Designer Roadside Mailboxes
– 4325D
Wall or Column Mounted Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Mailbox in a Wall or Column
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4325D designer roadside mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing the 4325D mailbox in a hole in a
wall or column. Other installation instructions are available for
installing the mailbox on a pedestal, installing the mailbox on a
deluxe mailbox post, installing the mailbox on spreaders, mounting a
newspaper holder, and mounting a pedestal 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 a locked mailbox
should be 41” to 45” from the ground or street surface up to the point
of mail entry. 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. It is important to note that it is not the
responsibility of mail carriers to open mailboxes that are locked,
accept keys for this purpose, or lock mailboxes after delivery of the
mail.
It is recommended to have the unit present before starting the wall or
column construction to obtain the best possible installation. The
rough opening should be sized approximately 1/2” larger than the
outside dimensions of the unit. Note: remove flag from mailbox
before installing into column or wall.
Due to construction variations and method of fastening the unit in the
installation, the fastening hardware is not included. Choose
fasteners that are appropriate for the construction method.
