How To Measure My Damaged Meter Box?

FAQs Meter Box Repair

Measure your existing, damaged Meter Box by taking the 3  external measurements as indicated below.

Note whether it is gas or electric - (Gas need louvred doors for ventilation)

When measuring a damaged meter box, it is very important that you measure carefully, without adding any extra to the height, width and depth. 

Please note the depth is only what is protruding from the wall.

    The lock on my electric meter box is broken. I have sent the measurements of the box to your online chat but there are no matching electric meter box covers. The meter was put in 1985 and it is called a Derwent. I think I will measure it again. I wonder if I could simply get a replacement lock for it, and not a whole doorr.
