Installation
CAUTION: Be sure frames are installed absolutely square.
a. Receptacles and voluntary parcel lockers in apartment houses should
be located at points reasonably near the entrance in vestibules, halls, or
lobbies. The carriers must be able to serve the boxes without interference
from swinging or opening doors. The area must be adequately lighted so as
to afford the best protection to the mail and enable carriers to read addresses
on mail and names on boxes without undue strain on their eyes.
b. Installation of standard, approved apartment receptacles in exterior walls
of building may be authorized provided they are not installed directly on
the street or public sidewalk. Wherever possible at least 15 feet should be
kept between the boxes and the street or sidewalk, and the location should
be clearly visible from one or more apartment windows. A canopy must be provided,
designed and located to afford maximum protection from the weather, including
driving rains. In addition, adequate night lighting must be installed.
c. In vertical-type installations:
(1) Receptacles must be placed so that the enter of the barrel of the master
lock of the upper tier will be no more than 58" from the floor. The center
of the barrel of the master lock of the lower tier of letter boxes will be
no less than 30" from the floor.
(2) No more than two tiers may be installed. Boxes must be arranged in groups.
The maximum number of boxes in each group, installed under one Arrow lock,
is seven. Where the number of apartments is less than seven or where telephone
units are installed with the boxes, less than seven may be grouped, but never
less than three.
