Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Modena mailbox is straightforward using the included mounting materials. Follow these steps to ensure a secure fit:
- Select Location: Choose a spot that is accessible to the post carrier but shielded from direct rain and wind.
- Use the Spacer: Always utilize the provided spacer during wall mounting to create a gap between the metal and the masonry; this protects the box from condensation and wall unevenness.
- Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the box is perfectly straight before fully tightening the mounting screws.
- Maintenance: Periodically wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Check the lock periodically to ensure it remains smooth; applying a small amount of dry lubricant can maintain the locking mechanism over many years.
- Compatibility: The unit is compatible with standard wall surfaces and can be fitted to BURG-WÄCHTER-compatible free-standing stands for driveway or fence-line installations.
