Eagle Rural Mailboxes – 4855E
Standard Mailbox Post Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Mailbox on a Standard Mailbox Post
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4855E eagle rural mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing the 4855E mailbox on a
standard mailbox post. Other installation instructions are available
for installing the mailboxes on a decorative mailbox post or on a
deluxe mailbox post, installing the mailbox on spreaders, mounting a
newspaper holder, and mounting the post in a concrete footing.
When you install a curbside or roadside 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.
All hardware to install the mailbox is provided with the post. To
install the mailbox, set the mailbox on the standard mailbox post,
open the front door of the mailbox and install four (4) 5/16” - 18 x 2”
long pan head bolts through the four (4) square holes in the inside
floor of the mailbox and through the four (4) tapped holes on the top
plate of the standard mailbox post.
Additional hardware provided is not needed and may be discarded.
