My daughter has just moved into a house that has an outdoor socket
installed. Its an MK socket, looks like it could be a Masterseal.
Is there a magic way of opening the cover? We have tried just lifting
it from the bottom, but it refuses to move.

You have to press up on the tabs underneath the bottom edge.
It can be hard when new as I found out.

Mine's 10 years old, and I still can't flip the bloody lid open without
an implement of some sort.
