Mounting Instructions
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, or you can mount it to a wooden post using the optional 4X4 Adapter (Item 7540).
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.

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 7510 or 7513): Refer to the instructions included with the post.

For Decorative Post (item 7510 or7513): Refer to the instructions included with the post.
Note - If you are using a mounting method other than an optional post (items 5525,
5526, 7507, 7510, 7513, or 7516): 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.
