Newspaper Holder Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Newspaper Holder under Mailbox
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4850 heavy duty rural mailbox.
We are confident that the quality and construction of the mailbox will
prove to be a good investment.
This instruction sheet is for installing the 4850 mailbox along with a
4815 newspaper holder. Other installation instructions are available
for installing the mailbox on a standard post, installing the mailbox on
a decorative post, installing the mailbox on spreaders, or installing
the post in a concrete footing.
When you install a curbside or roadside mailbox, make sure that it is
easily accessible to the mail carrier. By regulation it should be 41” to
45” from the ground or street surface up to the inside floor of the
mailbox. The door should be set back 6” to 8” back from the front
face of the curb or the road edge. However, you should check with
your local postmaster to ensure that the mailbox is installed
according to local regulations.
The mailbox is fastened to the newspaper holder with six (6) 5/16”
carriage bolts, washers, and acorn nuts. The mailbox should be
attached to the upper “A” holes when attached to a decorative post or
the “B” holes when attached to a standard post as shown in
Illustration 1. The assembled mailbox and newspaper holder is then
fastened to the standard or decorative post with the appropriate
hardware in the lower “A” or “B” holes, as required. When attaching
to a decorative post, use the six (6) 5/16” carriage bolts. When
attaching to a standard post, use the four (4) 5/16” hex washer head
bolts included with the standard post. The four 5/16” hex washer
head bolts are used to attach to the standard post, and the six (6)
5/16” carriage bolts with washers and acorn nuts are used to attach
to the decorative post. See Illustration 2.
