MAIL BOSS
LOCKING SECURITY MAILBOXES
Congratulations on the purchase of your Mail Boss ® steel post. This post is constructed of tough 14 gauge galvanized powder coated
steel and will mate perfectly with your Mail Boss ® mailbox. Included with the Mail Boss ® post are four 12 mm bolts for attachment to your Mail Boss ®
mailbox. There are a couple of scenarios where we suggest you deviate from the instructions below. If you live in a very cold climate and/or you use
a spreader plate to mount multiple mailboxes, we recommend inserting a treated 4 x 4 piece of lumber inside your post. You can secure it with lag
bolts or screws on two sides of the post. This will allow you to bury the post much deeper and make it more rigid. In extremely cold climates we
suggest you dig at least 3.5 feet deep. For even more stability you can drive lengths of rebar at an angle down and out from the hole before pouring
the concrete. **Always check with your local utility companies before digging.**
Instructions listed below are only guidelines: customers should contact the local post o ce before installing the mailbox to insure its
correct placement and height at the street. USPS requires mailboxes to be installed at a height of 41- 45 inches from the road surface to the base
of the incoming mail slot, and are set back 6 - 8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.

**Always check with your local utility companies before digging.**

OPTIONAL: If you plan to mount multiple mailboxes
on a single post, or wish to add maximum strength and
stability you may choose to add an additional wood
post (see page 2 for details.) You may also choose to
insert re-bar angled outward into the soil surrounding
the post (A), and/or you may add up to six 6 mm x 1.00
coarse bolts (not included) protruding out of the post to
further anchor the post to the concrete. (B)
