Electricity meter cabinet needs new door

Murmansk

I've been asked to replace the broken door on an outdoor meter cabinet, I did this once before and managed to get a compatible door from a local builders merchant, but this time I can't find a suitable door locally or online.

The brand is ERF and the door is 40 x 59cm

I'm thinking I might have to replace the whole cabinet and wondering if this is feasible if I cut round the current cabinet's back wall with a multi tool and then cut a big hole in the back of the new cabinet?

I'd hold out for a replacement door - there's BOUND to be one out there. Have you looked on eBay?
Meanwhile, you can effect a temp repair on the broken door using all sorts of methods, from 'glassing' the break from the inside, to gaffa tape on both sides

There are so called 'overboxes' for damaged boxes

9/10 you can find a replacement door it's just a case of googling your sizes,(for example) i've only ever found 3 different sizes, they are all pretty similar, thats if the frame is intact(if hinge fittings are smashed off you can't do this)
or failing that there are a few companies that do metal overdoors, they are a bit bigger and fasten to the brick/block surrounding
or another option is just get a couple of strap hinges and some nuts and bolts and bodge something up assuming your existing door is still there and reasonably in tact
