Installing Newspaper Holder on 4890 Classic Mailbox
Post
Thank you for selecting Salsbury Industries classic mailbox post.
This instruction sheet is for installing the mailbox on a 4890 Salsbury classic
mailbox post with a newspaper holder. Other installation instructions are
available for installing the mailbox on a 4891 or 4892 classic mailbox post,
assembling the post, 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” 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.
