Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a mail slot work?
A: A door mail slot is a small, rectangular opening in the front door through which a mail carrier can deliver mail. Its benefits include usability and security, as it enables mail delivery directly to a home, behind a locked door. A mail slot catcher is a valuable addition to the inside of the door because it catches the mail, keeping items together and off the floor. Be sure to place your slot carefully, so that it doesn’t enable access to the door lock. An exterior post box is a mailbox that’s next to or near the front door. You can lock it to prevent theft.
An in-wall mailbox slot is similar to a door slot, except the mail goes through the wall instead of through a door. Be aware that mail slots need to be at least 30 inches high to meet US Postal Service requirements. Check out local postal restrictions, as not all areas support the use of mail slots. Additionally, some neighborhood and homeowner associations have their own rules.
Q: How do you secure a door mail slot?
A: To help ensure your door mail slot is secure, install both interior and exterior mail slot covers. Mail slot hoods are another way to prevent someone from reaching through. If home security is a primary concern, consider in-wall mailbox slots and exterior post boxes.
