Description

The DELTANA MSH158U10B is a letter box hood finished in oil rubbed bronze, designed to mount over a mail slot opening on an exterior door. It shields the interior of the door from weather, debris, and drafts that enter through the mail slot cutout. The hood installs as a trim cover piece and is suited for residential and light commercial door applications. At 12.5 inches in length and 2 inches in height, it fits standard letter box slot widths. The oil rubbed bronze finish provides a dark, hand-worked appearance consistent with period and transitional door hardware styles.

This hood is used on exterior entry doors where a mail slot has been installed or is being replaced. It mounts to the door face over the slot opening to provide a finished appearance and weather protection. Typical installations are found in residential homes, apartment entry doors, and small commercial storefronts. The unit is sold individually and is appropriate for new installation or as a replacement cover on an existing mail slot assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or general contractor. Verify the door thickness and existing slot cutout dimensions before mounting to confirm fit. Use fasteners appropriate for the door material and follow any local building or fire-code requirements for rated entry doors. Avoid over-tightening mounting hardware on hollow-core doors to prevent surface damage.
