Spot of bother with the ould Leccie Meter

misstearheus

So I'm in a spot of bother with the ould Leccie Meter Box. Put black plastic key yoke in the door to open it but it won't open! :rolleyes: You can hear something clicking inside alright I presume that the lock is locking or un-locking or something but I can't get the bloody door open! Anyone got any helpful useful ideas / suggestions for me? Thanks.

poa

Stick a large flat bladed screwdriver in the edge of the door and prise it open.

If you promise to never spell my name with a 'h', I'll let you finish the chorus. Deal?

Drill a small hole between the keyhole and the edge of the door, stick a long nail or similar in and move the catch round.

the_pen_turner

get a long needle nosed pliers or vice grip and hold the triangular part. you should be able to pull it then and open it.

if not then get a suction cup and clamp it to the door

Ah, I thought the lock was just just spinning
I was probably wrong there

Drill a 20 or 25mm hole in the door , shove a garden hose in the hole , turn on the water.

That's crazy, it'll take ages to dry out.

Yes drill the hole, get the hose, but hook it up to your gas meter instead , the overpressure will pop it open in no time.

cut a square hole in the middle of the meter box door around where the meter would be, cover the hole with cling film, and now you never have to open the bloody thing ever again.

People know there's an emergency door at the back of the box just for these scenarios, right?

You're as well to burn the whole house down, tbh.

It's completely broken now anyway.

Have you gotten behind in your bills? Really, really behind?

I hear the ESB have adopted extreme tactics to get people to pay up now. That ticking you hear is a timer device on a small but powerful bomb. If you don't do a bank transfer before the time runs out...

If the sledge hammer fails, then burn it with fire, lots of fire.


edit: Pour petrol on your sledgehammer and light on fire then start bashing!

Stick your arse to it & climb through the hole

Maybe throw a lighted match in there as well.

Have you tried the back door at all

recylingbin

Get a coat hanger and straighten it out.
Put a little hook at the end, say 1 inch
Insert it into the hole where the key goes.
Get into your car.
Reverse it away from the house.
Now jam it into first and accelerate hard.
Into second, keeping the boot down
Crash into the house.
Now you will know whether your airbags work.
If they did, get out and turn the coat hanger until the box opens.
Hey presto!!! Problem solved

Awww thanks for the giggles guys am chuckling away to myself here. Actually I do happen to own Suction Caps I must find them. Will that even stick to the dooreen though maybe it will I will try it. I might see if 1 of the Neighbours has a Pliers I can borrow. Ta.

Capt'n Midnight

if the edge isn't even try pressing either the top or bottom of he door to free it up



alternatively, you'll need a rubber chicken , three kilos of blancmange and a stick

Are there tassles on them?

Seriously though, a voodoo mass will solve this in a flash

Well, I lost the original black key twice. It's still lost. :rolleyes: Then I got Airtricity to send me out one. They have a green one. But it's pure shyte it isn't worth p1ssin' time. So then I went to the trouble of going into a Hardware Shop and bought a big-a$$ metal-y one with a load of shapes on it and paid €4.99 for the effing privilege. :rolleyes:. But now I've gone and lost that too. I just shouldn't be given anything at all. :rolleyes:

Try turning it off, then on again.

Haha. That reminds me of Comedy Clip someone did about Allen Keys and a spare drawer in the house.
