## Questions & Answers

**Q: My door is 30mm thick.  Will this letterbox fit?**
A: No! I hope you didn’t buy/try this. It will not. 30mm is well under the min thickness of 38mm that it states it needs.  Read the information carefully so you don’t waste time and money.

A: Hi yes it detaches into front and back

**Q: What are the aperture dimensions?**
A: Maximum 'usable' aperture 10" by 1.5" - 254mm X 38mm

**Q: The aperture of my existing wooden door (44mm thick) is approximately 200 x 60mm.  Will this item fit, provided I make the hole a bit bigger?**
A: My own door aperture was 260 x 40 x 40 and the overall plate dimension is 310 x 80 something not certain of you will get as good weather seal!

    Quality ... bargain.

Very good quality, relatively easy to fit, looks superb and totally eliminates letter box draughts and rattles. Absolutely recommend.

    Great quality
  

*by N***3 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2023*

After the cheap plastic one failed,  I decided to try to buy a more durable solution.This one seems and feels very good quality, it is definitely stronger than the previous plastic one.It was easy to fit and I am not great with DIY.It does look great.I hope it will last.One thing to note, the spring is very strong so would imagine the postmen don’t like it very much. If that worries you than you might want something different.

    Appears to be good quality
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2023*

Bought to replace old letter box which had gone very pitted with the weather. It was easy to install self explanatory and I took note of taking old one out, No instructions but worked it out. Looks much nicer than the old one and I hope it will last for years. More expensive than I thought to replace, but hopefully the quality will make up for the cost and it will keep looking good for a number of years.
