Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select a suitable mounting location on a flat, sturdy surface such as a brick wall, wooden fence, gate, or garage door.
- Use the pre-drilled holes on the back of the post box as a template to mark the mounting points on your chosen surface.
- Drill appropriate holes for your mounting surface (e.g., using wall plugs for brick, pilot holes for wood).
- Secure the post box to the surface using suitable screws (not included).
Compatibility:
This mailbox is designed for wall mounting only. It is compatible with most standard mail deliveries, including letters, A4 documents, magazines, and small padded envelopes. It is not designed for oversized packages or newspapers.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and integrity of the post box:
- Clean regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder coating.
- Periodically check the hinges and lock mechanism for smooth operation. A light application of a silicone-based lubricant can help.
- In areas with heavy salt exposure or extreme weather, an occasional wipe-down with a mild soap solution can help prevent corrosion.
