Robust Metal Meter Box Latch - Ideal for Securely Locking Gas and Electric Meter Boxes - Easy DIY Installation - Durable Replacement for Damaged Latches - Repair My Meter Box

Perfect fit and much better than the plastic alternative. Highly recommended

This was to replace a plastic version which had been replaced several times after breaking.

Perfect. Does the job. Tried other plastic ones before that fell apart.

Very robust and easy to fit, far better than the original latch

The latch appeared to be quite substantial. I believe it is made from zinc alloy which is what Corgi and Dinky toy cars were made from. Much better than plastic which disintegrates in sunlight. The part that I wasn't happy with was the three pronged washer which should press over the spring washer and hold everything together. It appeared to be fairly soft metal and I had to remove it several times as the prongs had misshaped and weren't gripping. On about the third rebending they seemed better but I wasn't happy. I think there might be a call back with this. I think the clip should have been more spring like.

Absolutely perfect. Fits our standard electricity meter latch and is a sturdy replacement for the old one we had that broke. It is quick and easy to install.

Works fine. Box now opens/closes ok.

Some ham-fisted meter reader managed to snap the end of the triangular post off ages ago and naturally didn’t see fit to own to it. I struggled in for ages with the remainder getting smaller and harder to grip each time I opened the lock. This replacement part was fitted in 2 mins and will clearly last indefinitely. TIP - the wavy spring washers take up valuable post length and I found it best to leave them off completely. There is very little friction when opening the lock so they are not really needed.
