Just moved into a house built in 1961 (Bay Area, CA) and saw this box on the outside of the house in the back yard. I'd like to secure it somehow but haven't been able to locate anything that fits from either Home Depot or Lowes.
Any suggestions on where to find the make/model and where to find a replacement?
Unfortunately, just buying a new door isn't enough to restore this panel to a serviceable condition, as it's a Zinsco (from the design of the breakers), with its attendant breaker-to-busbar contact issues. If that wasn't enough, independent testing has shown Zinsco breakers to be both miscalibrated and unreliable, with issues with jamming or simply failing to shut the power off when switched off. So, I'd have the whole box replaced with something of a current make and model that won't fail in such a way.
