<p dir="ltr">Not to bikeshed this, but is the direction of the hinge important? At least around the northwest, due to the prevailing drizzle, cabinet doors on certain utility cabinets open upwards to provide at least some weather protection to the equipment while under maintenance. </p>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div>"Street cabinet" has no meaning in my region. Looking at
manufacturer's sites and google images, I do see the term in use in
Britain (and some other places) for above ground enclosures with
vertical hinged doors. Did you also mean to include above ground
enclosures without hinged doors and subsurface enclosures with a surface
door? In the U.S. all types are probably most commonly known as utility
boxes. Utility box has other meanings, so is ambiguous, but on a map
would likely be interpreted correctly<br>
</div><div>Perhaps someone could chime in with the British term covering all the variations?<br> </div><br></div>Murry<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 10:31 AM, François Lacombe <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:francois.lacombe@telecom-bretagne.eu" target="_blank">francois.lacombe@telecom-bretagne.eu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
