U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Mailboxes on 3-Wide Spreader with
Newspaper Holders on Pedestal
Thank
you for selecting Salsbury’s 4325 roadside mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing 4325 mailboxes on a 3-wide spreader
with 4315 newspaper holders and a pedestal. A different instruction sheet is
available for installing 4325 mailboxes on a 2-wide or 4-wide spreader with
4315 newspaper holders and a pedestal. Other installation instructions are
available for installing the mailbox on a pedestal, or on a deluxe mailbox
post, installing the mailbox 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
.
Spreader and Newspaper Holders Installation to
Pedestal
Attaching the spreader to the pedestal requires simultaneously attaching the
center newspaper holder to the spreader and to the pedestal. Start by
installing four (4) 5/16”-18 x 2” long pan head bolts provided with the
pedestal through the four (4) square holes in the inside floor of the center
newspaper holder, through the four (4) center square holes in top of the
spreader, and through the four (4) tapped holes on the top plate of the
pedestal. Insert a Phillips head screw driver through each square hole
directly above, and in the top of the newspaper holder, to tighten the pan
head bolts.
All hardware to attach the remaining two newspaper holders to the spreader
is included with the spreader. To attach an additional newspaper holder,
install four (4) 5/16”-18 x 1-3/4” long carriage bolts through the four (4)
square holes in the inside floor of the newspaper holder 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 remaining
newspaper holder.
Mailbox Installation to Newspaper Holders
All hardware to attach the mailboxes to the newspaper holders is included
with the newspaper holders. To attach a mailbox to a newspaper holder,
install four (4) 5/16”-18 X 3/4” long carriage bolts into (4) square holes in the
floor of the mailbox and through the four (4) square holes on the top of the
newspaper holder. Install 5/16” flat washers and 5/16”-18 hex nuts on the
ends of the four (4) bolts protruding below the top of the newspaper holder.
Cover the hex nuts with cap plugs. Repeat these steps for the other
mailboxes. Installation is now complete. Additional hardware provided is not
needed and may be discarded.
