Post Boxes UK Limited, the nation’s leading independent supplier of banked letterbox systems for apartments, is proud to announce the introduction of a new range of anti-theft mailboxes to the locksmith and security industries.
With mail theft and ID theft at an all-time high in the UK, the security of a residents mailbox within a communal area of a block of apartments cannot be underestimated. This is particularly true of banks of post boxes which are positioned externally or in high risk areas, where access to the units by members of the public may be unrestricted.
To counter this growing trend, Post Boxes UK has developed a range of secure letterbox units which offer unrivalled levels of protection for delivered mail. Manufactured from 2mm galvanised steel and stainless steel, the robust range feature anti-withdrawal plates to prevent mail from being “fished” via the aperture and high security camlock. The design of the door also minimises the possibility of it being jemmied open by screwdriver or similar tools.
Managing director Charles Riley adds, “Over the past ten years the quality of apartment style post boxes has fallen dramatically, mainly as a result of market pressure pushing costs lower. Subsequently, the number of security issues has risen within the same timeframe. It is not uncommon for a bank of budget post boxes to be completely replaced with two years of them being installed.”
Compliant with European Norm EN13724:2013 and the latest Secured By Design requirements (New Homes Guide 2014, section 21.19 and 24.6), the robust RH and RV range of mailboxes from Post Boxes UK offers locksmiths and their client’s peace of mind: an install-and-forget solution to combat mail theft issues.
