versatile™ 4C Quick Reference Guide
Designing appropriate accessibility into every feature of a facility is a key consideration for any
project, and how the mailboxes are installed into that facility is no exception. Plus, all wall-mounted
mailboxes which will be serviced by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) must also be installed according
to specifications as outlined in the USPS STD-4C regulation.
To assist you with selecting mailboxes that meet the specific requirements of your project, details
related to installed heights are noted on the Florence versatile™ 4C mailbox modules references on
pages 16-29. Below are also the quick references related to accessible uses and USPS requirements
to help you in determining your project layout and design.
