Installing Mail Chests on 2-Wide Spreader with
Newspaper Holders on a Pedestal
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4350 mail chest mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing 4350 mail chests on 2-wide spreaders
with 4315 newspaper holders and a pedestal. A different instruction sheet is
available for installing 4350 mail chests on a 3-wide spreader with 4315
newspaper holders and a pedestal. Other installation instructions are
available for installing the mail chest on a pedestal, or on a deluxe post,
installing the mail chest on a spreader, and installing the pedestal 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 a locked mailbox should be 41”
to 45” from the ground or street surface up to the point of mail entry. 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. 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.
