Reviews:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I needed to replace the door latch on my meter box as it was so old and worn that the triangular end of the spigot was actually circular. The local builders merchants claimed that it was necessary to buy a complete box door (!). I found what I needed on your very informative website, ordered the replacement part which arrived very quickly. It took longer to get the part out of the jiffy bag than it did to fit it. Thank you very much indeed for your excellent service.
