draught letterbox

valleyboy22

Hi All,

We have a PVC door which is about 4 years old now.

I have noticed a bad draught out of it lately and i would like to replace it to try and eliminate this.

Can anyone recommend one please which would more or less be a straight swap i the one i have got now which works?

Thanks

We're going to need a bit more information. Dimensions (including depth) of your current letterbox for a start, plus how it's fitted/removed, etc. I can send as many links to new letterboxes as you can read but without knowing the extra information it won't be much help.

Sorry. At work at the moment but will update when home. I got the brushes etc between them but not doing much good.

Taken a picture but can't seem to attach it? Any help please to show you all the letterbox?

Length measure 26.5cm but but not a rectangular shape because on each side are ear looking cut out and if measure from them it's 29cm. Width is 4.5 cm. Hope this helps?

Depth approx 3cm

I'm not sure what you mean by "ear looking cut outs"?

Your letterbox probably screws on with two or four screws from the inside (lift the plate). Unscrew and you'll be able to dismount from the door.

Does it look anything like this? https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p56975?searchstr=letterbox

You'll want to get a replacement that has the same screw holes and placement, and where the sleeve will fit through the door. There isn't one size - but this one sounds similar in size - perhaps it'd do.

The letterbox is the same un the picture look wise but when I took mine off ots not cut out rectangular like it. Need to show a picture to make it easier sorry.

It is shaped right but each side of door cut out has ear shapes to it.
