Frequently Asked Questions about Letter box replacement in Dawlish
Will a new letterbox fit the existing hole?
Usually yes - letterbox sizes are fairly standard. We may need to adjust slightly, but most replacements fit existing cutouts. If your old hole is damaged, we can tidy it up.
Can you fit a letterbox to a uPVC door?
Depends on the door. Some uPVC doors have reinforcement for letterboxes. Others don't. We'll assess whether it's possible and safe.
My letterbox lets in a terrible draught - help!
Old letterboxes with worn flaps or broken springs let in lots of cold air. A new letterbox with proper brush seals and working springs makes a real difference.
Can I match other door furniture?
Yes - choose finish (brass, chrome, black, etc) to match knocker, handle, and numbers. Consistent finish looks much better.
