You are paying for the solution not the plastic
As others have said - straightforward for a competent DIYer to fit - 6 screws into the brick and fits over the existing cover.You do need something to cut away the bottom to accomodate the gas pipes - I used a holesaw for this, but a hacksaw or multi-tool would also work.The cover is high gloss plastic so I removed the door before fitting to avoid scratches. The door is reversible, as others mentioned ensure the latch falls down to lock so it can't rattle open in the wind.All in all you are paying for the solution not the plastic so yes expensive for what it is, but a cheap way and simple to fix a damaged meter box.

Simple cost effective solution when you've got a broken meter box door
Quicker than stated delivery, next day by Parcel Force. Product is as expected, a white plastic box. Time will tell how durable it is but seems fine. Easily fitted and door can be hung left or right. Delighted to find this as I really didn't want the hassle of finding a local person that would replace the whole meter box - hinges were broken so needed more than just a new door.

Don’t fit it upside down!
Yes, you can fit it upside down. I did! In my photo you will see the “gap” or “inset” is at the top in my photo. Make sure you fit it at the BOTTOM. The door catch is designed to work best with this gap at the bottom. Fit it the other way around and the catch can vibrate into the unlocked position. I have rectified this on mine, but learn from my mistake.Other than that, the box is exactly as others say. Easy to fit, looks lovely afterwards.One other thing. If, like me, you have an inset steel electric box with a full length piano hinge on the door, you will need to drill out the rivets that fix the door to the case to remove the old door. When they start to spin, they can be remove by chiselling the last bit off. (Old flat head screwdriver & a hammer).Secondly, you will need to screw two 15mm / 3/4” battens or furring strips on each side of the old box to give you the additional depth you need as those steel boxes are deeper than 66mm. Screw the cover to the strips and seal around with white silicon.
