To my knowledge no one makes custom breaker panel covers. It can even
get very difficult to get covers for old panels.

RBM is a licensed electrician. He has already told you all of this. He
suggested you get a factory cover back on the panel. You never indicated
whether you have a surface mount cover or flush mount cover, that is a
change that you may be able to do depending on age of panel.

Your choices would seem to be:
1. Move the existing panel forward the proper distance to work.
2. Install the lid you own correctly, and cover over the recesses lid
with a picture or door.

Hmmm,
Could enclose the whole panel in a nice wooden box quick with door access.
I wonder why he needs cover? It'll be a hinderance when quick access to
breaker is needed.


The NEC requires a cover, and requires it to be made of non combustible
material, and listed for the purpose
