Trim a zip code to 5 characters

This has to be an easy answer...I am just not seeing it or it is just a warm Friday and my brain is asleep.

I have a column of results with zip codes e.g.

94101 
94102
941031514
941321600

I want to cut out the last 4 characters (if they exist). So all the results are 5 characters only
