DESCRIPTION OF PARTS
OPERATION
Setting up
Fit new door following manufacturers instructions.
■ Remove door from frame. Remove any
obstacles that may get in the way such as the
house number. Place door on trestles with
the outside face of the door face down (any
breakout when routing through door will be
hidden by letter plate surround).
■ Mark position of letterbox aperture on front of
door.
■ Draw centre lines on the front of the door.
The template is designed to suit the three most
common sizes of letterbox plate. The size printed
on the template is the finished aperture size.
To calculate which size will suit the letter plate,
either refer to the letter plate manufacturers
instructions, or alternatively turn letter plate over
to look at the back mechanism and measure the
swing flap length and add 4mm. The height
measurement should be taken from the base of
the swing flap to the top of the hinge mechanism.
Choose the correct aperture in the template to
suit the letter flap. Double check correct
aperture is chosen.
