When it comes to business or home maintenance, your mailbox is probably not the first thing on the top of your list. Mailboxes can tend to go unnoticed. It is easy to forget how important these everyday objects are to your business and its privacy. AST London provides and installs a variety of mailboxes, and we are pleased to offer a few essential tips to help you maintain yours.

The Importance of Letterboxes

When you remember how important your letterboxes and mailboxes are, you are unlikely to neglect their maintenance. Your mailboxes are the means by which important documents are delivered to your business or home. They also help protect your business’s privacy and safeguard your data. Mailboxes should be installed with maximum security in mind, and then maintained accordingly.

Mailbox Maintenance Tips

Be sure to check your letterboxes regularly for any signs of damage, wear or tampering. If you are using a robust steel mailbox, especially with a through-the-wall design, you are not likely to face many maintenance demands on a regular basis. However, over time, even the best products can start to show signs of use. Check both sides of the mailbox – the receiving and retrieving ends – for any signs of rust, dents or damage. On the front end, inspect the mail slot, flap or grill to ensure that it still opens or closes as it should. You may need to refinish the mailbox, which could mean a simple coat of fresh enamel paint, or you may have to call out a maintenance professional to touch up the outer surface for you.

Check all locks to ensure that they are still intact. If there has been any tampering, an AST technician can easily come out and fit a new lock for you.
