Product Information
Full details
The Coopers of Stortford Letterbox Cage is an ideal solution for homeowners seeking to keep their mail organized and off the floor, particularly for those with limited mobility who struggle with bending down. While it provides excellent protection against inquisitive pets and conceals incoming mail from outside view, it is important to note that it requires drilling into your door for installation.

FAQs
Can I install this on a PVC door?
Yes, but ensure you use appropriate drill bits for PVC and avoid hitting internal door mechanisms.
Will this stop my dog from jumping at the post?
While it prevents the dog from reaching the mail, it acts as a physical barrier; it does not replace behavioral training for pets.
What are the exact dimensions?
The cage measures 35cm high, 30cm wide, and 14cm deep.
Does it come in other colors?
This specific model comes in a black finish.
Is the lid removable?
The lid is designed as a flip-up access point and is meant to remain attached for regular use.
Can I use double-sided tape instead of screws?
No, the weight of the cage and the potential weight of the mail require the structural stability provided by the supplied screws.
Troubleshooting
The lid does not flip up fully
Check if the cage is mounted too close to a door handle or wall obstacle. Reposition slightly lower if possible.
The screws feel loose in the door
If the door material is thin or degraded, consider using slightly larger wood screws or mounting plugs to ensure a tighter fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces the need to bend down to collect mail
- Provides a protective barrier against pets
- Keeps mail hidden from external view for improved security
- Sturdy wire construction ensures long-term durability
- Convenient top-loading access
Cons
- Requires drilling holes into the door for installation
- Not suitable for doors where space is extremely limited
- May not fit over oversized or non-standard letterbox flaps
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, position the cage over your existing interior letterbox opening. Ensure it is placed at a height that allows the lid to flip up fully without hitting door handles or other obstructions. Mark the two screw holes, drill pilot holes if necessary, and secure the unit using the supplied screws.
Compatibility: This unit measures H35cm x W30cm x D14cm. Please measure your letterbox area to ensure the unit fits comfortably against your door's frame or surface.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the wire structure occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust. If the hinges become stiff over time, a light application of silicone-based lubricant can ensure the flip-up lid remains easy to operate.
