Heavy Duty Rural Mailboxes – 4850

Decorative Mailbox Post Installation Instructions

U.S.P.S. APPROVED

Installing Mailbox on a Decorative Mailbox Post

Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4850 heavy duty rural mailbox.

This instruction sheet is for installing the 4850 mailbox on a
decorative mailbox post. Other installation instructions are available

for installing the mailboxes on a standard mailbox post or on a deluxe

mailbox post, installing the mailbox on spreaders, mounting a

newspaper holder, and mounting 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.

All hardware to install the mailbox is provided with the post. To

install the mailbox, set the mailbox on the decorative mailbox post

mounting plate, open the front door of the mailbox and install six (6)
5/16”-18 X 3/4” long carriage bolts into the six (6) square holes in the

floor of the mailbox and through the six (6) square holes on the

decorative mailbox post mounting plate. Install 5/16” flat washers

and 5/16”-18 hex nuts on the ends of the six (6) bolts protruding

below the bottom of the decorative mailbox post mounting plate.
Cover the hex nuts with cap plugs.

Additional hardware provided is not needed and may be discarded.
