Learn More About Metal Mail Slots

Metal mail slots provide a durable alternative to lightweight plastic components for doors, walls and entrance panels.

Different metals offer different combinations of strength, weight, appearance, corrosion resistance and cost. Stainless steel is commonly selected for clean, durable hardware; aluminum provides a lightweight option; brass is often used where a traditional or premium metal appearance is required; and coated steel supports a wide range of colors and finishes.

When selecting a metal mail slot, consider the installation environment, material thickness, flap structure, finish, mounting method and whether the visible surfaces will be exposed outdoors.
