Mail Chests – 4350
Spreader & Pedestal Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4350 mail chest mailbox. This instruction sheet is for installing the 4350 mail chest on spreaders 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 newspaper holder, 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.

All hardware to attach the spreader to the pedestal is included with the

1” long hex flange head bolts through the four (4) center square holes of the
spreader and through the four (4) tapped holes on the top plate of the
standard mailbox post. Cover the hex flange head bolts with cap plugs.
All hardware to attach the mail chests to the spreader is included with the
spreader. To attach a mail chest, open the front door or rear door of the mail

(4) square holes in the inside floor of the mail chest, through the square
spacer, and through the four (4) corresponding square holes in top of the
spreader. Install 5/16” flat washers and 5/16”-18 hex nuts on the ends of the
four (4) bolts protruding below the bottom of the spreader. Repeat these
steps for the other mail chest. Installation is now complete. Additional
hardware provided is not needed and may be discarded.
4383 3-Wide Spreader
All hardware to attach the spreader to the pedestal is included with the

inside floor of the center mail chest, through the square spacer, through the

chest, through the square spacer, and through the four corresponding square
