Sounds like a need to expose 240v
somewhere.
I think the keys are readily available, so
not
even pliers are needed.
Why not ask your leccy supplier. I am sure
its
not a new problem.

Subject: [ukha_d] Electricity Boxes -
Ownership ?
It seems the young kids of the village have a new game,
it's called
switching off people's MAINS POWER.
I live in a
newish
house, and the electricity box and meter are
mounted at the front of
the
house next to the garage.
The box uses those triangle shaped keys,
but
are very easy to open
with a pair of long-nose pliers.
I want to
be
able to secure the box, but i'm not sure on the
legality, as I think
the
box is actually owned by Manweb.
Choices are to put a lock barrel
on,
or a magnetic lock.
Problem is, that the elctricity board come to
read
the meter, and I
don't think they will be too happy about not being
able
to access it.
Any ideas ?
