CRL Mail Slot - Door Hardware & Locks

I was very happy to finally find a taller mail slot that has spring or magnetic tension to stay closed. The whole product is intended and sold for glass shops, I have used it for a through wall mailbox and for an old house. The positive thing is that it closes very well by itself. On the negative side, if the frame itself, screwed or attached to the wall, was even slightly bent, the door would not shoot and hold the seal. It is difficult to find a perfectly flat surface and an old house. As others have pointed out, after testing the email insertion, it was difficult to get email through the back door after I installed everything. The gap between my inner and outer slots was about 3 1/2 inches. This requires the postman to aim for the center of the inward opening brushes, which he probably won't do on me. To make things easier I removed the set of floor brushes from the booth which made it fairly easy to answer and move the mail to the bottom of the door. Happy with the product. The delivery was terrible. When the product didn't show up and delivery was estimated at two weeks, the company finally replied to the emails and shipped it a week after the scheduled delivery. However, I was reimbursed for the shipping costs.

Pros
