Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4855E eagle rural mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing 4855E eagle rural mailboxes on a 2-
wide spreader with 4815E eagle newspaper holders and a modern
decorative mailbox post. A different instruction sheet is available for
installing 4855E eagle rural mailboxes on a 3-wide spreader with 4815E
eagle newspaper holders and a modern decorative mailbox post. Other
installation instructions are available for installing the mailboxes and
spreaders with newspaper holders on a standard mailbox post, mounting a
single mailbox on a decorative or standard mailbox post, mounting a single
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” 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.
