Why has my cabinet's latch turned silver?

My FTTC cabinet has been activated according to Openreach, but not yet accepting orders. But the green latch on the otherwise boring green box has now become silver. Does this have any significance or have they just run out of paint?

I believe that means it's had a proper lock fitted and that most of the infrastructure work is done - shouldn't be too long now as long as everything go smoothly.

The cabinet is finished and just waiting for someone to click the button to say it's ready.

Expect it to change to accepting orders within the next few days.

Spot on. BTW checker changed to available to order this morning!

Happy days.
