Just some fitting advice

These cowls will fit across a 12 inch upvc letterbox . Fitting this item is easy to do using the supplied screws for uPVC doors. In the first instance it is best to site the letterbox cowl in such a way that the letterbox flap can still open sufficiently to let the post through, but this only needs to be sufficient at an angle and not full opening. Always remember if some kind of tool or even a hand was placed through the letterbox ask yourself the question is the direction downwards? Take a look at the images we show on this product to get a feel for how to position the upvc letterbox cowl around your existing letterbox. It i always best to get someone to help you as you hold the letterbox cowl inposition whilst someone else controls the letterbox flaps. Once you are happy with that then scew into position carefully and in a square fashion.

What is letterbox phishing?

Front door security can be compromised through the letterbox by the use of fishing type rods used to reach keys left within close proximity to the door.

Other reasons to consider this upvc letterbox cowl

If you have a thumbturn lock on your front door then be aware that this could be reached and activated through the letterbox.

If you have a self-locking door then be aware that the upvc door handles can be reached internally and very easily 'flicked' open through the letterbox. This could be the case during the day when you are in the house.

What else can I do to secure my upvc front door?

A simple device you could fit but is only usable while in the house is the Frame Guard Sash Jammer. This is a push button lock that you can swing across at night or in the daytime if needed. It is also key locking if you want to go belt and braces at nighttime.

Anti snap locks are a must these days to ensure unwanted access from the outside is secured via the cylinder.
