Types of Letterboxes

Letterboxes come in various styles, each catering to different installation needs. Some letterboxes are designed to go through walls, doors, or gates, while others are simply wall mounted. Understanding the type of letterbox you have is crucial for a successful installation.

Wall-Mounted Letterboxes

If you’re installing a wall-mounted letterbox, the process is typically less complicated. You can follow these steps to ensure a proper installation:

Locate a suitable wall location that is strong and supports the weight of the letterbox.

Use a measuring tape to mark the center of where the letterbox will be installed.

Measure the hole needed for the back of the letterbox to fit through the wall. Make sure to take into account the depth of the letterbox.

Drill a hole in the wall according to the measurements.

Attach the letterbox to the wall by screwing it into the drilled hole.

Once the letterbox is securely in place, you can set up the front faceplate, ensuring it sits firmly against the wall.

Fence-Mounted Letterboxes

Fence-mounted letterboxes typically require more preparation, primarily because they need to be attached to a fence. Here’s how you can install one effectively:

Locate the point on the fence where you want to install the letterbox. Ensure it is strong enough to support the weight.

Create an aperture in the fence to accommodate the back of the letterbox. Use a small drill or a hole saw to make a neat hole.

Position the letterbox through the aperture and align it with the back of the fence.

Drill the back of the letterbox into the fence, securing it in place. Use screws long enough to penetrate both the letterbox and the fence material.

Mount the faceplate of the letterbox, ensuring it is flush with the fence for a clean aesthetic.
