The highly desirable Kingsbury rear retrieval letterbox. Your mail is posted through the front flap and retrieved from the rear lockable access door.
Designed to be fitted through:
When built into a cavity wall or pier, the mail is securely stored within the cavity area allowing both the front and back castings to fit flush against the brickwork or rendering.
LS01 Letterbox Dimensions
The dimensions are based on a standard size LS01 postbox which is designed to fit a 9 inch brick wall. However when we manufacture custom size mailboxes it is only the depth (the distance between the front and back castings) which changes, the width and height dimensions remain the same for all size postboxes. Below there are various explanations referring to the depth of the LS01 postbox, these comments are only relevent when the letterbox is fixed into a non standard brick wall, a brick pier or if a larger capacity is required.
The standard size LS01 postbox is suitable for the following
A standard 9" wall
Fixed into metal railings
Fitted into a wooden fence

LS01/LS05 Fitting instructions
The drawing to the left shows the ideal size of the aperture to be formed in the wall.
The sizes allow approximately 3mm clearance all round.
It should be noted that top of the case slopes down both ways from the centre when viewed from the front.
This illustration shows the standard size Lettasafe suitable for a 9" (215mm) thick wall.
We can supply sheet metal cases to suit walls / piers up to 900mm thick to special order.
It is important, on the front face of the wall, to position the case so that a minimum of 5mm protrudes from the wall as the castings are recessed on their rear face.
The rear part of the case should also protrude to a minimum of 5mm. It can, on thinner walls protrude for a greater amount. See drawing below.
Ensure that the Silicon rubber seal channel is positioned over the edges of the sheet steel case prior to re-fitting the castings.
