**Adhering the faceplate to the wall**
For custom laser cut faceplates, please make double sure that the faceplate has enough adhesive to independently support itself. When we manufacture laser cut faceplates, they are stuck to the box with heavy duty double sided tape. While this is very sturdy we have seen the faceplate detach from the box when too much weight or pressure is put upon it, or excessive heat wears down the tape. If the faceplate has adequate adhesive (liquid nails, t-rex etc.) sticking it to the wall or fence, and the box is snug and properly secured in its cavity, you shouldn't see any issues.
Equipment Needed

- Self tapping Tek Screws

Letterbox Location
Firstly, the location of your letterbox is important. Australia Post regulates that the slot should be somewhere between 900mm and 1200mm from the ground. Posties should have clear and unhindered access to the slot and it should ideally be located as close to the footpath as possible.
