Troubleshooting
Post box feels loose after mounting
Ensure all wall-mount fixings are tightened securely. If the wall material is soft, consider using more robust wall anchors appropriate for your wall type.
Mail not staying completely dry during heavy rain
While the curved lid aids drainage, for maximum protection, install the post box in a sheltered location, such as under an overhang or porch.
Difficulty opening or closing the front panel
Check for any obstructions in the opening mechanism. Ensure the post box is mounted straight and not under stress from uneven surfaces.
Keys are difficult to insert or turn
Ensure the correct key is being used and that it is fully inserted. Check the lock mechanism for any debris that might be obstructing it.
