High Security TS008 Letterplate for Timber Doors

The AR708HS is a TS008 letter plate, tested to the 2022 standard. TS008 is the recognised security standard for letter plates, letter boxes, and post boxes. It includes rigorous testing against physical attacks and fishing attempts used to access the keys, valuables, or the door lock through the letter plate aperture.

Designed to meet these demands, the AR708HS incorporates an S-shaped internal sleeve that guides mail downward, reducing visibility and obstructing reach through attacks. This built-in deflection helps close off a common entry point exploited by intruders.

To further enhance security, the internal flap is limited by side-mounted guiding arms, mechanically restricting its opening angle. This controlled movement allows mail to pass through easily while preventing unauthorised access, ensuring daily functionality without compromising protection.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Use

The flap has been cycle tested 20,000 times in line with TS008:2022 requirements, demonstrating long-term durability. The bolt-through fixing method provides a strong, secure installation. Manufactured from zinc, the ARRONE AR708HS offers a robust and corrosion-resistant construction. It has been corrosion tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 3 (96 hours). 

This makes it suitable for long-term use on external timber doors, even in more demanding environmental conditions.

Finish Options

The AR708HS is available in a variety of solid finishes or choose an option with a white internal flap, making it compatible with a wide range of external door styles. This design flexibility allows specifiers and installers to maintain strict security standards while aligning with the overall aesthetics of the door and building.

Whether you're upgrading an existing door or fitting a new one, options such as anthracite grey, satin chrome, or white and brass offer versatility to match existing door hardware and create a coordinated finish. These finish choices ensure that enhanced security doesn’t come at the expense of design, making the AR708HS a practical solution for both residential and commercial applications.
