The Heritage Brass Embossed Letterplate is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to add a touch of Victorian-era elegance to their front door. It is designed for those who appreciate traditional aesthetics paired with reliable hardware functionality, featuring a prominent 'Letters' script and a durable polished brass finish. While this letter plate offers a refined look and a secure sprung mechanism to prevent rattling, users should note that the polished finish requires regular maintenance to prevent tarnishing in harsh weather conditions.

This product consists of the front plate with the embossed flap. It includes the fixing hardware necessary to attach the plate securely to your door.
Yes, but ensure the flap orientation allows for gravity and the spring mechanism to keep it closed against the door face.
The aperture, or the opening where mail passes through, measures 17.2 cm x 4.6 cm.
They serve both as a fastener to secure the bolts and as a decorative cover to hide the bolt ends for a tidy interior appearance.
Heritage Brass products typically use high-quality base materials finished to provide a durable polished brass surface.
Check the tension of the internal spring mechanism. If the spring has slipped, re-seat it within the hinge housing or ensure the mounting bolts are tightened securely to the door face.
This is likely tarnish due to environmental exposure. Clean with a soft, non-abrasive brass polish to restore luster.
The included bolts can be carefully trimmed using a hacksaw to fit the specific thickness of your door. Ensure you file the cut end smooth before installing the dome nut.
Installation is straightforward as the unit includes two threaded bolts and matching dome nuts that hide the fastener heads for a clean look. Before purchasing, verify that your door cutout aligns with the 254mm x 101mm footprint of the plate. To care for the polished brass, avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the finish. Simply use a damp cloth followed by a soft, dry cloth to buff the surface. If the brass begins to oxidize, a specialized metal polish safe for lacquered or polished brass may be used sparingly.
