Learn More About Residential Mail Slots

Residential mail slots allow letters and envelopes to pass directly through a front door or entrance panel, eliminating the need for a separate exterior mailbox in suitable installations.

They are commonly used on wooden, metal and composite doors in houses, apartments and other residential entrances. Depending on the design, inner flaps, brush seals and rear trim components can help improve the appearance and reduce drafts around the opening.

When selecting a residential mail slot, consider the door material, opening dimensions, door thickness, exterior finish, interior trim and flap structure.
