Lock on gas meter box won't turn

The key fits firmly, but it won't turn to release the internal tab that holds the door in position. Any suggestions appreciated.

Try pushing the door in a little while turning.
Give it a spray of WD40.

Hi,

is it metal or plastic?

If not been opened for some time could be corrosion,try the squirty stuff.

Are you turning it the correct way?

Have you tried turning it both clockwise and anticlockwise?
