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 6” to 8” from the front face of the curb or the road edge. However,
check with your postmaster to ensure that the mailbox is installed according to
local regulations.
