Hi. Can any electricians who carry out domestic installations recommend the best brands of CU currently available. I am a recently retired electrician (over 50 yrs in the trade) but worked mainly in industrial/commercial installations and maintenance. Working now for family, friends and neighbour's for mates rates of course. I prefer good quality gear and I don't mind paying for it.I am familiar with the likes ok MK , Crabtree, Merlin Gerin and Square D etc but I can see a lot of new names out there now such as BG ,MCG, M2, Proteus, and Contactum etc. I will be grateful for any advice/recommendations that electrician's have to offer. Thank you.
 
IMO even if the do come with magnets to hold the flaps open, it's still not a good enough reason to use them.
The Contactum boards come with magnets to keep the flaps closed (at least the last ones I installed did, before I changed to Fusebox about a year ago). Without the magnets, the flap didn't quite stay closed. I was never totally happy with this arrangement.
