Yes, it features an external weather seal designed to protect against the elements.

How do I clean the letterplate?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products.

What material is the letterplate made from?

It is constructed from heavy-duty all-metal materials.

Does it help reduce noise?

The multiple seals, including draught and brush seals, help to dampen noise as well as drafts.

What is included with the letterplate?

The letterplate comes with four screws in two different lengths for installation.

Can the flap be opened fully?

Troubleshooting

Letterplate flap is stiff or does not spring back properly.

Check for any obstructions or debris caught in the hinge or spring mechanism. Gently clean the area. Ensure the door thickness is within the specified range, as excessive compression could affect the flap's movement.

Draughts are still noticeable after installation.

Verify that all seals (weather, draught, brush) are correctly seated and making full contact with the door. Ensure the door itself is well-sealed. Check that the letterplate is securely fastened and not loose.

Screws do not seem long enough or too long.

The product is supplied with screws of two different lengths. Ensure you are using the correct length for your specific door thickness. If neither provided length is suitable, consider sourcing appropriate length screws of the same gauge.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the door thickness falls within the 38-70mm range.
