From time to time serious house fires are caused by flamable substances
being pushed through letter boxes. Homes in many other countries do not
have these apertures in their front doors, but instead have a separate
metal
box or cassette of boxes if flats.

Is the provision of a letter box in the front door a legal requirement in
the UK ?

If provision of a letter box is a requirement, now that the post office
counters have a plastic size template limiting the size for first class
minimum postage letter to a narrow slot of 165 mmm x 5 mm, perhaps we can
reduce our aperture to that size and still meet the regulation.

Regrettably even this would not stop junk mail coming through it.

Be sure to remove your windows and brick up the holes too. Many fires
are caused by people smashing windows and throwing substances in. The
same goes for your doors, have them removed and the holes bricked up!


if you seal it airtight
and pump out all the air
then fire wont spread in a vacuum.
