Deltana MSH158U3 Letter Box Hood Bright Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA MSH158U3 is a letter box hood designed for installation on exterior doors and entryway surfaces where a mail slot is present. The hood mounts over the interior or exterior face of a letter plate opening to shield against drafts, weather intrusion, and debris. It is finished in Bright Brass, giving it a polished, traditional appearance suited to residential and light commercial entry applications. At 12.6 inches in length and 2 inches in height, this hood fits standard letter box openings and installs cleanly without modification in most cases. Carpenters, finish contractors, and door hardware installers handle this type of fitting as part of new door prep or hardware replacement work.

This letter box hood is appropriate for residential exterior doors, apartment entry doors, and light commercial applications where a mail slot is specified. It pairs with compatible letter plates and boxes to complete a finished mail slot assembly. The Bright Brass finish coordinates with door hardware sets in brass or gold-toned finishes. The hood serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, concealing the rough opening edge while providing a finished profile on the door face.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, finish contractors, or experienced DIYers as part of door hardware fitting. Ensure the letter box opening dimensions match the hood footprint before fastening. Use appropriate fasteners for the door material — wood, fiberglass, or steel — and confirm alignment with any interior letter plate before final tightening. No power tools are typically required beyond a drill for pilot holes.
