My Internet-based hunt for suitable overboxes yielded JML Hardware as a market leader for four reasons. Since such meter box repairs are the responsibility of the house owner, the only sensible option is to put overboxes on the existing recessed-cavity parts. This would be a very expensive exercise and, if the plastic Mitras boxes were to be used again, the story would repeat itself in a few years time. This would require qualified electrical / gas installers removing the meters, pulling out the recessed meters and putting in new recessed meter boxes. In 2021, the hinges of both meter boxes finally expired and the doors were blown off for good so it would seem that both recessed boxes would have to be replaced. The unlocked doors would flap in the wind and the hinges would deteriorate both in the recessed-cavity part and on the outside doors. Over the few years this house has been standing, the meter readers would seldom bother to shut the meter doors properly after taking the reading which could perhaps be partly justified by the poor quality of the Mitras plastic locks. These Mitras boxes (gas: G01134, electricity: M01126) are made of plastic, have flimsy hinges and one (plastic) lock whilst costing not a little. I have bought a nice modern house, built in 2014, which - unfortunately - had Mitras recessed meter boxes installed. Smashing job Phil, you and the rest at JML should be proud of yourselves, your level of service is becoming increasingly hard to find. Great customer service, outstanding quality, and a rapid delivery time………….I’ll not hesitate to recommend you to others. My company deals with complete grounds maintenance, and I’ll be coming to jml hardware before I go anywhere else in future, should I need a product in your range. Well, after two whole days of trawling the internet for several different products, by many different suppliers, and the (excuse deleted) clusterf**k of problems I’ve had dealing with unreliable suppliers, and staff who haven’t got a clue, it has made a pleasant change to find a company that does care about it’s customers I believe it was you that I spoke to………….Įxcellent, they arrived this afternoon and are exactly what I ordered. I ordered 2x (150x155mm) black pipepro soil stack protectors from your company jml hardware over the phone yesterday. Due to the nature of the material used in manufacturing, these may have cosmetic imperfections including scuffs and scratches.It’s Ben Mills. Please Note: Meter Boxes are for outdoor use.
