POST BOX PROBLEM....SORTED 350/365

Taken in Trafford park Manchester.

This Franked mail box is opened at dinnertime by myself and closed again at night after the last collection.

To open it, you open the door and a catch under the chute is released at night the catch is locked which locks the chute.

I opened it yesterday and whilst i was doing my round a customer said that they had tried to post Franked mail the night before but the chute would not open, i went back to the box i had just opened to see if it was ok but the chute was stuck.

on investigation the catch had been bent somehow, i manage to get it working with the help of my Leatherman multitool.

This morning i took a proper pair of pliers and some WD 40 I fixed the catch properly

I oiled it now it works like a dream.
