How to replace a door latch?
On MeterBoxesDirect, the latch is provided with all the doors. However, if you need to replace it, remove the broken one, all you need to do is follow a 2 steps process as described below:
1- Place the latch section on the inside of the door.
2- From the outside of the door, insert the wavy washer and then the latch post clicking into place.
The latch sold on MeterBoxesDirect is a universal locking mechanism. It will suit to most of gas and electric meter box doors. The 2 steps are easy to follow and so the replacement is quick. The latches are also hard wearing.
Each door lock kit contains a wavy washer, a star lock washer and a lock. The 3 pieces needed are sold together in a single pack. You will find them in our Meter Box Repair Kit as well.
The measurements of a latch are 40mm high, 21.5mm wide and 3.3mm thickness.
