Abstract
A locking device for a meter socket includes a barrel lock receptacle carring a backing plate and snapped into assembly with the meter socket through an aperture in a wall of the socket. A barrel lock received within a bore in the lock receptacle secures one leg of an L-shaped locking bar adjacent the wall of the meter socket. The other leg of the locking bar overlies the meter socket cover and retains the cover in closed position.
