Has anyone had problems with the collars NOT fitting over the 4X4 post?

The collars are supposed to fit tight to prevent the mailbox from wobbling. I used a small wood block and hammer to ease the collar into place on my "slightly out of square" 4x4.

Yes. We had problems too. There is a front bar and a back bar. They are sized differently. Make sure you use the right ones in the right places.

If loosening the collars did not work. I would contact Bikehand and ask if there is something else you can do. Mine was good to go right out of the box. Maybe you can just return to Amazon for a different one. Sounds like it's just bent. Sorry those are the only answers I have.

I've bought both the black & white ones, but re:the black, it showed a pic of the right collar. I guess take your chances? :)

They just fit right over the top of the post and depending on the quality of your post, you may need to file it a bit. Ours were snug, but they come with two screws that you can use to further secure them if necessary.

I have two collars and yes they fit and work perfectly, I have been using them for over a year now with no problems

They are big enough to fit over standard 4 x 4 post and I think there were 2 holes on the sides. But if not, I drilled the holes. It is plastic so it was easy. We have had them for 3 years and work great if you get enough sun!!

Not exactly. You'd have to cut or file the post down for it to fit. We put them on top of 4" x 4"s and we had to sand/file them in places where the wood wasn't exactly 4" x 4"

Yes they can go over a 4x4. Some of them may be a little tight and need a rubber hammer. They are pretty sturdy. I used 2 inch screws to attach to my deck I have as much as 10 ft between posts.

Yes I have several studs that I have hung, they fit just fine but the backings are usually at the very end of the post in order to fit.

this has happened to me 4 times and I kept buying new collars. finally a few weeks ago, I called the customer service number and asked if I could buy a couple and they sent them to me free of charge. the customer service agent was very helpful and pleasant.

Sorry, I had to send mine back because the parts were not correct and the holes would not line up. Good luck.

I have not seen replacement collars. As suggested below directly call the manufacture. Another suggestion would be to contact some local Gung Fu Schools. There was a group of students at my first school that made them there, and I've run across other school that also do this.

Charlene, I just saw this today. I apologize for the delay. If you don't mind waiting another day, I will check tonight to see how small these collars can be adjusted, and I will let you know. I am still at work right now. My dogs are considerably bigger than a min pin and the adjustment is as large as it goes. I will let you know how small it will go.

They have a lip that screws it in place, only thing is that they don't fit snug on 4x4 post. You need to place shims on three sides for firm fit. Also I wouldn't recommend this set of lights as only one of the 4 worked for a short time. Replaced batteries and still didn't work. They look nice but that's all.

Yes, they will. I have them on 4x4 fence posts. I did have to take off the bottom stand, which was not a problem. I also put them on railroad tie posts at several gates. They are working fine.

I find it very easy to snug the collars after a set. The effort is trivial compared to the exercise you're doing. The best part about these bars is that it's easy to change the weights--no wrench required--and the collars will not slip off during an exercise.
