FAQs
What material is the Loops Curved Letterbox Cover made from?
The cover is finished in polished brass.
What are the dimensions of the cover?
The dimensions are 355mm in width and 127mm in height.
Is this letterbox cover suitable for exterior use?
This cover is designed as an interior letter tidy flap. While durable, prolonged exterior exposure may affect the finish.
Does it come with screws for installation?
Screws for installation are typically not included and should be sourced separately based on your door material and thickness.
How does this help with drafts?
The flap is designed to close against the door, creating a barrier that helps prevent air from passing through the letterbox slot.
Can I use this on any door?
It is suitable for most standard interior doors with appropriate letterbox openings. Very thick doors or non-standard openings may require alternative solutions.
How often should I clean the polished brass?
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. For maintaining shine, a brass polish can be used periodically as needed.
Troubleshooting
Drafts are still noticeable.
Check that the flap is aligned correctly and seals tightly against the door. Ensure there are no gaps around the edges of the cover. Re-secure the cover if it appears loose.
Letter flap is stiff or doesn't swing freely.
Inspect the flap mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure screws are not overtightened, restricting movement. Gently adjust the flap's position if necessary.
The cover does not fit the letterbox opening properly.
Verify the dimensions of your letterbox opening and compare them to the product's dimensions (355mm x 127mm). If significantly different, this product may not be suitable. Ensure you are measuring the interior opening.
Polished brass finish appears dull or tarnished.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Use a brass-specific metal polish for restoration, following the polish manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the door is clean and dry before installation. Position the letterbox cover over the existing letterbox opening on the interior side of the door. Secure it using appropriate screws (not included) through the pre-drilled holes or by using a strong adhesive suitable for metal and wood surfaces. For optimal draft reduction, ensure the flap swings freely but seals snugly against the door when closed.
Compatibility: This cover is designed for standard interior door thicknesses. Its dimensions (355mm x 127mm) are suitable for a wide range of common letterbox sizes. Compatibility may vary with very thick doors or non-standard letterbox openings.
Care: To maintain the polished brass finish, regularly clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying. Consider using a metal polish specifically designed for brass if the finish begins to dull over time.
