Troubleshooting
Post box door is stiff to open.
Check the locking mechanism for debris or obstructions. Apply a light lubricant to the lock cylinder and hinges.
Mail is getting wet inside.
Ensure the letter flap is closing correctly and the outward-opening mechanism is functioning. Check for any damage to the flap seal. Make sure the post box is mounted securely and not tilted forward.
Lock is difficult to turn or key won't insert fully.
The lock may be dirty or corroded. Try cleaning the lock cylinder with compressed air and apply a graphite-based lubricant specifically designed for locks. Ensure you are using the correct key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This post box is designed for mounting. Ensure you have appropriate screws and wall plugs suitable for your mounting surface (e.g., brick wall, fence). Locate the mounting holes on the back or side of the post box. Hold the post box in the desired position, mark the hole locations, drill pilot holes, and then secure the post box using screws.
Compatibility:
The Trent Post Box is compatible with standard letter sizes and small envelopes. Its narrow slot accommodates mail up to a certain thickness, but bulky items or small packages may not fit. It is designed for wall mounting or can be integrated into a bank of post boxes.
Care:

For long-term protection, especially in harsh environments, an occasional application of a light lubricant to the lock may be beneficial.
