Installation Instructions
Installing Mailbox on a Decorative Post
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s decorative mailbox post. We are
confident that the quality and construction of the post will prove to be
a good investment. This instruction sheet is for installing the
Salsbury 4850 mailbox on a Salsbury decorative mailbox post.
When you install a curbside or rural 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.
The mounting plate on the decorative post has six (6) plain holes.
Set the mailbox on the mounting plate, open the door, and insert the
six (6) 5/16” carriage bolts supplied with the mailbox into the six (6)
holes in the floor of the mailbox. Install the 5/16” flat washers and
5/16” acorn nuts on the ends of the six (6) bolts protruding below the
bottom of the post mounting plate.
