Abstract
A housing for receiving a lock of the so-called 'barrel-lock' type for locking the hinged cover of an electric meter box or the like. The housing comprises a support block for attachment to the meter box, and a housing hinged to the block. The housing carries a meter box cover retainer which, when the housing is in the closed condition, extends in front of the cover to prevent it from being opened. Also when the housing is in the closed condition, the housing and the support block have aligned apertures to receive a lock of the 'barrel-lock' type.
