Joe, Thats what I thought, but I was not finding anything like that
on my web searches.
(I was sure I had seen them before, but did not remember where)
The box is SquareD 40 breakers (pretty generic I think).
Is there anyplace to order one online, or would the cost be
unreasonable ?

Some Square D covers can be purchased separately, however as RBM mentions
the breakers will be too far back. Also you cannot have that much drywall
exposed on the edges to the interior of the panel. Put the cover on set
back in the wall. Check the panel label for the correct cover model number
and contact a Square D distributor. The Square D web site has their
complete catalog online, but it is a little confusing to find things.

When I search Square-Ds' E-Catalog for panel covers, I get 1004
hits.
What term do they call a panel cover like this ?

Was the link broken or did I miss something ? All I saw was standard
boxes. Nothing about speciality covers.
