This model is specifically designed for 44mm to 70mm wooden and composite doors; please check your door manufacturer's specifications before installation.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, each unit includes a 5-year guarantee provided by UAP Limited.

What is the benefit of the anti-key fishing feature?

It restricts the flap opening to 37 degrees, which makes it nearly impossible for someone to reach through and fish for keys or valuables left near the door.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, the product comes with all necessary fixings for a standard installation, though basic DIY skills and tools are required.

Is it weather-resistant?

Yes, it is constructed from stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to the elements and is suitable for various environments.

Troubleshooting

Flap does not close fully

Check the hinge pins for debris or obstructions; ensure the door thickness is within the 44-70mm specified range to prevent frame pressure.

Loose letterplate unit

Verify that the internal fixing bolts are tightened correctly and that the washers are properly seated against the internal door face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The letterplate is designed to fit wooden and composite doors between 44mm and 70mm thick. Installation is straightforward as the unit includes all necessary fixings to secure it from the inside, maintaining the clean exterior profile.

To ensure the longevity of the finish and mechanism:

  1. Periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove salt or grit, especially in coastal areas.
  2. Ensure the fixing bolts are tightened evenly to prevent bowing.
  3. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can damage the protective stainless steel coating.
  4. Check the spring tension annually to ensure the flap closes fully and securely.
