Total cost £1700. Should look far better than the dated uPVC one we currently have.
This is the door I wanted. Until I saw the price. And realised I didn't want a new door that much!

I do wonder if £1700 could be spent better
But the Mrs has her heart set on it, so...Plus side. Your letter box look GD safe down that low!I do wonder if £1700 could be spent better
Actually. Do postmen get ****** off with these letter boxes? I mean that's a proper bend to insert job!
They hate them according to my postie! Also really easy for thieves to nick your mail and small parcels. A door with no letter box looks better, just put a post box on the wall next to it.

I saw a door like that on somebody's house and my first thought was for the poor post person.

We worked out it was better to get a catflap that was microchip activated and stick it in the wall

I think glass tends to be quite a bit cheaper than actual solid core door. Probably more expensive than uPVC foam filled though.

Will give them some good stretching exercisesPostman / newspaper delivery is going to hate you
At least it is probably too low to poop

I think building regs for NEW builds have banned low letterboxes due to pressure from Postal unions, you may get post left on your door step...
The government are taking their time with it but it looks like it will be illegal - https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/2336
Hopefully the OP doesn't live where it floods often, the door might have a good seal but I doubt his 'box does.

Wow, lots of people getting hung up over the position of a letterbox
No flooding round here.
Most of what comes through our letterbox these days is pizza flyers, so it may put them off

Tbf it will be outlawed soon enough, so it is a tad short sighted...Wow, lots of people getting hung up over the position of a letterbox

Outlawed? Having your letterbox at the bottom of your door? Seriously? I'd like to see someone from the government come round and tell me I have to move my letterbox
