Madness.

I have fitted a few BG garage units before and found this problem. I have hurled the offending blanks and used others that complied.
I have come to expect this level of quality from BG consumer units though.
I agree it is madness. That a manufacturer would not be aware of regulations and supply parts unfit for use.

I fitted a schneider 3 phase board in the summer, aparantly they dont even do a din rail type fitted blank only the clip in ones aswell.... I didnt like that on a 3 phase board...

The wilex one i fitted today came with clip in ones aswell but i ordered the din mounted ones to go with it...

Are the blanks removable without a tool ?
The problem is easily solved by ordering a lock to fit the DB door if so.

Would you install a CU with a clip on cover?

Your first quote sort of disproves your second quote, unless my sarcasm detector is malfunctioning.

I have come across plenty of gear not suitable for installation to BS7671. Mainly light fittings, but having experienced the blanks supplied with BG boards, I would say they are not compliant or fit for purpose.

You are not comparing apples with Apple's.

Yes you can really remove any clip in ones if youve got good nails

I have come across some plastic clip in that I couldn't remove at all. And I go to the Fufu boutique once a week for a manicure
