Why aren't they lockable? Our gas meter hatch has a lock, as did the

Define "lock".

All the utility cupboards I have ever looked at have nothing more than
a door latch. OK you need a "special" tool to operate the latch but
you can buy them for a quid or two in most DIY sheds...

A "lock" in my book requires a key that cannot be bought as a generic
"match all" tool.
