Isolator/service switch lock off?

Hi,
Recently had one of these meter tails isolators fitted (consumer side) to make a forthcoming consumer unit replacement easier.
Couriers often stuff big parcels in my meter cupboard which is fine but I don't want to find the house switched off by accident or on purpose even.
Anyone recommend a lockoff device which would work on this? quite a few different types in Screwfix but having never used one, not sure, I gather a lockoff can be just as easily used as a lock-on device as I want here.. most refer to a miniature breaker, which I suppose in industrial terms, this is? Thanks.

This style will work, because the brown and blue switches are physically connected inside the isolator so you only need to lock one of them into position and it will stop both switches from moving: Toggle Lock | Safety Lock Offs | Screwfix.com
The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1 -
