Abstract
A pedestal closure assembly has an upper housing section and a separate lower housing section, each of which include front walls, rear walls, and two side walls. These housing sections are structured and dimensioned for telescoping nesting with first and second positive locking mechanisms for a friction fit. These housing sections when locked together form an integral housing structure which has an interior space for protectively accommodating electrical, power supply or telecommunications equipment. This housing structure may be constructed of non-metallic material. The first positive locking mechanism and second locking mechanism may be positioned across from each other on opposite side walls of the housing sections, and, even more preferably, may be aligned diagonally from each other on opposite side walls of the housing sections. The lower housing section may include raised ribs to enhance the friction fit of the assembled housing sections.
