Steel Meter Boxes & Meter Box RepairsElectric & Gas
British Manufacturer Ritherdon design all the steel products detailed within this brochure at their factory in Darwen. Ritherdon therefore can adapt or provide a total new design to be developed with a customer’s particular requirement. Most products are stock items, therefore delivery is usually within 48 hours of receipt of an order. Delivery is made by a courier or via Ritherdons own transport.
As all the Ritherdon units are made from steel, this provides a very robust product and due to the strength of stainless steel, the units will have an extended service life of in excess of 30 years as opposed to the GRP units and aluminium products. There are many associated benefits to using the Ritherdon unit and listed below are a few:-
• No need to contact the utility company as you are not interfering with thegas or electric supply, therefore there are no disconnection or reconnection fees.
• As outlined in the Gas Act 1986, the consumer is responsible for taking care ofthe meter and for ensuring the gas meter is housed correctly.
• IEE Wiring Regulations (17th Edition) state that, ‘a barrier or enclosure shall befirmly secured in place and have sufficient stability and durability to maintainthe required degree of protection and appropriate separation of live parts’.Plastic GRP meter boxes seldom provide the stability, durability and protection that isrequired under these regulations.

The History of Ritherdon & Co Ltd Our company was founded by the Managing Director’s great grandfather, Percy Ritherdon, in Bolton in 1895. Probably due to Percy’s interests in chemistry and magic, the company initially concentrated on electro-plating, but also on making tricks for magicians: a rather unconventional range of products.
In the early 20th century, Ritherdons began to produce more sheet metalwork with “the renowned “Ritho” Steel and Non-Ferrous Products” being advertised in 1929 (electro-plating was gradually phased out through the 1980s and 90s as part of ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental impact).
We moved to our present factory in Lorne St, Darwen in 1947 and our expertise in manufacturing cabinets, control panels and other specialist sheet metalwork took off through the mid 20th century.
In the 1970’s Ritherdons began to work closely with the electricity boards and we developed for them our range of metal meter boxes and the early door and frame units.

The Ritherdon range of replacement doors and frames is a best seller when it comes to repairing damaged glass fibre (GRP) electricity and gas meter boxes. GRP boxes are prone to damage due to wear and tear and also vandalism, resulting in an unsightly, but more importantly, a dangerous condition.
GRP meter boxes come in all shapes and sizes and as market leader, Ritherdon have a complete range of replacement doors and frames to fit all of them.
The units are fabricated using commercial grade stainless steel or electrolytically zinc-coated steel to resist atmospheric corrosion, and coated in white polyester powder to provide a more durable protective finish; but can be painted over should the house owner desire a different colour.
All units are supplied with appropriate fixings for installation, which can be completed in a matter of minutes. It is simply a matter of removing the existing door and fitting the replacement door and frame to the damaged box. If the box is badly damaged, we have another option which is a front fixing unit (R10) that is also easy to fit, but in this case it is fastened to the wall around the box. Also included is an easy-to-handle, long-reach, plastic key to gain entry into the meter box after installation.
To mark our 100-years of Incorporation, Ritherdon & Co were awarded with a Centenary Certificate by Companies House to commemorate our Centenary year.

INSTALLATION
To fit our doors and frames the most you will need is: Drill (inc masonry bit for R10s), screwdriver, possibly pliers (to remove knockouts), sealant (optional) plus some very basic DIY skills. You will not need:Any special tools, specialist contractors, or to pay the utility company to disconnect then reconnect the meter.
STRENGTH
Steel, plus durable powder coating, makes much stronger, therefore, longer-lasting, doors and frames than alternative materials such as GRP or aluminium.
“...the new boxes fit nicely, and are a considerable improvement on what was there before.”Property Services Manager,Langstane Housing Association
“We have previously had problems with the meter cupboards being broken into and causing us immense inconvenience, extra repair costs and loss of rental income due to extra downtime.I am pleased to say that since using the void cover plates none of the properties that these have been fitted to have had any of the issues previously stated.”Electrical Supervisor - Places for People
KEYSEach unit in the range comescomplete with a long reach,easy-to-handle plastic key.
QUICK FITTING Our doors and frames take between about
1 and 15 minutes to fit. Watch our R22 movie on the Meter Box Repair web page at

Cestria Community Housing said:
“Our staff find the Ritherdon door and frame units very easy to measure and fit due to the catalogue that Ritherdon provided. Once fitted, the units are very secure and as a result we have seen a decrease in gas and electricity meter boxes being vandalised – saving us time and money”.
Cardiff Community Housing Association (CCHA) said:
“The purpose for selecting Ritherdon’s meter box repair units was purely based on the design and cost. The units are vandal resistant, secure by design and the paint selection acted as a deterrent for theft due to no magnetism. The units are aesthetically pleasing and give a vast improvement to the façade of the building. The original plastic meter boxes we previously used were forever being broken by tenants and third-parties”.

Repair of floor-mounted or semi-concealed gas boxes - R24
We now have three options for repairing floor-mounted, gas meter boxes:
• Replacement lids - the R24M andR24H lids for repairing Mitras (M) boxesand Hepworth (H) boxes.
• Replacement lid and frame units if thedamage is too great simply to replacethe lid and, again, there are units forMitras (M) and Hepworth (H) boxes.
• Replacement lid and body units forpre-payment meter boxes.
Like the rest of the Ritherdon range, the R24 units greatly increase the longevity and security of the GRP meter box that they repair.
The R24 units are also powder coated brown, so that they match the plastic boxes. As with the rest of the range, fitting the R24s is very easy.
An R24 lid fits the meter box in the same way as the original plastic lid and the lid and frame units fasten through the plastic box with a screw and nut. All the necessary fittings are supplied with the units.

The Fire Seal is a modified version of the existing Ritherdon & Co meter box door and frame units that incorporates multiple fire-resistance design elements, including steel construction, intumescent seals etc. It is designed so that, during a significant fire in a building, it will provide at least 60 minutes mechanical protection (i.e. hold back the flames) and also prevent the transmission of smoke and harmful fumes through any aperture that the unit covers (it doesn’t necessarily have to be a meter enclosure).
The Fire Sealed Unit is tested in accordance with BS EN 1366-3:2009 and BS EN 1363-1:2012 and demonstrated to provide protection against fire penetration for >60minutes from either side of the unit. This can be used with reference to the guidance in the BS9999 Code of Practice (Fire Safety in the Design, Management and Use of Buildings)

“In order to support assessment in the increase of the scope of application of the various Ritherdon units in the full range of orientation and construction scenarios, the direct field of application guidelines given within BSEN 1366-3: 2009 and extended field of application rules given within BS EN 15269-1: 2010 have been used as a basis for extending the scope of application from that which was tested. The following sections set out the combinations of Ritherdon meter box enclosures, meter box enclosure repair units and Fire Seal Units, supporting materials and orientation by which a required integrity period may be achieved.

R3 Flush Mounted Meter Cupboard
The usual choice for outdoor meter cupboards on housing stock is the popular unit made from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP).
In many situations, however, the use of metal instead of GRP cupboards is preferred or even required, and where fire or fume hazards could occur, or when there is a need to protect the unit from vandal attack, the Ritherdon range of steel meter boxes has long provided the ideal answer.
Made to the dimensions specified in the Electricity Supply Industry Standard ESI 12-3, the range includes Small, Medium and Large boxes designed for either semi-recessed, flush or surface mounted fitting. The units are fabricated from corrosion resistant commercial grade stainless steel or electrolytically zinc-coated steel, and are finished using the latest powder coating techniques for added durability.
R3 Flush Mounted Meter Cupboard
Fully recessed with the door flush with the wall surface.
Cupboard and door supplied as separate items to allow installation of the cupboard during building work and attachment of the door later to protect its finish.
Method of attachment of door and frame to pre-fixed box allows for some degree of adjustment. Meter board and earthing stud fitted to box as standard. Cable entry holes fitted with blind grommets to allow choice of positioning.

Fortunately, since the utility companies don’t need regular access to meter boxes on void properties, it is temporarily possible to increase the box security above the standard, tri-key-operated lock. For this, we have two products and an extra option to our domestic metering range:
Void Box Cover Plate A strengthened steel plate which is fixed to the wall, covering and protecting virtually all of the meter box.
• Highly vandal resistant
• Suitable for any meter box,including those withoutRitherdon door and frame units
• Fixing holes spaced and slottedto fit plugs and screws betweenbricks
• Easy to use again once theproperty is no longer void
• Supplied with a plain metalfinish, or painted if the plateneeds to be more discreet
Locking Assembly • Adds two more fastening points,
making the door fixing muchstronger
• Enables the fitting of a padlockto the meter box door
• Easy to remove for access to themeter box during refurbishmentwork
• Visually more discreet than afull plate
• Fits the full range of Ritherdonmeter box door and frame units
• The assembly can be re-usedmany times over on differentsites
Extra Lock Option • Just like the two other void
products, this option is availablefor our whole range
• The meter box remains easilyaccessible during refurbishmentwork on the property
• The most discreet of the threeoptions, with the meter boxlooking no different when theproperty is unoccupied

Ritherdon Void Property Meter Box Range Unoccupied properties (voids) often become targets for opportunistic vandalism and theft. On top of the financial cost, this can create a hazard to the public if electricity or gas supplies are left exposed.
