First manufacturer to achieve the new letterbox standard TS009:2012

DAD - A Decayeux Company News and PR from DAD - A Decayeux Company - Published 20 February 2013 DAD UK is the first manufacturer to launch a letterbox complying with TS009:2012 Class 2. The DAD009 letterbox is the only Certified Secured By Design letterbox.
Why the new standard?

The need for the new spec arose when the Secured by Design began to express concern about the security of mailboxes, particularly with regards to identity theft. Some mailboxes were being subjected to mail theft either from direct break in, or from "fishing" through the mail slot.

The new TS009:2012 sets out a new test and expectations for mailboxes. Products meeting DHF TS009:2012 provide resistance to forced entry using physical force and a variety of tools for either 30 seconds or 60 seconds total attack time.

DAD was able to enter discussion with Secured by Design in order to provide a solution to mail theft. DAD has manufactured the first letterbox certified to TS009:2012. Made of steel, with a patented locking mechanism and a DAD lock complying to EN1303 (offering over 30,000 variations and the possibility of an integration into a master key system), the mail is now safe. This letterbox can be integrated into the design of any building, with a choice of fittings.
We finally have a letterbox that will prevent theft of mail and ID theft.
