Letterboxes are required to receive letters, bills, or any document that is received through post. They are installed at residential and commercial properties. It allows the postman to easily deliver the documents.
When it comes to choosing the letterbox for your home or office, you get a variety of options which include metal, wood, natural stone and concrete letterboxes. Moreover, letterboxes augment the look of your sweet home.
Generally, a letterbox will have the look of a box with an opening in one side of it which can be either horizontal or vertical. The opening facilitates the delivery of the documents to be dropped into the box. Normally, some kind of flap will cover this opening so as to protect its contents from external weather changes and also to shield it from insects, birds and other domestic animals getting entry into the letterbox or prevent nesting inside it. The size of the opening is also crucial as it must be broad enough to accept delivered documents or items and at the same time it shouldn’t be too broad which might allow access to its content by unwanted objects or unauthorized persons.
Different types of letterboxes are available; however, you’ll find a usual type of letterbox on the main entrance door at most of the residential places. For ease of use, they are generally constructed around waist height, and the letters or documents dropped via the letterbox flap falls to the floor of the main entrance room.
Some residential places have letterboxes that have a small box installed at the receiving end or the other side of the main entrance door that will hold the delivered letters, documents or bills shielding the items from falling to the floor.
In certain cases, it is not suitable or convenient to have a letterbox opening in a door and this is when other methods must be utilised to receive the post. An independent letterbox does not depend on a door or building and is one of the ways to attain it.
A letterbox can be fixed to a wall either externally on the outside of the building or internally within the commercial properties. And there are other types of letterboxes that are freestanding which are completely independent of the building or property.
Other types of letterboxes are also available which may include, but not limited to the following:
• Stand alone letterboxes
• Gate posts with letterboxes
• Fence mounted letterboxes
