Installing Arm(s) on Deluxe Mailbox Posts
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s deluxe mailbox post. This instruction sheet is for assembling the 1-sided or 2-sided deluxe mailbox post. All hardware to

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 45from 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.
