Americana Mailbox Instructions
1. The mailboxes are to be recessed in a typical wall that is framed
with 2” x 4” wall studs. Allowing approximately 24” for the width of
each mailbox column and any amount of desired space on each side
of the installation, frame out the perimeter of the wall and secure to
the floor. A platform 10”H x 16”D should be constructed for the base
of the installation and joined with the wall frame. Allowing at least a
53”H opening from the platform, position studs 24” on center leaving
a 22-1/2”W opening for each column of mailboxes to be installed.
(Note: Front loading units MUST be installed between wall studs.)
Add additional studs where needed for drywall support. Finish the
wall and center studs with drywall so all front view surfaces are on
the same plane.
2. The units will be secured to the studs positioned 24” on center.
On the front of the unit, drill four evenly spaced holes through the
flange on each side of the unit. Place the first unit on the platform
and secure it to the studs using 2” wood screws. Place the second
unit on top of the first and secure the same way.
3. If necessary, fasten the lower unit to the platform by drilling two
holes through the bottom of the back of the unit and secure with 2”
wood screws. Likewise, fasten the top module to the bottom module
using sheet metal screws.
4. The installation of the trim at the front of the modules, which is
optional, is the last step in the installation process. There is enough
trim in each kit for three (3) mailbox columns. Fasten the clips to the
wall using 1” wood screws around the perimeter of the boxes and
between the columns. The trim should overlap the seam of the
module and drywall. After measuring the length of the seam to be
covered, cut the trim to size, mitering the corners at a 45º angle and
clip on.
