Proper Care and Maintenance:
Your mailbox or mailbox accessory will require maintenance to keep its appearance and to extend its
useful life. Follow manufacturer’s assembly and installation instructions for your specific product to
ensure warranty coverage and proper use of your product. Failure to follow instruction will void
warranty. The frequency and amount of maintenance is dependent upon the type of weather elements
your product is exposed to, the type of finish on your product, and the type of material your product is
constructed from. If your product begins to look dirty or weathered, clean the surface by gently rinsing
and removing build up with mild soap and water. Please follow the below care and maintenance
guidelines and refer to your product’s instruction sheet(s) for additional use and care guidelines specific
to your product
United States Postal Service Regulations:
Postal patrons are required to contact the local post office before installing the mailbox to ensure its
correct placement and height from the street. Generally, mailboxes are installed at a height of 41-45
inches from the road surface to inside floor of the mailbox and are set back 6-8 inches from the front
face of curb or road edge to the mailbox door. 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. For further assistance, please contact your local U.S. Postal Service facility or carrier.
Paint Finish – Rust Resistant Powder Coat Paint:
Our mailboxes are protected by rust resistant powder coat paint. With a minimum amount of
maintenance, your mailbox can look like new for a long period of time. Like any outdoor product made
of aluminum, surface rust may appear over time depending on its placement or environmental
conditions. Wipe any surface rust with a steel wool pad and clean with a damp cloth and household
detergent occasionally. Coat your mailbox with a high-quality car wax and your mailbox will retain its
finish. If necessary, touch up paint may be required to maintain the mailbox and extend its useful life.
Addition of paints or finishes is not warranted.
Polymer/Plastic:
Mailboxes and accessories made from polymer or plastic are low maintenance products. Clean product
with mild soap and water to remove dirt and build up.
Post Installation Warning:
Check for underground pipes or cables before installing anchor or post.
