Default Letter boxes, legal requirement ?

At one place in Nottingham I lived at I made a suitable slotted lockable
box and fastened it to the wall outside the front door and sealed up the
letter slot in the front door. A number of people in the area had
fireworks etc put through their letter box. I read of someone dying in
the UK the other day as a result of this sort of behaviour.

Since moving to France its the standard metal box next to the front gate.
