Disclosed is a watthour meter box which allows simple disconnection of the meter and which includes a meter socket rotatably engaging the meter and a housing structure permitting the meter to be rotated from a first position where the meter is fully connected electrically to the meter socket to a second position where the meter is not fully connected electrically to the meter socket. In a preferred embodiment, the invention includes a stationary front panel having an oblong opening to admit the glass portion of the watthour meter and a movable plate behind the front wall having a similar oblong opening with a gasket reducing the opening to match substantially the perimeter of the glass wall of the meter. By releasing means securing the position of the movable plate, the meter rotates about a pivot member in the lower jaws of the socket and disengages its upper prongs from the upper jaws. Also disclosed are means securing the movable plate in the second disengaged position.
