Emtek 2280-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door thickness does this Emtek mail slot accommodate?
The Emtek 2280 mail slot fits doors 1-3/8" to 2-1/4" thick. Verify your door thickness before ordering. Thinner or thicker doors may require different models.
2) What are the rough opening dimensions needed?
The mail slot requires a 3-3/8" x 13-1/16" opening. Use the manufacturer's template for precise cutting. Check door construction before cutting to avoid hitting rails or stiles.
3) Is this mail slot suitable for exterior doors?
Yes, this solid brass construction handles exterior use. The mail slot includes weather sealing. Install with flap facing inward to prevent water infiltration.
4) Does it include both interior and exterior plates?
Yes, the Emtek 2280 includes both exterior and interior plates with spring-loaded flaps. All mounting hardware is included for complete installation.
5) What finish options are available for this model?
This model comes in solid brass finish. Check with Emtek products for other finish options in their mail slot line if different finishes are needed.
6) Can this be installed in fiberglass or steel doors?
Installation is possible in solid fiberglass or steel doors with proper tools. Hollow core doors require reinforcement. Consult door manufacturer for structural integrity guidelines.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires a jigsaw or router, drill with bits, measuring tools, and chisel for fine fitting. Use appropriate cutting tools for your door material type.
8) How do the spring-loaded flaps operate?
Both flaps spring closed automatically after mail delivery. The exterior flap opens inward for mail insertion. The interior flap prevents drafts and provides security.
9) What is the maximum mail size this slot accepts?
The 3-3/8" x 13-1/16" opening accommodates standard letters and small packages. Large packages will not fit. Check postal service requirements for residential mail slot dimensions.
10) How is the solid brass construction maintained?
Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the brass finish. Apply brass cleaner periodically for exterior installations to maintain appearance.
11) Are there code requirements for mail slots?
Local building codes may regulate mail slot installation in fire-rated doors. Check with local authorities before installation. Some areas restrict modifications to exterior doors.
12) What door height works best for installation?
Install 30" to 45" from the floor for accessibility compliance. This height allows mail carriers easy access while keeping mail secure inside. Verify local postal service height requirements.
