FAQs
Can I install this on a composite door?
Yes, provided the door thickness and current letter aperture match the dimensions specified for this model.
Are the internal dome nuts included?
Yes, the product is supplied with matching internal dome nuts for a professional, finished appearance.
How do I measure my door for this plate?
Measure the height and width of your existing aperture and the total thickness of the door to compare against the technical specifications.
Is the bronze finish prone to rusting?
Heritage Brass uses high-quality finishes, but like any metal hardware, it should be kept clean and dry to maintain its integrity.
Does this letterplate have a secondary internal flap?
This model is designed as a single external letterplate; it does not include a secondary internal draft-excluder brush.
Troubleshooting
The letterplate flap does not close flush
Check for obstructions or debris in the hinge mechanism and ensure the fixing nuts are not overtightened, which can distort the plate frame.
Excessive rattling sounds persist
Ensure that the mounting screws are tightened uniformly and verify that the door aperture is not significantly larger than the plate itself.
The bronze finish appears dull
Gently buff the surface with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to restore the luster. Avoid acidic cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the V850305AT involves aligning the plate with your existing aperture and securing it using the provided matching dome nuts. Before starting, verify the depth of your door to ensure the included fixings are compatible. For optimal longevity, wipe the letterplate periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface pollutants. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the elegant bronze finish. If the door is located in a highly exposed area, a light application of a non-abrasive wax can help protect the metal from the elements.
