Letterboxes, Mail Slots and Door Letter Inputs

Letter inputs and mail slots provide a convenient way to receive mail without opening the door. Available in surface-mounted and integrated door styles, modern letterboxes include weather seals and security options to keep mail safe and reduce drafts.

Choosing the right mail input

Decide between a door-mounted slot, a wall-mounted box or an external post box depending on property layout. Look for features such as anti-fishing baffles, weatherproof flaps and internal cages to prevent theft and protect contents. Materials range from stainless steel to powder-coated options for longevity.

Installation and practical tips

• Door-mounted slots: require precise cutouts and good sealing to prevent draughts.
• Wall or letterbox units: useful when a secure external receptacle is preferred.
• Decorative fronts: choose a finish that complements door hardware.
• Security add-ons: internal cages and anti-fishing designs reduce risk.

Check for seasonal promotions or clearance models if replacing multiple inputs. Ensure measurements and mounting templates match your door or wall before cutting. Proper fitting and sealing maintain thermal efficiency and protect delivered items from weather and tampering.
