The room must be adequately ventilated and lighted. The rear of the unit must have a suitable material to prevent the removal of mail from adjacent boxes and to prevent mail from falling out the back. This cover must be securely fastened and easily opened by the carrier."

MASTER DOOR LOCK

Front Loading Models:

Each group of front-loading receptacles must be equipped with a master door which, when open, makes the entire group of boxes accessible for the deposit of mail by the carrier. The master door shall be machined to accommodate an inside Arrow lock furnished by the local Postmaster for use so long as mail is delivered by letter carriers, the key for which shall be in the custody of postal employees. Master doors for horizontal type receptacles shall be hinged on the side only and shall be no wider than 34 inches.

The cover must be securely fastened and easily opened by the carrier." 

NUMBERING OR LETTERING

"Horizontal type receptacles must be numbered or lettered in sequence from top to bottom..."

DIRECTORIES

"In all apartment houses having 15 or more receptacles, a complete directory of all persons receiving mail must be maintained. When an apartment house is divided into units with separate entrances and 15 or more receptacles are installed to the unit, a separate directory must be provided for each unit. In addition, if mail is not generally addressed to specific units, a directory must be kept at the main unit of the building listing all persons receiving mail in the various units. The directory must be of legible type, in a suitable frame for protection purpose, and attached to the wall immediately above or to the side of the mail receptacles where it can be easily read..."
