Our doors can hang either way but you have to rotate the door for the hinges to be on the other side, sometimes the hinge position on the box frame can change so you must check the hinge positions/measurements.
Hanging a Meter Box
No. All meter boxes are designed to get installed in one particular way. For example, the hinges are on the left- hand side on a UK Standard Recessed Electric Meter Box, so the door must get hinged on the left-hand side.
However, in certain circumstances, especially if replacing an older damaged box or renovating older houses, technically it can be fitted upside down. However, you will be to confirm with your meter equipment provider that they are happy for you to install their equipment that way.
Detailed fitting instructions are supplied with each product and are also downloadable from each product page. For a quick overview on how to fit a meter box door we've created a video guide.
37 General - Meter Boxes
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
To fit a recessed gas meter box to the wall, follow these steps:
1. Build the box into the wall in the position specified, ensuring it does not bridge the damp–proof course.
2. The base and sides of the box should be fully bedded into the mortar to hold it into the wall, with the sides of the architrave touching the outer leaf of the brickwork.
3. A 0.1mm thick polythene sheet or similar, at least 700mm wide, should be fitted as a damp-proof course above and behind the box. Alternatively, a suitable cavity tray may be used.
4. Where a spigot is fitted, build the inner wall around it, filling any space between the spigot and the wall with mortar. (The spigot will be cut flush with the inner finish of the wall by the pipework installer.)
*Full installation guidelines are supplied with the Meter Box*
No, the Large 3 Phase Recessed Electric Meter Box does not require a lintel.
Why would I need to repair or replace my meter box?
Here are the most common reasons that your meter box may need to be repaired or fixed:
- it has become unsightly over time due to wear and tear
- it has been vandalised
- it has broken parts
- the door has fallen away or is damaged
For a complete replacement, see our range of meter boxes here:
To repair your broken meter box, visit our range of meter box replacement tools here.
Yes, the UK Standard Surface Mounted Electric Meter Box (EBP0012) has a solid timber backboard.
Our Meter Boxes are all made of GRP (Glass Reinforced Polymer) and are rated as fire retardant. Please refer to the individual product pages for more details.
Meter boxes rated IP66 are dust-tight and offer excellent protection both indoors and outdoors from the elements. A meter box that satisfies this rating will prevent high-pressure water from entering. Despite IP66 enclosures being waterproof against hose-directed water and falling drops of rain or snow, they are not intended to be submerged in water.
How to calculate the dimensions of my meter box:
By measuring your box's exterior or interior dimensions, you can identify the type of meter box you need. To find the equivalent box on our website, measure your meter box's length, height, and depth with a measuring tape. We would be delighted to assist you if you still havetrouble measuring your meter box. Please contact us for further support.

You will be unable to fit this meter box once the meter has been installed so if you want to change your current meter box to this product you will need to contact your service provider/gas engineer to take the meter out and then reinstall it into the new meter box.
The minimum wall cut out for the EB0011 is 535 x 365 x 150mm. Please see brochure.
Replacing a MK1 gas meter box with the MK2 gas meter box:
This depends. If the MK1 front is damaged and needs replacing, we recommend that you take off the MK1 front and check the gas back. If the gas back is not damaged you do not need to remove it from the wall and can simply use our replacement gas cover for the MK1 to fix your damaged gas box.
However, if the back is damaged, you can buy the replacement MK2 surface gas meter box for a full replacement.
The minimum depth of the wall cut out for GBP0001 is 150mm making the meter box protrude about 60mm from the wall. Please see brochure.

IP rating of our meter boxes
Most of our meter boxes are at least IP43 rated. Some of them are IP65 rated. For our kiosks, they are either IP43 or IP55 rated. To offer our customers the best in class products, we perform monthly water ingress testing on our entire range to ensure all our offerings are compliant with the current European and British standards. You can watch the video of our water ingress testing on our "How To Video" page.
Required clearance around meter boxes/kiosks
Depending on the product, there may be a specification regarding the required clearance issued by the electricity or gas company. It is best to consult with yours, especially for gas meter boxes as only certified gas installers can fit a gas box.
Nonetheless, we do advise as best practice not to place meter boxes under a window. However, sometimes, if you replace damaged products, they will be fitted in the same location as the defective product, and it may already be located under a window due to space constraints.
Freestanding kiosks do not require any special clearance, except for space needed for the opening of the box door and venting (if necessary for a particular application).
Installation of Meter Boxes
There are no specific regulations on who can install meter boxes. As long as it is carried out according to the BS Standards and Utilities Standards, you can even do it yourself using our tutorial videos or our spec sheets which also have fitting instructions.
However, in many cases, if the meter needs to be disconnected or moved, then the installation must be carried out by a regulated and certified company who is qualified to do this. We always advise contacting your utility company.
Painting your Meter Boxes
Yes, you can.
However, take extra care when painting your meter box. Indeed, you have to ensure that the paint you want to use won’t alter the properties of the meter enclosure. For example, particular paints can affect the insulation property of a GRP meter box against both heat and electricity.
Please also note that the paint used for pipes and other outdoor GRP product might not be suitable as the paint has to respect the fire-retardant property of the meter box. Therefore, fire retardant paints can be a viable option to paint meter boxes. However, make sure paint does not block the vents on the unit with drying.
Finally, if the wrong paint type gets applied, the paint might flake off, and the result might not meet your aesthetic expectations or remain intact over time.
Be sure to identify any safety requirements before initiating the painting process fully.
A single-phase electricity supply delivers less power than that of a three-phase. For example, a regular house will need single-phase, while large flats or commercial buildings will require a three-phase.
If your house is using a single-phase supply, your electric installation will have a 100amp fuse. If it is using a three-phase, you will find three 100amp fuses.
The door can be turn upside down to fit.
