UNPACK THE 4C DEPOT
If you have purchased a 4C Depot free-standing cabinet with no 4C mailbox installed, go to
“APPENDIX A: INSTALLING 4C MAILBOX INTO DEPOT CABINET” on p. 12 for instructions to
install your 4C mailbox into the cabinet.
1 . Each 4C Depot, with 4C mailbox installed, will arrive packaged in a single cardboard carton
held together by banding.
2 . Cut the banding and carefully remove the packaging from the 4C Depot.
3 . A package containing the hardware needed to install the 4C cabinet is inside a
compartment near the bottom of the 4C mailbox unit (refer to “HARDWARE LIST” on p.
4).
4 . Ensure the leveling feet on the 4C Depot cabinet are adjusted up all the way.
5 . Carefully move the 4C Depot to the installation/staging area.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When accepting the shipment from the carrier, inspect, and
make note of, and/or photograph, any noticeable damage
that may have occurred during shipment. Report any
damage found to the freight company.
Be extremely careful not to scratch or damage the
finish on the unit when removing the packaging.
WARNING: 4C Depot with 4C mailbox installed
is heavy. Use two (2) or more people to move
cabinets. Use caution when lifting and carrying.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

PREPARATION AND INITIAL PLACEMENT
1 . Place the 4C cabinet in the desired installation location.
2 . Remove the lower-front panel from the cabinet.
• Use the #2 square-tip 1/4” hex-shank insert
driver bit supplied in the package of
hardware, placed into a cordless driver, to
remove the two (2) screws from the panel.
• Pull the panel out at the bottom and down
from behind the 4C mailbox trim.

3 . Remove and discard the plastic push-in rivets
which hold the two mounting brackets and two
skirt plates in place inside the lower
compartment of the 4C Depot cabinet.
4 . Remove the two mounting brackets and two
skirt plates from the cabinet, and set them aside
for later installation.
5 . Adjust the leveling bolts down with a 9/16”
wrench until the unit is level.
• You should only have to adjust 3 of the 4 leveling bolts. The leveling bolt that remains
unadjusted is the leveling bolt located in the highest spot on the concrete slab.
• A 2-ft level with a centered bubble across the top, sides, and front ensures the cabinet
is level and plumb. A failure to do this properly will likely cause problems with the 4C
mailbox operation.

6 . Tighten the jam nuts on all four (4) of the
leveling bolts with a 9/16” wrench to lock the
leveling bolts in their leveled position.
7 . Install the two (2) mounting brackets and two (2)
skirt plates back inside the lower compartment
of the 4C Depot cabinet. The skirt plates close
the gap beneath the leveled cabinet and the
concrete.
A. Rest the mounting brackets on the concrete
pad and position them directly against the
side panel structural tubes.
B. Position the skirt plates between the ends
of the mounting brackets and the front
and back of the cabinet, and pushed down
against the concrete pad.
• Be sure both skirt plates are in place
before drilling the holes in Step C, to
ensure that the mounting brackets are
positioned in proper alignment.
C. Use the 11/64” diameter drill bit (206729)
included in the hardware kit (refer to
“HARDWARE LIST” on p. 4) to drill
through six (6) holes in each mounting
bracket.
• Drill the six holes (one in each column of
holes) that best align with the side panel
structural tube in the side of the cabinet.
• The holes should only be drilled through
the tube wall which is directly against the
mounting bracket (approximately 1/4”
thick).

1/2” self-tapping Phillips-head screws
(206727).

ANCHOR THE 4C DEPOT TO CONCRETE
1 . With a hammer drill and 7/16” masonry bit, drill
holes through the anchor holes in each end of
the mounting brackets to a depth of 4 inches
into the concrete.
• If you successfully drill all four anchor holes
to full depth, go to Step 6.
• Otherwise, if you can’t apply enough
pressure on the drill to completely drill the
holes while positioned inside the cabinet,
just use the drill to mark the placement of
the holes on the concrete and proceed to
Step 2.
2 . Move the cabinet out of the way to reveal the
drill marks. Finish each hole in the concrete by
drilling to full depth.
3 . Move the cabinet back over the holes drilled
into the concrete.
• You only need to align one hole in one of
the mounting brackets with the appropriate
hole in the concrete.
4 . Install a single Tapcon® anchor bolt (206725)
with an impact driver and 3/4” socket, but do
not tighten all the way.
5 . Rotate/pivot the cabinet around the single
previously installed anchor until the rest of the
holes in the mounting brackets align with the
holes drilled in the concrete.
6 . Install Tapcon® anchor bolts (206725) into all of
the holes with an impact driver and 3/4” socket.
7 . Ensure all anchor bolts are tight.
