We all want to protect our home from unwanted guests. Making sure you have a high security letterbox installed is an important step in improving your overall home security.
Your letterbox is a vulnerable point on your door, giving burglars an opportunity to use it in an attempt to gain entry into your home.
When looking for a letterplate, be sure to install one with added security features. Taking extra precautions can ensure your home is much safer and will give you that added peace of mind.
Letterbox ‘fishing’ allows burglars to retrieve your keys and more without having to step foot into your home! They simply use a long hooked rod to ‘fish’ for any house and car keys left in reach of the door through the letterbox.
With that said, you must ensure that you leave your keys in a safe place; out of sight of potential burglars, but easily accessible in the case of an emergency.
Protect Your Home With A High-Security Letterbox
UAP offer a wide range of anti-vandal letterboxes that incorporate outward facing brushes – a feature not found on standard letterboxes. Having brushes on the front of the door acts as a visual deterrent to vandals. As the internal cavity is not easily accessible, it also makes it much more difficult for vandals to post unwanted items through the letterbox.
UAP letterplates such as the TS008 Soterian have extra security features such as no visible fixing screws, meaning that the letterbox cannot be unscrewed and removed from the outside, leading to an empty letterbox hole that a burglar can fit their arm through.
The newest iteration of our letterplate, the TS008 Soterian Slim, packs all its features including Document Q, Secured by Design, and PAS24 compliance into our slimmest frame yet.
At Tradelocks, you’ll find Secured by Design and Anti Vandal UAP letterboxes. Each letterbox flap can open to 180 degrees and has been tested to withstand thousands of openings without breaking, giving your home the best protection against burglary attempts.
