Default Kitchen service panel
Any issues with a service panel in a kitchen besides proper clearance? I know a bathroom is not allowed.

This panel was in the kitchen next to the counter, but Mr. Handy left the deadfront off and there was no latch on the cover. A kid in a high chair could easily reach this. What were they thinking??

It all depends on how much they have been cut on.
they had cut the front panel at the bottom of the cabinet so it could be removed.
