Abstract
A locking structure for assembly onto existing electric meter boxes or the like, said structure comprising a bushing for mounting onto the box cover and an apertured bracket for mounting inside the box so that the bracket aperture is aligned with the bushing. The structure is intended to receive a locking cylinder of the type having an enlarged head and an elongated body portion with expansible locking balls near the end remote from the head, and the parts are dimensioned and positioned to retain the cover tightly closed when the locking cylinder is assembled. The bushing completely encloses the head of the locking cylinder so that the other end of the cylinder is recessed in the bushing. Apertures may be provided in opposite sides of the forward end of the bushing to receive a seal transversely across the bushing, so that the locking member cannot be removed without rupturing the seal.
