FAQs

What is the insertion format for mail?

The insertion format is landscape DIN C4, which measures 325 mm in width and 34 mm in height, accommodating A4 envelopes and similar sizes.

Does the mailbox come with keys?

Yes, the mailbox includes 2 keys for the cylinder lock.

Can I install this mailbox outdoors without protection?

While made of weather-resistant plastic, prolonged direct exposure to harsh weather conditions is not recommended to preserve the piano lacquer finish. Installation in a sheltered area is advised.

How do I clean the piano lacquer finish?

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to maintain the high-gloss appearance.

Can I mount this mailbox on a stand?

Yes, optional letterbox stands such as the Rondo or Universal models can be purchased separately for free-standing installation.

What are the external dimensions of the mailbox?

The dimensions are approximately 400 mm (Height) x 380 mm (Width) x 178 mm (Depth).

Is the newspaper compartment lockable?

No, the newspaper compartment is separate from the main letter compartment and does not have its own lock; it is designed for easy access to newspapers and magazines.

Troubleshooting

Mail does not fit in the slot

Ensure the item is not larger than DIN C4 landscape format (325 x 34 mm). For very thick mail, consider if it exceeds the slot's capacity.

Newspaper compartment is difficult to open/close

Check for any obstructions within the compartment or on its hinges. Ensure the flap is properly aligned.

Lock is stiff or difficult to turn

Lubricate the lock cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt.

Mail is getting wet

Verify that the mailbox is installed in a weather-protected area as recommended. Ensure the slot flap is closing properly and the main door seal is intact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
