Pedestal Mounted Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Mailbox on a Pedestal
Thank you for selecting Sa
lsbury’s 4325D designer roadside mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing the 4325D mailbox on a
pedestal. Other installation instructions are available for installing the
mailbox on a deluxe mailbox post, installing the mailbox on
spreaders, mounting a newspaper holder, and mounting 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.
All hardware to install the mailbox is provided with the pedestal. To
install the mailbox, unlock and open the front or rear door of the
mailbox and install four (4) 5/16” - 18 x 2” long pan head bolts
through the four (4) square holes in the inside floor of the mailbox
and through the four (4) tapped holes on the top plate of the
pedestal. Installation is now complete.
Additional hardware provided is not needed and may be discarded.

Overview

The provided manual describes the Salsbury Industries 4325D Designer Roadside Mailbox, a U.S.P.S. approved mailbox designed for various mounting configurations.

Function Description

The Salsbury 4325D Designer Roadside Mailbox serves as a secure and U.S.P.S. approved receptacle for mail delivery. It is designed for installation in multiple configurations, including:

  • Pedestal Mounted: The mailbox is directly attached to a pedestal, which can be either in-ground mounted (set in concrete) or bolt-mounted to a cured concrete footing.
  • Wall or Column Mounted: The mailbox is recessed into a wall or column, requiring a rough opening approximately 1/2" larger than the unit's outside dimensions.
  • Deluxe Mailbox Post Mounted: The mailbox is attached to a Salsbury deluxe mailbox post, which can support one, two, three, or four mailboxes depending on the model (4370, 4372, 4373, 4374). These posts are typically in-ground mounted in concrete.
  • Spreader Mounted: Multiple mailboxes (2-wide, 3-wide, or 4-wide) can be mounted on a spreader, which is then attached to a pedestal.
  • Newspaper Holder Combinations: Newspaper holders (4315D) can be integrated into most mounting configurations, allowing for separate delivery of newspapers. This includes mounting a single mailbox with a newspaper holder on a pedestal, or multiple mailboxes with corresponding newspaper holders on a spreader and pedestal.

The mailbox features a lockable door for mail entry, ensuring security. It is designed to be easily accessible to mail carriers, adhering to specific regulatory guidelines regarding height and setback from the road edge.

Usage Features

Accessibility: The primary usage feature is easy accessibility for the mail carrier, adhering to U.S.P.S. regulations regarding height and setback. Security: The mailbox is lockable, providing security for delivered mail. However, mail carriers are not responsible for opening or locking mailboxes, nor do they accept keys for this purpose. Versatile Mounting: The system offers extensive flexibility in installation, allowing for single or multiple mailboxes, with or without newspaper holders, on various types of posts or directly into structures. Modular Design: The availability of different post models (4370, 4372, 4373, 4374) and spreaders (2-wide, 3-wide, 4-wide) allows for customization based on the number of mailboxes required. Newspaper Delivery: Optional newspaper holders provide a dedicated space for newspaper delivery, keeping them separate from mail. Aesthetic Integration: The "Designer Roadside Mailbox" branding suggests an emphasis on aesthetics, allowing the mailbox to complement various roadside or architectural styles.

Maintenance Features

Hardware Provided: All necessary hardware for assembling the mailbox to its specific mounting component (pedestal, post arm, spreader, newspaper holder) is included with the respective component. This simplifies initial installation. Discarded Hardware: Additional hardware provided that is not needed for a specific configuration should be discarded, indicating a streamlined installation process. Professional Installation Advised: The manual consistently advises consulting a professional installer, especially for concrete footings and ensuring proper alignment, to ensure long-term stability and correct installation. Durability Considerations: For in-ground installations, extending the concrete footing below the local frost line is crucial to prevent movement due to ground freezing and thawing, contributing to the long-term stability of the installation. A gravel layer at the bottom of the footing promotes drainage, further enhancing durability. Regular Alignment Checks: For in-ground concrete installations, periodically checking the vertical alignment of the pedestal or post as the concrete cures is recommended to ensure a straight and stable installation. Construction Method Adaptability: For wall or column mounting, fastening hardware is not included, allowing the installer to choose fasteners appropriate for the specific construction method, which implies adaptability to various building materials and potential ease of replacement if needed.
