The plastic catches for the existing enclosure have now sheared
off, after about 15 years' service. That particular design does
not seem to be around any more.

Any other suggestions?

If the current box is still sound it's not difficult to find over-centre
catches to DIY a repair.

That may well be worth investigation. Any particular
recommendations?


errr, try searching for overcentre catch


Yes, I have done so,and the choice is vast. I was simply
wondering if you had personally done that which you are
suggesting, and been happy with what you used, or simply offering
an option.

They are simple devices, just choose one that will fit whatever space
you've got. Personally, on a box with mains inside, I would want to be
able to padlock the box shut so would choose one with appropriate lugs.
