ENHANCE HOME SECURITY WITH THE FLAPGUARD LOCKABLE LETTERBOX COVER

» FOR LOCKSMITHS AND SECURITY professionals, recommending practical security upgrades is an excellent way to help customers better protect their homes while adding value to your services. One product that continues to gain attention is the FlapGUARD Lockable Letterbox Security Cover, a robust and stylish solution designed to reduce common letterbox-related security risks.
Manufactured from durable steel, FlapGUARD acts as both a locking letterbox cover and an opening restrictor. Its clever design helps prevent unauthorised access through the letterbox, reducing opportunities for mail theft, lock manipulation, and the increasingly common practice known as“ fishing”, where criminals use tools inserted through the letterbox to retrieve keys or valuables from inside the property.
The opening mechanism restricts the letterbox flap to just 40 degrees, helping to prevent the insertion of larger objects while
maintaining everyday functionality for receiving mail. Easy-to-turn locking knobs and strong steel locking pins make the unit simple to operate for users of all ages and abilities, while providing a secure method of locking the letterbox closed when required. Installation has been designed with convenience in mind. Every FlapGUARD unit is supplied with all necessary fixtures and fittings and can be installed in seconds using Ultra High Bond( UHB) adhesive pads. This makes it particularly suitable for FD-rated fire doors where screw fixings may not be permitted.
In addition to helping prevent mail theft and lock-bumping attempts, FlapGUARD can also help reduce the risk of arson attacks involving materials inserted through
the letterbox. The product has achieved Sold Secure Domestic Buildings Bronze accreditation when installed using the supplied fixing screws on non-fire-rated doors and is backed by a 12-month guarantee.
Combining strong steel construction, elegant styling, straightforward installation, and practical security benefits, FlapGUARD offers locksmiths an effective security enhancement that homeowners can easily appreciate and trust.
FlapGUARD is available directly from the manufacturer Prestige Products( steve @ prestige-products. co. uk) and Trade Only Security Wholesaler Aldridge Security: Details of FlapGUARD www. flapguard. co. uk
