Meter box repair kit
for broken doors
A broken meter box door doesn't always mean you need a costly replacement cabinet. In many cases the original hinge has failed and the door itself is still perfectly usable. A repair kit targets the failed part only.
What does a repair kit fix?
Most failed meter box doors have the same basic problem: the original hinge points have cracked, worn away, rusted or snapped. The MeterBoxFix repair hinge creates a new secure hinge point so the door can open and close again.
- Broken or cracked hinge points
- Missing hinge pins
- Door hanging loose or at an angle
- Door held on with gaffer tape
- Cracked hinge mounting area
- Hinge worn away through age or weather
Why use a repair kit rather than replacing the box?
Repair the failed hinge instead of replacing the whole meter box enclosure saving significant time and cost.
No special tools. Position, select fixing holes, pre-drill and secure using the included screws. Takes around 10 minutes.
Designed for tight, flush and awkward UK gas and electric meter box installations where standard hinges won't fit.
One hinge and four self-tapping screws everything you need in one pack, delivered free across the UK.
UK designed and made. The MeterBoxFix V2 hinge features a wider centre section for improved strength over the original version based on real customer feedback.
Frequently asked questions
Can a broken meter box door be repaired?
Yes. If the door and cabinet are still broadly intact, the failed hinge area can often be repaired without replacing the entire enclosure. The MeterBoxFix hinge is designed for exactly this.
Is this better than tape?
Significantly. Gaffer tape can be a short-term bodge, but it usually fails outdoors as adhesive weakens with weather exposure. A repair hinge is neater, stronger and permanent.
Does it work on gas and electric meter boxes?
Yes, the MeterBoxFix hinge is designed for most common UK gas and electric meter boxes, including recessed, surface-mounted, flush and awkward installations.
What if I have a particularly heavy door?
If your door is heavy or both original hinges have failed, fitting two repair hinges one at the top and one at the bottom gives a more secure result. Multi-buy discounts are available on eBay.
