3.2. Installation Steps

1. Select Location: Choose a suitable location on your door, wall, or fence where the mailbox system can be securely mounted and easily accessed. Ensure there is sufficient space on both the exterior and interior sides.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Position the external letter panel and the internal mailbox against the chosen surface. The rear holes on both components are pre-drilled. Use a pencil to mark the drilling points for both the letter panel and the mailbox, ensuring they align correctly for the mail slot to pass through.

4. Operation

The ARREGUI V4034 mailbox system is designed for simple and secure mail handling.

• Mail Insertion: Mail is inserted from the outside through the letter slot located on the external letter panel. The design ensures that mail drops directly into the internal mailbox.
• Mail Retrieval: To retrieve mail, open the door of the internal mailbox using one of the provided keys. The mailbox is designed for rear access, meaning mail is collected from the inside of your property.
• Security: The internal mailbox is equipped with a lock to secure your mail. Always ensure the mailbox door is properly closed and locked after retrieving mail.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ARREGUI V4034 mailbox system, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the galvanized steel finish.
• Lubrication: If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the mounting screws and the overall structure for any signs of loosening or damage. Tighten screws as needed. Check the letter slot flap for smooth operation.
• Corrosion: While galvanized steel is highly corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions can eventually affect the finish. Address any minor rust spots promptly with appropriate rust treatment products designed for galvanized metals.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ARREGUI V4034 mailbox system, consider the following:

• Difficulty Inserting Mail: Ensure the letter slot flap is not obstructed. Check if the internal mailbox is full.
• Stiff Lock: Apply graphite lubricant to the keyhole as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
• Loose Components: Check all mounting screws and tighten them if necessary. If components feel wobbly, re-evaluate the installation and ensure proper anchoring to the surface.
• Water Inside Mailbox: Verify that the letter panel and mailbox are correctly installed and sealed against the mounting surface to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the mailbox structure that could allow water entry.
