I wonder if anyone could offer some thoughts on the following.

In my front door (uPVC and metal) the letterbox has a sprung
side with brush-type draught excluders and an unsprung side.
The sprung side you lift against the spring, rather than push
against the spring, if you see what I mean.

Anyway, the sprung side is currently on the inside of the door,
so when it is windy the unsprung side flaps about outside in
the elements. Annoying. It seems to me that this has
probably just been installed backwards, does that seem
right? The only thing that gives me pause is having the
brush things on the outside but maybe they can be
separately installed after the flaps ? I need to have a look
at it later really. Would be grateful for any opinions.

Both plates should have a spring on them but if its bothering you switch the
plates round as both are/should be identical.
