Wooden Door With Mail Slot

3/22/2022

Today I am veering from theme a bit. Instead featuring doors all of one color, I am featuring mail slots.

You see, I live in a neighborhood where our mailboxes are located at the end of our street instead of at the end of our individual driveways. It’s a small street with only seven houses and that’s just the way it’s always been.

I hate it.

As you can imagine, on those evening when you realize at 9pm you never got the mail, instead of being able to skip down the driveway and grab it, I have to trudge down the street.

Stainless Steel Door Mail Slot (Front & Rear Pieces), Letter Box Plate Compatible with Any Door Type, 13 in. H 4.3 out of 5 stars 34. Brass Plated Mail Letter Slot Fits All Wood & Metal Doors 3' X 10' Inside Opening: 1-5/8' X 7-3/4' Steel Spring Loaded Flap.

It bugs me, but what am I going to do?

As a result, one thing that always fascinates me are people who get their mail delivered right through their front door. You know, those mail slots built right into the door…

I love those!

I am going to suspend reality for a moment and not think about the fact that my dog Edgar would go absolutely berserk every time the our Mail Carrier put mail in and I am not going to mention how much the perceived energy loss through the mail opening would cause my husband to complain incessantly… …for now I am just going to showcase lovely doors with mailbox slots.

Enjoy!

  1. If you have mail delivered directly to your door, install a mail slot. This eliminates the need for a wall-hanging mailbox and allows your mail to be placed securely behind a locked door.

  3. A steady push to the bottom of the jamb with the motor revving finishes the slot on that side. Repeat the process on the opposite side jamb and the head jamb. If the shop vacuum leaves any wood chips in the slot, Tom gently cleans them out with a small screwdriver before he continues to weatherstrip the door. Step 3 Insert the weatherstripping.
