The Homeguard Plus is a high-security letterbox protection system specifically engineered to defend properties against arson and anti-social behaviour. It is designed for installations where there is a heightened risk of fire or targeted attacks, providing an active fire suppression solution that functions automatically without the need for manual intervention.
At the core of the system is a heat detection tube. If an ignition source, such as a firework or flammable liquid, is introduced through the letterbox, the tube is instantly activated by the heat. This releases a fire extinguishant directly into the mailbag, quickly and effectively neutralising the fire before it can spread to the rest of the property. The bag itself is constructed from fireproof materials to contain any heat or flames.
Beyond fire protection, the system enhances general home security. By collecting post in a secure bag, it keeps mail out of sight and off the floor, preventing potential burglars from identifying an unoccupied home by an accumulation of post. The letterbox plate can be locked shut to prevent anything from being inserted, and the mailbag itself is compatible with a padlock to protect against the theft of sensitive documents and identity fraud.
The Homeguard Plus is designed for easy installation and can be fitted in minutes to most standard doors, including uPVC. It is an ideal solution for domestic properties, commercial premises, and vacant buildings requiring a robust security upgrade.
