Mail Slot : What is it?
| Mail slots are the rectangular devices with horizontal openings where mail is inserted. They are installed on front doors or gates of houses and buildings. Metal flaps usually cover the openings to provide protection and security. In most cases, containers are mounted at the back of the mail slots to catch and contain the mail.
