Installing Newspaper Holders on Classic Mailbox
Posts
Thank you for selecting Salsbury Industries classic mailbox post.
This instruction sheet is for installing the mailbox(es) on a Salsbury 4891 or
4892 classic mailbox post with a newspaper holder(s). Other installation
instructions are available for installing the mailbox on a 4890 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.
Newspaper Holder Installation to Classic Post
Installation of newspaper holders to each classic mailbox post, 4891 one-
sided, or 4892 two-sided, is the same. Attach one newspaper holder to the
4891 one-sided post. Attach one additional newspaper holder to the 4892
two-sided post. All hardware required to assemble the newspaper holders(s)
to the classic mailbox post is included with the mounting arm. To attach a
newspaper holder to the post, install four (4) 5/16”-18 x 1-3/4” long carriage
bolts through the four (4) square holes shown in the inside floor of the
newspaper holder and through the corresponding holes in top of the
mounting arm. 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 mounting arm.
Repeat these steps for the other newspaper holder.
