The Auth-Florence 4C Horizontal Mailbox Model Suite A: About the Product
With an unwavering dedication to mail security, the United States Postal Service enacted standard revision 4C to enhance the resistance of centralized mailbox units to tampering and vandalism. The need for the new standard also arose from a 47% increase in flat mail and a 42% increase in parcels since 1985. This massive increase is largely attributed to growing consumer purchases from the Internet.

The primary change resulting from the standard 4C revision is in tenant mailbox size. While not universal, most vertical mailboxes are approximately 16 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 6 inches deep. These dimensions suit regular letters and post cards without a problem, but flat packages and periodicals must be contorted to fit within these inhibitive dimensions. 4C compliant mailboxes will measure exactly 3 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 15 inches deep, allowing periodicals and flats to lie down without rolling or folding, and increasing security with the smaller door size.

Remarkably, despite the sweeping change and the heightened service levels this revision creates, a survey provided by F.W. Dodge, the nation's largest source of building plans, specifications and analysis data, suggests that over 70% of buildings have already or can easily accommodate the 4C revision. About 20% of buildings would require minor changes, and less than 10% would require more than minor changes.
