Deltana MSH158CR003 Letter Box Hood Lifetime Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA MSH158CR003 is a letter box hood designed to protect mail slot openings from weather, debris, and moisture. Mounted to the exterior face of a door or wall, the hood deflects rain and wind away from the mail slot opening below it. Finished in Lifetime Brass, this hood delivers long-term corrosion resistance suited to exterior applications. It measures 12.5 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, keeping a low profile against the door surface. Architectural hardware installers and general contractors typically specify this piece during door hardware rough-in or finish trim phases.

The MSH158CR003 is used in residential and light commercial entry door applications where a mail slot is installed through the door or adjacent wall panel. It mounts on the exterior side of the opening to serve as a weather shield for the mail slot below. The Lifetime Brass finish is suited to exterior environments where consistent appearance and finish durability are required over time.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, door hardware specialist, or general contractor during door hardware installation. Mount the hood on the exterior door face above the mail slot opening using the provided or specified fasteners appropriate for the door material. Ensure the door surface is clean and flat before mounting to achieve a secure, weather-tight fit. Do not overtighten fasteners on hollow-core or thin-panel doors to avoid surface damage.
