Demarcation is "the action of fixing the boundary or limits of something" or "a dividing line." Here, the dividing line is between the wiring belonging to the cable company and the wiring belonging to the house. The cable company has no right to deny access of the homeowner to the home's cabling.
Why the demarc? So that if there's a signal problem, the wires can be separated and the fault can be located either on one side, the other, or both... which you can't determine without accessing the demarc.
The cable company has no right to deny the homeowner access to the cable wiring inside his house, so the demarcation point box must be unlocked.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
