My house is the same way. I have to call the electric company to unlock the
meter to shut off power to the box. I've been told that they will leave it
unlocked for a time if you ask them to, but I've not asked yet.
Of course I could just cut the lock off, but there's a good chance they'd want
me to pay for it.
