Rear Loading Unit Installation Instructions
Rough Opening
Height: See chart on page 6.
Width: To establish the size of the rough opening(s) in the wall(s) you
will be installing your mailbox configuration(s) into, calculate the overall
width of the total amount of units per wall installation; then subtract 3/4”
from the width grand total.
Example: (2) double-colum mailboxes are to be installed.
• Each unit is 31-1/8” wide x 2 units = 62-1/4”
• 62-1/4” - 3/4” = 61-1/2” required for rough opening.
STEP 1
Place the first unit into the rough opening (see figure 1). Open the master door panel(s) (see figures A-C below).
