ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a mail slot mounting assembly which can be easily installed onto the cross-bars of an existing door without the need for welding or extensive cutting operations to the door frame. The mounting assembly has upper and lower face plates each having an inner surface to be mated and a first pair of wall members running longitudinally along and substantially perpendicular to each of said inner surfaces. The inner surfaces of the upper and lower face plates are configured so that, upon mating the face plates, the first pair of wall members align to form outer channel regions extending longitudinally along and perpendicular to the face plates, the outer channel members being adapted to receive mounting members located in a door. The mated face plates are then configured to receive a mail slot apparatus. Another mail slot mounting assembly is also provided which has a face plate with an inner surface and two substantially parallel outer edge surfaces located perpendicular to the inner surface. Each outer edge surface comprises a C-shaped channel flange capable of slideably receiving cross-bar mounting members located in a door. Another mail slot assembly is also provided which has a wall member running substantially parallel with the perimeter pf each face plate such that upon mating, outer channel regions are formed which are capable of receiving and supporting a mail slot apparatus. In another mail slot assembly, a lower face plate is capable of being receivably mated with an upper face plate.
