DAD and Decayeux Mailbox Alternatives, Locks and Replacement Parts
Looking for an alternative to a DAD or Decayeux mailbox? If you are having difficulty sourcing a DAD or Decayeux letterbox, replacement lock or spare part, Letterbox4you can help you identify a suitable alternative.
We support architects, contractors, housing providers, managing agents and property owners with both new projects and existing mailbox installations. Our team can review the original DAD model reference, drawings, photographs and dimensions before recommending the closest suitable solution from our extensive range of European-manufactured letterboxes.
This includes alternatives for individual post boxes, banks of communal mailboxes and, in particular, through-the-wall mailbox systems designed around dimensions used in established DAD installations.

Through-the-Wall Systems
Through-the-wall alternatives matching DAD dimensions
Through-the-wall letterboxes are often incorporated into brickwork, entrance panels, doors or other purpose-made openings. Product dimensions and configuration are therefore especially important when an existing model is no longer readily available.
We have discussed these requirements directly with our manufacturing partners and can offer a range of through-the-wall mailbox systems that match or closely correspond with the dimensions of selected DAD and Decayeux products.
Depending on the original installation, available options may include:
- Front mail delivery with rear retrieval
- Adjustable or telescopic mailbox depth
- Individual letterboxes and pre-assembled banks
- Installation within walls, entrance panels or purpose-made surrounds
- Internal and external applications
- A choice of standard and bespoke RAL colours
- Number engraving and other personalisation options
- Master-key systems for communal developments
Before recommending a product, we will compare the original model and project requirements with the proposed alternative. This helps establish whether existing openings and drawings can be retained or whether adaptations may be required.
Locks & Replacement Parts
Replacement locks and parts for DAD mailboxes
Many DAD mailboxes remain installed in apartment buildings and residential developments throughout the UK. A missing key, worn lock or damaged component does not necessarily mean that the complete mailbox bank needs to be replaced.
We are working with our suppliers to identify replacement locks and components suitable for a range of existing DAD and Decayeux mailboxes. Compatibility can vary between models and production periods, so we will need to identify the existing part before confirming a replacement.
Please provide as much of the following information as possible:
- DAD or Decayeux model reference
- Photograph of the complete mailbox
- Clear photographs of the lock or damaged component
- Photograph of the rear of the lock, where safely accessible
- Measurements of the lock or component
- Any number or reference marked on the part
- Number of replacements required
- Delivery postcode
If you do not know the model reference, send us photographs and measurements. Our team will assess the information and determine whether a suitable replacement is available.
For the Trade
Alternatives for architects, contractors and specifiers
When a DAD mailbox has already been included in a project specification, changing supplier should not mean starting the design process again.
Send us the existing mailbox schedule, product reference or relevant drawings and we will review:
- Overall mailbox dimensions
- Individual compartment dimensions
- Mail delivery and retrieval direction
- Installation method
- Structural or panel opening
- Required mailbox capacity
- Internal or external location
- Finish and RAL colour
- Numbering and identification requirements
- Locking and master-key requirements
- Applicable performance or fire-resistance requirements
We will then recommend the closest suitable alternative and provide the available technical information for your project. Where no standard product is appropriate, we can discuss a bespoke solution with our manufacturing partners.
Existing Installations
Support for existing developments
We can also help when DAD mailboxes are already installed within a building.
This may include replacing damaged units, finding locks or components, extending an existing installation or supplying mailboxes for a later phase of a development. Matching the appearance of an older installation will depend on the original model, finish and age, but we will assess the available information and explain the most practical options.
For larger replacement projects, we can review the complete installation and propose a new system suited to the existing space, access requirements and budget.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can you supply DAD or Decayeux mailboxes?
Letterbox4you supplies alternative mailbox systems manufactured by established European manufacturers. We do not manufacture DAD or Decayeux products, but we can assess your requirements and recommend the closest suitable alternative from our available ranges.
Can you provide a mailbox with the same dimensions as a DAD model?
We can offer products matching or closely corresponding with the dimensions of selected DAD mailbox models, particularly through-the-wall configurations. Compatibility and installation requirements must be checked for each project before an alternative is confirmed.
Will the alternative fit the existing opening?
It may be possible to retain an existing opening when the proposed alternative has corresponding dimensions. However, we must also consider the frame, fixings, clearances, mail aperture and retrieval door. Please send us the original drawings or accurate measurements so these details can be reviewed.
Can you replace a lock in an existing DAD mailbox?
We are working to identify replacement locks for selected DAD and Decayeux mailbox models. Please send photographs, measurements and any visible references through the enquiry form. We will confirm availability and compatibility before recommending a lock.
Can you provide replacement DAD mailbox keys?
Key availability depends on the lock type and whether its key reference can be identified. If replacement keys are unavailable, it may still be possible to replace the complete lock.
Can you replace a damaged door or other mailbox component?
This will depend on the mailbox model and the component required. Send us photographs, measurements and the original model reference, where available. We will assess whether an appropriate replacement part can be sourced or manufactured.
Can you match the colour of an existing DAD mailbox installation?
We offer a wide selection of standard and bespoke RAL powder-coated finishes. We can match a known RAL reference, but an older installation may have changed slightly through age, weathering or exposure to sunlight. A precise visual match therefore cannot always be guaranteed.
Can you help with a DAD mailbox already specified for a project?
Yes. Send us the specification, mailbox schedule or drawings and we will identify the closest suitable alternative. We can provide product dimensions and available technical information to support the proposed substitution.
Do you offer complete communal mailbox banks?
Yes. We supply individual letterboxes and pre-assembled communal mailbox banks for flats, apartments, student accommodation, offices and other multi-occupancy buildings. Available configurations include wall-mounted, recessed, free-standing, panel-mounted and through-the-wall systems.
