THE SAFETY LETTERBOX COMPANY TAKES UP NEW POST WITH SBD
» THE SAFETY LETTERBOX Company started in 1986 with the launch of its first mailbox product Homeguard , which fits to the rear of a front door and can be fitted with a fire extinguisher to protect the home and its residents . It remains a popular product . Throughout numerous product launches over the years , one has stood out as a firm favourite among domestic customers : the Flaplock . Launched in 2008 , the Flaplock can be locked at night or closed off to address the risk of theft and arson . It has proved a success with police and fire services as well as individual households and housing associations around the UK .
A key part of the business has been research and development , and over the years the company has produced a comprehensive range of mail and parcel delivery products for internal and external use , including wall-mounted , recessed and through-the-wall solutions as well as freestanding boxes . These include firerated mailboxes with various locking options and other high specification products . They also offer a fully bespoke service which can incorporate the use of multiple finishes and materials .
Most recently , The Safety Letterbox Company , which is based in Neath , South Wales , produces a wide range of mailbox and parcelbox solutions for individual household use and in multiple banked configurations for luxury apartments , student facilities , retailers and major corporate organisations , including temperaturecontrolled Click & Collect solutions .
The company , which is part of the RENZ Group , joined SBD in December 2020 and already has one of its products – the ‘ SLB 2020 V Letterbox ’ – accredited by SBD for its capability to deter and reduce crime .
This is important as it means the product has been recognised by the Police Service for having achieved Police Preferred Specification after going through a rigorous process of security testing to receive Certisecure certification for attaining the Door and Hardware Federation ( DHF ) Technical Standard 009 ( TS009 ) for letterboxes where mail is retrieved from the same side as it is delivered .
