Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit a standard A4 envelope?

This letter plate is specifically sized for A5 documents. A4 envelopes may require folding to pass through.

Can I install this on a composite door?

This product is designed for timber front doors. Installation on composite materials may vary and is not recommended without consulting the door manufacturer.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

The polished brass finish is suitable for exterior use, but like all brass hardware, it may require regular cleaning to prevent tarnishing over time.

Are the fixing bolts hidden?

The bolt-through design provides a clean look on the exterior, with fixings secured from the inside of the door.

Does it come with an interior tidy/cowl?

This product is the external plate. An interior letter tidy can be purchased separately if you wish to cover the internal hole.

Troubleshooting

Flap does not close completely

Check for debris caught in the hinge mechanism and ensure the plate is mounted level to prevent tension bias.

Loose fit on the door

Verify that the bolt-through screws are tightened securely and that the holes drilled through the door are not oversized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds immediate traditional visual appeal to wooden doors
  • Sprung flap prevents drafts and debris entry
  • High-quality polished brass finish
  • Durable bolt-through installation is highly secure
  • Includes all required hardware for installation

Cons

  • Not suitable for large parcels or A4 envelopes
  • Polished brass may require occasional maintenance to prevent tarnishing
  • Requires drilling through the door for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires measuring your existing door aperture or creating a new one to match the plate's dimensions. Because this is a bolt-through fixture, you will need to drill holes through your timber door to align with the fixing points on the back of the plate. Ensure that your door thickness is compatible with the provided bolts before beginning. For ongoing care, clean the surface periodically with a non-abrasive polish designed for brass to maintain the high-shine finish and prevent water spotting. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective lacquer from the brass.
