Enjoy.I JUST PLACED AN ORDER, WHEN WILL IT SHIP? Open the lid of the mailbox the flag rod should slide smoothly under the brace/latch to the end: the flag will snap into the upright position, and presto! You will now know when the mailbox has been opened. This breaks easily, and allows the spring to fully flex. The first time you bend the spring over, it will be stiff from the paint on it the turns will be "glued together" by the paint. Screw the finished flag back onto it's base on the bracket, then holding the bottom of the spring, SLOWLY bend the spring over and hook the flag rod underneath the brace on the lid.
#Step 2 mailbox install
Using machine screws, nuts and washers, install the corner bracket to the mailbox. drill two holes through the holes in the bracket into the mailbox. Placing the bracket at the reference mark. This where the bottom of the corner bracket will be at. Then, measure back 10 1/2" from the lid toward the rear of the box, and up 4 1/2" from the bottom of the mailbox and make a reference mark. Using a machine screw, nut and washers, mount the brace to the lid. Drill a hole into the lid through one of the slots in the brace. On the lid of the mailbox, place the mending brace up 5 1/2" up from the bottom left corner of the lid itself. You can install this however you wish, but I installed mine to be visible above the mailbox by a fair amount. Screw the spring portion back on to the base, and the indicator flag is ready to install. Wrap the rubber cap, and about 1" of the top of the spring with electrical tape to make sure the rod stays put. Then thread the wire nut on to the top of the rod. Wrap a couple turns of electrical tape on the rod below the flag to hold it in place. Thread the flag onto the aluminum rod from the top. The flag I used had a very cheap (the whole thing cost 79 cents) plastic mast, that snapped when I tried to push it through the rubber spring cap, hence, the aluminum rod mast, so remove it from the plastic one. Push the rod up inside the spring until it stops. Next, wrap the bottom of the rod with electrical tape, to prevent the rod from being thrown out of the spring when it snaps upright.
Puncture it with an awl, screw, or other sharp object, then push the aluminum rod through the hole, most of the way through. The spring portion has a rubber cap on top. Using a machine screw, flat washers and nylock nuts (or regular and lock washers), mount the door stop base, flat side up, with the appropriate screw driver, to the corner bracket using the inside hole. The corner bracket has two holes in each side. Next, separate the spring part of the door stop from it's base (it literally threads on to the base), and remove the supplied wood screw (throw it into your screw box or coffee can to save it for a rainy day!). If not already 12", cut the aluminum rod with with a hacksaw, Dremel tool, etc. Patriotic and practical, all rolled in to one! Want to save a few steps (and a few bucks)? Give this a try, you'll be glad you did. Door stays closed, flag stays down, door is opened, and Old Glory flies in the breeze. Not bad! In my version, I used an American flag use what you wish. Even with all new parts (some I already had), this project should cost near, or even under, $10. I wanted a thrifty solution that would would tell us if the mailbox had been opened (by anyone) or not. We've all made trips to the mailbox to check for mail, in all kinds of weather, only to come back empty-handed. So, one might think that they weren't getting mail that day, not check it, actually have important paperwork there, and have it ruined by rain, or have it stolen. However, only letter size envelopes and cards are scanned and listed news papers, manilla envelopes, fliers, etc. This a good thing, as it lets you know that you're getting mail that day. The USPS (United States Postal Service) offers Informed Delivery emails when the patron is receiving mail.
