Fits almost any post or platform!
It is advised to contact the local post office or mail carrier before installing the mailbox to ensure
its correct placement at the street. Generally, mailboxes are installed at a height of 41”- 45” from the
road surface to the point of mail entry for a locking mailbox, and are set back 6“- 8” from the front face
of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door. Please 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.
We have provided 4 Lag screws that can be used to mount this mailbox
onto wood. There are many ways to do this depending on your specific needs.
You may want to look at examples in your neighborhood or on the internet to
give you ideas on what is best for you.

We strongly recommend you WRITE DOWN YOUR KEY NUMBER and keep it in a safe place.
Without a key number we will not be able to provide replacement keys, you will have to purchase a new lock and keys set.
For security purposes, we reserve the right to deny key replacement without proof of purchase. Additional keys can be purchased at mailboss.com
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Your new Mail Boss mailbox is designed to withstand the elements, to help preserve the UV and weather coating
apply a clear or light colored car wax to the exterior of the box 2-3 times per year. If your mailbox finish is damaged exposing the
metal, we recommend prompt application of a matching protective paint such as Rust-Oleum to prevent rusting. To preserve your
lock we recommend the application of “Tri-Flow” lubricant to the interior of the lock twice a year. If you live in an area where dust,
debris or salt spray is prevalent, you may consider purchasing a lock dust cover from mailboss.com for added protection.
! IMPORTANT !
Using a pen/pencil mark the holes you
will be drilling into the wood using the
bottom of the mailbox as your template.
Secure the mailbox to the top of
the post using the machine screws
provided with the post. Secure bolts
with a 13mm socket or wrench.
