Nanocoast Stainless Steel 12" Letterplates

The UAP Anti Vandal 300mm all stainless steel 12 inch letterplate comes with both an external and internal flap to protect your customer’s homes. These products are made from 304 grade stainless steel (heavy duty versions made from 316 grade stainless steel), and are specifically designed for areas which are within a 25 mile radius of the coast, or within 5 miles of highly populated industrial areas. Unlike brass and zinc based products, the Nanocoast products will not pit, rust or corrode no matter what environments you put them in. They have been salt spray tested to ASTM B117:2005 for 2000+ hours. This means that the products will last longer, and keep your customers happy. What’s more, every Nanocoast product comes with a lifetime coating guarantee!

The cavity hole dimension to drill into your doors in order to fit the all stainless steel 12 inch letterplate is 257mm 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 all stainless steel 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.
