    Doesn't the door require a triangular or 6mm square key to open it? If so then the panel requires a tool to enter so the effective IP rating of all the internal connections and components follows the IP rating of the panel itself. I wouldn't ever attempt to get all the connections and components in a panel or DB to pass the finger test. You could just padlock the door.

    That would be the easiest but the main switch is mounted inside the panel and therefore access cannot be restricted to the use of a tool in case of emergency.

    Install a DIN mounted isolator switch and a door mounted handle and extension kit....then padlock the door.
