Mail Chest – 4350
Wall or Column Mounted Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Mail Chest in a Wall or Column
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4350 mail chest mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing the 4350 mail chest in a hole in
a wall or column. Other installation instructions are available for
installing the mail chest on a pedestal, installing the mail chest on a
deluxe post, installing the mail chest on spreaders, mounting a
newspaper holder, and mounting a 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.
It is recommended to have the unit present before starting the wall or
column construction to obtain the best possible installation. The
rough opening should be sized approximately 1/2” larger than the
outside dimensions of the unit.
Due to construction variations and method of fastening the unit in the
installation, the fastening hardware is not included. Choose
fasteners that are appropriate for the construction method. Note:
remove flag from mail chest before installing into column or wall.
