Product Information

Full details

The Keypak 12-inch letterplate is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their entryway with a blend of aesthetic appeal and functional draught exclusion. Designed for those with uPVC, composite, or timber doors between 20mm and 40mm in thickness, it offers a high-end look with its polished gold cover and durable black frame. While it provides excellent sound-dampening and thermal performance, users should carefully measure their existing door aperture to ensure the telescopic sleeve fits correctly before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be installed on a metal door?

Yes, provided the total door thickness, including any internal insulation or cladding, is between 20mm and 40mm.

Does it come with mounting screws?

Yes, the product includes all necessary fixings required for standard installation.

What is the primary benefit of the brush strips?

The brush strips help prevent cold air, dust, and insects from entering your home through the letter slot.

Is the gold finish real gold?

No, the gold cover is a polished, high-quality finish designed for aesthetic appeal, not solid gold.

How do I measure my door to ensure compatibility?

Measure the total thickness of the door from the interior face to the exterior face. If it falls between 20mm and 40mm, it is compatible.

Can I install this myself without professional help?

Yes, the design is intended for straightforward DIY installation using standard household tools.

Troubleshooting

The flap is not closing flush against the frame.

Check to ensure the unit is installed level and that no debris is trapped in the hinge mechanism or the brush strips.

The telescopic sleeve feels loose.

Ensure the internal and external frame screws are properly aligned and tightened to pull the two components securely against the door faces.

Draughts are still entering through the unit.

Verify that the brush strips are not folded over and that the unit is correctly centered over the door aperture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install your Keypak letterplate, first remove your existing unit and measure the thickness of your door to ensure it falls within the 20mm to 40mm range. Use the provided fixings to secure the internal and external frames together through the telescopic sleeve. Ensure the unit is level before tightening the screws to maintain a perfect seal.

For maintenance, wipe the polished gold cover periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and prevent oxidation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the finish of the gold cover or damage the integrity of the black frame. Periodically check that the fixing screws remain tight to ensure the brush strips continue to form an effective seal against the door.
