Fits almost any post or platform!
Customers are required to contact the local post office before installing the mailbox to ensure its correct
placement and height at the street. Generally, mailboxes are installed at a height of 41 – 45 inches from the
road surface to either the inside surface of the mailbox that the mail is placed on by the carrier or to the lowest
edge of mail entry (for locked mail slot designs) 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.
We have provided 4 Lag screws that can be used to mount this mailbox
onto a wooden post or gang plank. 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
