Since acquiring a dog who chews up everything that comes through the door I have now put a post box on the outside wall for all my mail and newspapers. However, I want to seal up the letterbox in the door so I don't get anything posted through it. Does anyone know where I can buy a blank plate/cover to screw over the existing opening?
Hi craft.
I don't know of any such thing but I'm sure a local hardware shop could help.
Instead of doing that, why don't you fit/hang a wire basket behind your letterbox? Your dog won't be able to get at the post. Also, those outside boxes are not always good for larger letters/small packages so you would still have use of your letterbox if you fit a basket.
thanks mrs_o - unfortunately the door goes back onto a kitchen unit so there is no space for a basket. Anyway you haven't seen the size of my postbox - I think it will be a listed tourist attraction soon.....
any DIY is out as I am useless - at the moment it can't be used as it is taped down with some really thick stuff my builder put on but it looks bl00dy awful - come on chaps I'm relying on you.
I emailed wickes who wrote back saying they knew what I wanted but didn't have it!!
