Troubleshooting
Letter flap is stiff or won't open fully
Check for obstructions in the flap mechanism. Clean any dirt or debris. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the hinges.
Mail appears to be getting wet inside
Ensure the outward-opening letter flap is closing properly. Check for any damage to the flap seal or housing. Verify the post box is mounted at a slight downward angle to promote water runoff.
Nameplate is difficult to attach or stays put
Ensure the nameplate area is clean and dry. If the plate uses an adhesive, remove any backing. If it slides into a groove, ensure the groove is clear of debris.
Post box feels loose or unstable
Re-check and tighten all mounting screws or fixings. Ensure the post box is securely attached to its base or wall.
