Draught reduction – thanks to the telescopic sleeved fitting
An adjustable sleeve accepts door thicknesses from 20 to 40mm, allowing the internal and external sleeves to clamp together securely. The enclosed sleeve reduces gaps around the cut-out to limit airflow.
Reduced cold draughts and a tidier threshold, helping hallways feel warmer and less drafty.

Both external and internal flaps are formed from aluminium for strength, seated within a black plastic frame designed to resist scratches. Flaps open to 180 degrees and incorporate a patented anti-snap design to prevent breakage.
Letters and small parcels pass through smoothly while the hardware resists wear, cutting down on replacement and maintenance.
Quick fitting – with telescopic sleeves and supplied fixings
Installation is performed by inserting the internal and external sleeves into the door and tightening the supplied screws. The telescopic sleeve means no bespoke shimming for doors within the 20–40mm range.
A straightforward job for DIYers or tradespeople, allowing a secure retrofit on compatible uPVC panel doors.
