Framemaster 12" Letterplates

The UAP Anti Vandal 300mm 12 inch letterplate is one of the only letterboxes on the market to be awarded ‘Secured by Design’ approval by the association of police officers. Each letterplate comes with both an external and internal flap to protect your customer’s homes, and is available in 2 different depths (20-40mm for uPVC doors, and 40-80mm for composite and wooden doors).

The cavity hole dimension to drill into your doors in order to fit the Framemaster 12 inch letterplate is 250mm x 39.75mm. In a Secured by Design test, any letterplate where the height of the letterbox cavity is over 40mm will automatically fail the test as it is conceived that any height over 40mm is big enough for someone to put their hand through the letterbox and manipulate the cylinder on the other side. Many letterplates in the industry fail the Secured by Design test due to this reason.

On the UAP Framemaster 12 inch letterplate there are many features that are not found on standard letterboxes. This includes the trademarked Anti-Vandal facility. Each year house fires are started by vandals putting fireworks through letterboxes. Each UAP Anti-Vandal letterplate has the brushes outward facing (a feature no other letterplate in the industry has). This gives 3 great benefits:

1 – Having brushes on the front of the door acts as a visual deterrent to vandals. As the internal cavity is not easily accessible, it makes it a lot harder to put lit fireworks etc. into the cavity.

2 – It is easier for postmen to navigate letters through the brushes, so you won’t end up receiving crinkled letters anymore.

3 – The brushes stop draughts at the point of entry, making the letterplate draught-proof.

Another great feature of all UAP letterplates is that each letterplate flap can open to 180 degrees, meaning that it should not snap, and making letterplate flaps snapping off a thing of the past. Many letterplates in the industry only open to 90 degrees, so when too much force is applied when lifting the flap up, it causes them to snap off. The ultra-flexible springs means that they can withstand thousands of openings without breaking, making them last even longer. Also, an internal water seal also prevents water getting into the door or panel, which stops letters getting wet as they are posted through, and also helps to prevent the flaps from pitting or rusting.
