Security Letter Plates: Why are they necessary to secure your home?

Our letter boxes are a key feature of our front door and provide an easy way to receive important documents and letters, but they can also leave a property vulnerable to break-ins and theft. Letterbox fishing is a common technique used to steal possessions within easy reach of a door, but this theft can be prevented with a Security Letter Plate.

What is a Security Letter Plate?

A Security Letter Plate offers more protection to a door. Arrone’s newly released TS 008:2022 Security Letter Plate features an anti-theft steel guard solution with a slimline cover on the inside door. The cover provides a non-restrictive door opening with a projection of just 21mm, even when the door is fully opened. It also has an adjustable stepped internal sleeve, which prevents the internal flap of the letter plate being fully opened, and steel side guard plates to offer protection against letterbox fishing.

Why you need a Security Letter Plate
