions below:
If you are mounting onto an existing post:
The mailbox has mounting bolt patterns on the bottom and sides that are designed to provide adequate mounting strength and stability for long term
use. Drilling new holes or modifying the mailbox in any way may compromise the function, strength or corrosion resistance of the product, and will
void your warranty. Make sure your existing bracket or any new DIY bracket you create does not interfere with proper door function. The bracket must
allow the door to open fully without interference, for uninhibited mail delivery by your carrier. Follow the USPS Mounting Guidelines below.
If you are mounting onto one of our optional 4x4
wooden post accessories (items 7540):
Follow the instructions that came with your optional 4x4
bracket and the USPS Mounting Guidelines below.
