Blocking letterbox on door

irishguy

I am looking to get a plate to block out my letterbox on my door, but I don't seem to be able to find them. I assume someone makes them?

It currently looks like this, anyone any ideas.

No suggestions on where I could buy a blank plate which looks similar?

If its timber door you could use a finger plate. They are slightly bigger than a post box slot. Just put a bead of silicone around the inside of the plate before screwing in to keep the draft out.

B&Q sell them.
