Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this letter plate be used on uPVC or composite doors?

This product is specifically designed for timber doors. Installation on uPVC or composite doors may be difficult due to internal reinforcement structures.

What size mail can it handle?

The plate is specifically sized to accommodate A5 documents and standard-sized envelopes.

Does the product include the screws needed for fitting?

Yes, the Timco Victorian Letter Plate comes with all necessary bolt-through fixings required for standard installation.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, it is designed for both internal and external use with a finish that offers superior resistance to the elements.

How do I maintain the satin chrome finish?

Regularly clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface coating.

Troubleshooting

The flap feels loose or doesn't close completely

Check that the spring tension is not obstructed by debris and ensure the fixing bolts are tightened evenly to prevent frame distortion.

Drafts are coming through the letter plate

Verify that the flap is correctly aligned within the frame and that the hinge is not bent; if installed on an exterior-facing door, ensure the flap is closing flush against the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality finish that resists environmental wear
  • Easy-to-use sprung flap mechanism
  • Accommodates standard A5 postal items comfortably
  • Includes all required hardware for installation
  • Timeless design fits various architectural styles

Cons

  • Requires bolt-through holes which may not suit all existing door preparations
  • Primarily designed for timber doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is achieved through a bolt-through fixing method, which requires drilling clean holes through the timber door. Always measure your door thickness to ensure the provided bolts are the correct length. To maintain the finish, wipe the plate periodically with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals or metallic scouring pads that could scratch the satin chrome surface. Ensure the moving parts remain clear of debris to maintain smooth operation.
