2. Practice opening and closing the adoorn box to ensure proper spacing and functionality.
3. You will need to buy non-rusting M10 lag bolts, M10 washers and M10 gasket washers- adoorn does NOT include these with the product.
4. Open your adoorn box and mark 4qty anchor holes on wood decking through bottom of adoorn box floor. It is recommended to use chalk or permanent marker, so it is clearly visible when you remove the adoorn box from its position.
5. Remove the adoorn box, revealing the locations of the 4qty anchor holes.
6. Drill the 4qty 5/16” pilot holes for the anchor holes, keeping the drill plumb and level, ensuring straight anchor holes.
7. Clear away any sawdust/debris to ensure a clean area for positioning your adoorn box.
8. Place the adoorn box back into position, aligning the drilled holes & the 4 holes in the bottom of the adoorn.
9. Slide one M10 washer over the M10 lag bolt, and then slide one M10 gasket washer over the lag bolt.
10. Place the M10 lag bolts through the bottom of the adoorn floor, lining up with the pre-drilled holes, and screw into the decking.

SECURING TO CONCRETE

These anchoring instructions are for securing your adoorn Modern Mailbox or Modern Package Box to concrete.

Hardware Included by adoorn:

• 4pcs M12 x 3"L wedge anchor bolts (Concrete).
• 4pcs M12 gasket washers.

Step-by-Step process:

1. Locate the position for your adoorn Modern Mailbox or Modern Package Box ("adoorn box").
2. Practice opening and closing the adoorn box to ensure proper spacing and functionality.
3. Hardware Needed: 4pcs M12 x 3”L wedge anchor bolts (Concrete), 4pcs M12 gasket washers.
4. Assemble 4pcs Feet to adoorn box. This keeps the box off the ground and away from standing water. If you choose to skip this step and have the box lay flat on the ground, please know that water may enter the box from the bottom.
5. Open your adoorn box and mark 4qty anchor holes on concrete through bottom of adoorn box floor. It is recommended to use chalk or permanent marker, so it is clearly visible when you remove the adoorn box from its position.
6. Remove the adoorn box, revealing the locations of the 4qty anchor holes.
7. Use a 12mm masonry drill bit. You will be drilling 1 3/4” deep holes in the concrete. To ensure the proper depth, it is advisable to measure off 1 3/4” from the tip of the masonry drill bit. Mark the 1 3/4” depth with a piece of blue painter’s tape or masking tape, ensuring that there is 1 3/4” visible from the tip of the drill bit to the edge of the tape. IMPORTANT: Do NOT drill deeper than 1 3/4”, otherwise, the Anchor Bolts may go too deep into the hole and cannot be tightened with washers and nuts after the feet are assembled.
8. Drill the 4qty anchor holes, keeping the drill plumb and level, ensuring straight anchor holes.
9. Clear away any dust/debris to ensure a clean area for positioning your adoorn box.
10. Remove the washers and nuts from the M12 wedge anchor bolts and place the M12 wedge anchor bolts into the anchor holes. Gently hammer the anchor bolts into the drilled anchor holes, leaving the threaded part of the anchor bolts exposed.
11. Screw the nut 2-3 rotations onto the threaded part. This will help the anchors to expand within the holes to ensure a strong grip within the concrete. REMOVE the nuts.
12. Place the adoorn box in position, ensuring all 4qty anchor bolts are properly aligned and “seated” up through the adoorn box.
13. Attach first with M12 washers, and then tighten the nuts inside the adoorn box. The anchors expand within the holes to ensure a strong grip within the concrete.
