Troubleshooting
Letterbox does not close securely.
Check for any obstructions in the closing mechanism or hinge. Ensure the mounting is secure and the unit is not warped.
Mail is getting wet.
Verify that the hinged lid is fully closed and the overhanging design is effectively covering the slot. Ensure the letterbox is mounted to allow water runoff and not collect standing water.
Keys are lost or damaged.
Contact the manufacturer or a locksmith for replacement keys. Note: AB Tools MPN MFZ163_Red includes 2 keys.
