Safeware adds Yale Postmaster TS008 slim letterplate

Hardware supplier Safeware has expanded its portfolio with the addition of the Yale Postmaster Professional TS008 slim letterplate.

Rob Hartill, Safeware’s commercial director, said: “The Yale Postmaster slim letterplate combines sophisticated security features with the exceptional quality Yale is known for. Add in straightforward installation and it’s a product our customers value both on-site and in use.”

Designed for timber and composite doors, the Yale Postmaster Professional slim letterplate delivers full TS008 compliance, with an adjustable channel design that accommodates door thicknesses between 44mm and 63mm. Dual side plate shields automatically extend when the internal flap is opened, blocking external access to the door’s thumb turn or key, while Yale’s CombShield technology obstructs visibility through the letterplate to prevent intruders from locating keys or valuables. Together with a positive stop flap, these features provide strong defence against fishing attacks.

The letterplate has been rigorously tested and meets the requirements of TS008:2022 accreditation, PAS 24:2022 and Approved Document Q. It also meets the stringent requirements of FD30 fire ratings when tested as part of a doorset, in line with BS 476-22 and EN 1363-1 fire resistance standards.

Manufactured from Austenitic 304 stainless steel, the external flap has been tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance, withstanding more than 1,000 hours of neutral salt spray testing. The unit has also been endurance tested to 20,000 operational cycles which is equivalent to more than five decades of daily use, ensuring long-term reliability. A full gasket provides complete weatherproofing.

Reflecting its quality and durability, the letterplate comes with a 10-year mechanical and a 25-year surface finish guarantee.
