Deltana MSH158U5 Letter Box Hood Antique Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA MSH158U5 is a letter box hood finished in antique brass, designed for installation on exterior doors and entryway applications. This hood mounts above a mail slot or letter plate opening to deflect weather and protect the interior from drafts, rain, and debris. It is a solid architectural hardware component intended for installation by finish carpenters, general contractors, or skilled door hardware technicians. Measuring 12.8 inches in length, 3.6 inches in width, and 2 inches in height, it provides a proportionate cover for standard letter box openings. The antique brass finish delivers a traditional aesthetic consistent with period-style and transitional door hardware sets.

This letter box hood is suited for residential and light commercial entry doors where a coordinated hardware finish is required. It installs as a surface-mounted component above the letter plate cutout on the door face. The antique brass finish is appropriate for projects specifying warm-toned door hardware, including applications on wood, fiberglass, and steel entry doors where surface fasteners are compatible with the door material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or door hardware technician using basic hand tools and fasteners appropriate for the door material. Confirm door thickness and letter plate cutout dimensions before mounting to ensure proper alignment and weather coverage. Follow any applicable local building codes for exterior door hardware on rated assemblies. Do not overtighten fasteners on hollow-core or thin-panel doors, as this may compromise the door face.
