> Product Description
The Astro Telescopic Letter Box 12 inch letterplate has many features not found on standard letterboxes, such as the trademarked Anti-Vandal facility. Each Anti-Vandal letterplate has outward facing brushes - This gives 3 great benefits:
- 1 - Having brushes on the front of the door acts as a visual deterrent to vandals. As the internal cavity is not easily accessible, it makes it a lot harder to put lit fireworks etc. into the cavity.
- 2 - It is easier for postmen to navigate letters through the brushes, so you won't end up receiving crinkled letters anymore.
- 3 - The brushes stop draughts at the point of entry, making the letterplate draught-proof.
Another great feature is that each letterplate flap can open to 180 degrees, meaning that it should not snap, and making letterplate flaps snapping off a thing of the past. Many letterplates in the industry only open to 90 degrees, so when too much force is applied when lifting the flap up, it causes them to snap off. The ultra-flexible springs means that they can withstand thousands of openings without breaking, making them last even longer. Also, an internal water seal also prevents water getting into the door or panel, which stops letters getting wet as they are posted through, and also helps to prevent the flaps from pitting or rusting.
