Ives 620B26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size opening do I need to cut for an Ives 620 mail slot?
The Ives 620 letter box plate measures W: 13 inches, H: 3-9/16 inches overall, so the door cutout and the mounting holes both fall inside that footprint. Cut the slot using the manufacturer's template rather than scaling off the plate size, since the plate overlaps the opening on all four sides. On a narrow stile aluminum or hollow metal door, lay the 13 inch width across the face first and confirm you have flat surface for the full plate before you cut.
2) Does the Ives 620 mail slot come with mounting screws, or do I need to order hardware separately?
Fasteners for wood doors are packed with the 620. If you want through bolt mounting, which is what you use on a metal door or anywhere the slot takes abuse, that hardware is the Ives 09-355 and it is ordered separately. Decide that before the order goes in, because it is the difference between a one trip install and a return visit.
3) Does the Ives 620 letter box plate meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial specification?
It is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 and carries the L26031 designation, and it is a commercial rated product rather than a residential one. That is the line item a spec writer or a government, healthcare or school buyer needs to see on a submittal for door trim.
4) I am standardizing mail slots across a multi-tenant building. Will every Ives 620 cut the same opening?
Yes. All eight finishes are the same 620 plate at W: 13 inches, H: 3-9/16 inches, so one template and one cutout works across every door regardless of which finish goes on which unit. That lets you mix finishes by building or floor without changing the door prep, and it means a replacement plate years from now drops into the existing hole.
5) What finishes does the Ives 620 mail slot come in, and can I match the other hardware on the building?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 609 blackened brass, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 clear anodized aluminum, and 643E aged bronze. For a fleet of doors where the levers and pulls are already 626 satin chrome or 605 bright brass, order the matching number and the slot will read as part of the same set.
6) Is the Ives 620 brass or aluminum?
Both substrates are made. The brass bodied version carries the plated and brass finishes (605, 609, 619, 625, 626, 643E and matte black, all with a 620B part prefix), while 628 clear anodized is the aluminum one, part number 620P-A28. If the door is on a coastal or high exposure elevation, the substrate choice matters as much as the finish name.
7) Will a mail slot keep weather out of the unit, or do I need a hooded exterior box?
The 620 has a spring loaded front plate that closes itself after each delivery, and a clean edge at the opening so the interior is not left exposed to the outdoors. It is classed as exterior door hardware. That handles a through the door mail drop on a tenant or office entrance. It does not replace a locked exterior collection box where mail sits outside until someone retrieves it.
8) For a commercial multi-tenant building standardizing mail slots, which is the better fit between the Ives 620 and the Emtek 2280?
For facility standardization, the Ives 620 is the one built around a commercial callout: it is designated commercial hardware, carries ANSI/BHMA A156.16 with the L26031 designation, and is available in eight finishes ranging from 605 bright brass and 625 bright chrome to 622 matte black and 628 clear anodized aluminum, which lets a facility match slots to existing door hardware across a portfolio. The Emtek 2280 is a solid brass mail slot in the same size range and suits an entry where a single solid brass slot is what the design calls for. An institutional buyer writing a spec that references A156.16 will find that language on the 620.
9) Does the Emtek 2280 have a spring-loaded front plate like the Ives 620?
The Ives 620 uses a spring-loaded front plate that closes automatically after mail is inserted, which is what keeps weather and draft out of the interior between deliveries. The Emtek 2280 is a solid brass mail slot in the same size class. If the automatic closing flap is the functional requirement for the opening, for example an exterior door on a heated corridor, the 620 is the part that describes that mechanism. Confirm flap behavior against the Emtek documentation before treating the two as functionally interchangeable on an exterior application.
