Polished Chrome Letter Plate

What is a Letter Plate?

A letter plate—often referred to as a letterbox—is a rectangular slot fitted into a door or wall, designed for secure and convenient mail delivery. Most feature a flap or tidy cover to protect against draughts, rain, and curious pets.

Choosing the Right Size and Style

Popular choices include the 10" x 3" (254mm x 76mm) size, which fits standard door cutouts, and the larger 12" x 4" (305mm x 102mm), ideal for homes receiving bulkier mail or newspapers. Our collection features both sprung letter plates and gravity flap models, along with sleeved letter plates that include an inner flap—ideal for uPVC and composite doors.

If you're concerned about draughts or interior decor, consider pairing your letter plate with a letterbox draught excluder or an internal letter flap. These simple accessories reduce heat loss and add a tidy look to the inside of your door.

Finish & Compatibility

The polished chrome finish offers a high-shine, mirror-like effect that complements modern door hardware such as handles, knockers, and numbers. Most of our chrome letter plates are designed for timber doors, but the sleeved versions also work with other door materials.

Whether you’re upgrading your entrance or renovating a property, these chrome letter plates offer long-lasting appeal with minimal maintenance.
