What is the difference between a letter plate and a letter plate cover?

A letter plate is the external flap on your door that allows mail to be posted through, while a letter plate cover usually fits on the inside of the door to help reduce draughts, improve security and tidy the opening. At Trade Door Handles we supply both external letter plates and internal letter tidies in matching finishes.

Are your letter plates suitable for timber, uPVC and composite doors?

Yes, we stock letter plates and letter plate covers suitable for timber, uPVC and composite doors. Many of our products are telescopic or sleeved to suit different door thicknesses and are designed to work with modern multi-point locking doors as well as traditional timber doors.

Do you offer fire-rated and anti-snap letter plate covers?

Selected letter plates in our range are fire-rated and designed for use on FD30 and FD60 fire doors when fitted in line with the manufacturer’s instructions. We also offer more secure and anti-snap style letter box covers that help reduce the risk of fishing, vandalism and draughts at the door.

How do I measure for a replacement letter plate?

To choose a replacement letter plate you normally need the overall size of the existing plate and the aperture size of the cut-out in the door. It also helps to know the door thickness and whether your door is timber, uPVC or composite. If you are unsure, contact Trade Door Handles with your measurements and we can recommend a suitable product.

Can I match my letter plate to the rest of my door furniture?

Yes, our letter plate covers are available in a wide choice of finishes including stainless steel, polished chrome, satin chrome, brass, black and more so you can match your letter plate to door knockers, centre door knobs, escutcheons, handles and other front door hardware.
