Safety Letterbox discussed the design, layout, and fire specifications of the project. After a few options were presented, the client chose our FR2 mailbox. The FR2 mailbox is a horizontal in front/ out front 2-hour fire-rated (integrity only) mailbox.

Our 2-hour fire-rated mailbox range are commonly used within an evacuation route as they can hold back a fire or contain a fire for at least 2 hours, satisfying building and fire regulations.

The mailboxes were powder coated in a special colour – MATT Pearl Gold (RAL 1036) giving the mailboxes a stunning high-end aesthetic finish whilst being practical and completely secure. Multiple keys were also supplied, and doors were engraved for easy identification.
