The door must be self closing, that's the important bit.Well you've understood wrong then. There is no regulation stating door must be top hung and whoever told you such is talking out their arse.

Door needs to remain closed when not in use so needs to be top hung. A lock is not sufficient apparently! Had this conversation with Hager today.
Seems crazy to me, but they are the regs as I understand them.
You better tell Schneider that their eazy 9 consumer units don’t comply then.The door must be self closing, that's the important bit.

Much better solution, I like it.
Have a look on YouTube for hagers amendment 3 myth breakers regarding metal consumer units.I think the evidence is overwhelming, I agree what I was told today must be incorrect........

You said this was overkill on another thread. It is the best solution, and a "no brainer"
No props using a TPN one though.I agree that some type of fuse arrangement is the best option but is the supply not single phase? I have never seen an SP&N busbar chamber.
I agree but it is a big out lay when a main switch and service terminal blocks through to switch-fuses will serve the purpose.No props using a TPN one though.
AD3 says about contentment of fire .not which way the front door flap is up or down or side to side.
just think the mcbs are made of plastic .

I agree with the OP though that on a new install, service terminal blocks (or Henley/Isco blocks that you love them being called) look like shyt. If I could hide them in the trunking then might consider it but if not I'd rather weigh out on a busbar chamber. Could pick up a 100A one up for about £180...in the grand scheme of things I don't think it's that much when rewiring a big HMO.I agree but it is a big out lay when a main switch and service terminal blocks through to switch-fuses will serve the purpose.

Good luck getting five 16.0 or 25.0 swa cables into that.
I think we've been here beforeBus bar chamber and switch fuses...it's fit for purpose and designed for the job. Out of meter into a 100A switch disconnector, into bus bar chamber, length of trunking slotted sat on top with paxolin between, bush switch fuses on to trunking, link bus bar chamber and switch fuses with singles in the trunking, gland SWA's into the switch fuses...Job done.
