Protect Your Home with FlapGUARD — The Lockable Letterbox Security Cover

FlapGUARD is a premium lockable letterbox security cover designed to protect your property from unauthorised access, letterbox fishing, and arson attacks through your front door's letter plate.

Made from strong steel and independently accredited to the Sold Secure Domestic Bronze standard, FlapGUARD gives homeowners, landlords, and businesses genuine peace of mind — without disrupting normal mail delivery.

Why Thousands of UK Homes Trust FlapGUARD

Prevents Letterbox Fishing & Theft Letterbox fishing is one of the fastest-growing methods of burglary in the UK. Criminals use hooks and rods pushed through the letter slot to steal keys, wallets, and mail from inside your hallway. FlapGUARD's internal steel barrier blocks this access completely, keeping your valuables safe.

Reduces the Risk of Arson & Dangerous Items From lit materials to fireworks, letterboxes are a known vulnerability — particularly during winter months and bonfire night. FlapGUARD helps prevent dangerous objects from being pushed through your door, offering an extra layer of protection for your family and property.

Normal Mail Delivery Continues Unlike letterbox blanking plates that block all post, FlapGUARD is designed with a generous 315mm × 80mm opening that allows standard letters and small mail items to pass through freely — even while the unit is locked. You stay protected without missing a delivery.

Sold Secure Bronze Accredited FlapGUARD has been independently tested and certified by Sold Secure, one of the UK's most respected security testing bodies. When installed with the included fixing screws, it meets the Sold Secure Domestic Bronze standard — a mark of quality recognised by insurers and police forces across the country.
