Deluxe Mailbox Post Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Thank you for selecting Salsbury Industries 4855E eagle rural mailbox. This instruction sheet is for installing the 4855E mailbox on a Salsbury deluxe mailbox post.
Other installation instructions are available for installing the mailboxes on a standard mailbox post or on a decorative 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” 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 required to assemble the mailbox(es) to the deluxe mailbox post is provided with the post. Each mailbox requires four (4) 5/16”-18 x 2” long pan head
bolts and four (4) 5/8” nylon spacers to attach to the post arm(s). The 5/8” nylon spacers are placed between the bottom surface of the mailbox and the top surface
of the post arm. Open the front door of the mailbox and install the four (4) 5/16”-18 x 2” long pan head bolts through the four (4) square holes in the inside floor of the
mailbox, through the four (4) 5/8” nylon spacers (thread onto bolt), and into the four (4) tapped holes in the arm of the deluxe mailbox post. Additional hardware
provided is not needed and may be discarded.

with the mailbox facing the street or roadway.
