| Q: What is a restrictor plate? A: The restrictor plate is a outward protruding 'tongue' like feature, fitted inside the box and below the letter opening, which prevents someone from putting a hand down into your box to steal your mail-- see here for diagram Back to Top |
| Q: If I have a restrictor plate fitted will it restrict larger packages going into my post box? A: It may do; If security is not an issue then best not to have it fitted; However the restrictor plate is easy to fix if you get your box and realise that you need a restrictor plate after all - Alternatively if you receive the box with a restrictor plate and decide it is restricting parcels, it can be removed; (front casting would have to be taken off the box, which may be slightly trickier with an extended casing if the box is being built into a wall; Back to Top |
| Q: Can the Kingsbury / Bloomsbury be made bigger ? A: They can be made deeper, but they can not be made wider or taller, only deeper (ie front to back of box measurement) Back to Top |
| Q: I want a box to build into a brick wall what size to I order? |
| A: Measure your wall from front to back and give us the exact
depth in mm - there is a space on the shopping cart for this
information Back to Top |
| Q:My builder is working on my wall now, is there any drawing he can use to leave the space needed for my box? |
| A: Yes, dowload
this drawing which the builder can use; Back to Top |
| Q:Can these post boxes be built into stone walls , or only brick walls? |
| A: Yes the boxes can be built into stone walls; As this type
of wall may not be completely even, give us the deepest part
of the wall, when you get your box you will need to fill in the
gaps with mortar; If the box protrudes from the back of the wall
it will still be waterproof as the internal casing is suitable
for outdoor weather exposure- so if you want a box bigger than
your wall then it is not a problem if it protudes through the
back, you will however need to 'bed' the box in with mortar/cement Back to Top |
| Q:I want to build the post box into a wall, but I need to have a front door as I don't have access to the back of the wall, is this possible? |
| A: Yes, there are two options 1) If the box is to stop short
of the end of your wall, ie not going straight through to the
other side, then you can choose the box with a front door and
a 'flush (blind) back' option which is available on our secure
shopping page : 2) Or if the box is to go into the wall and straight
through to the other side the choose the front door option but
will the 'back casting' , ie it will still have the front door; Back to Top |
| Q: What do all the different codes mean for this box, ie LS01, LS02, LS05, LS03, etc...? |
A:The LS01, and LS05 are boxes with rear doors for building
into walls or mounting onto gates; The LS01 is the Kingsbury
post box, the LS05 is the Bloomsbury post box; |
| Q:Why do some of the boxes have the 'POST' on the letter flap in a different colour to the box? |
| A:When the box is made, the POST is the same colour as the
box, but as it is 'cast' it stands proud of the surface of the
box and so 'stands out' However there is also an option of having
the 'POST' in a different coloured lettering: This however is
only available on a Clarendon style post flap which comes as
standard with the Bloomsbury post box; You can have the Kingsbury
post box - which normally comes with a 'script' style post flap
- also in contrast lettering, but choose the 'Clarendon ' post
flap style Back to Top |
| Q:How many keys come with the box? |
| A:2 keys come with the box and spares are available if required;
It is a snap shut cylinder lock similar to the glove compartment
of a car, ie you can leave the door unlocked if required - the
door being a 'snap shut' style will stay closed; Or you can use
the key to lock and unlock the box; Back to Top |
| Q:What colours are the post box available in? |
| A: The boxes are phosphate treated (for long lasting protection)
before being coated in a durable top quality low bake enamel
in a choice of colours:--CLASSIC BLACK- RAL 9005: STUNNING WHITE-
RAL 9016: ELEGANT BRUNSWICK GREEN- RAL 6009: and BURGUNDY -
RAL 3007 . The finish is a semi gloss; Furthermore should you
have a specific RAL colour in mind - then please contact us and
we would be happy to quote for a personalised colour; Or if you
wish you can have the box unpainted , for instance if you are
having gates made and want the box the same colour as your gates,
then your gate manufacturer can paint the box at the same time
as he paints your gates;- please contact us for a price should
you wish the unpainted option (there will be a reduction in price) Back to Top |
| Q:What are the boxes made from? |
| A:The front and back panels are cast in solid aluminium whilst
the casing is made from heavy guage zinc plated steel; Back to Top |
| Q:Are the boxes imported? |
| A: No the boxes are handmade in a UK foundry Back to Top |
| Q:What are the delivery times? |
| A:For a standard case delivery is normally within a week, if
the colour is black, for a larger case size or a colour other
than black then allow a bit longer, if you need your box earlier
than this then please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate
you ; Back to Top |
| Q: How are the boxes sent? |
| A: The boxes are sent by Courier and are fully insured they
