Street lamp post key

[TPES]

Trying to find one!!!

Standard utility box keys done fit, there slightly too small, does anyone know where I can get a key to fit street lamp panels? I've been looking all over the net, I can't find one

I don't think you're supposed to have one. What do you want to do, anyway?

Long nose pliers !

If you're working for the council, whose supply it runs off, you should probably ask them.

Try one of the lamp post suppliers like Kingfisher Lighting

Try a socket set

Marlin do them 4-Way Service Utility Key : Hex Keys & Utility Keys : Maplin Electronics

These don't fit.. The triangle is 8mm the same as every other service box key.

Lamp posts need a bigger key not sure if its 10mm??

I don't need them for posts on the streets, it's private car parks etc.... I've got a big car park to maintain, 25 posts...

8mm tri sided bolt being the most common for modern metal posts.

I have a security key for certain camera columns, but unfortunately some other guys don't as the locks are usually smashed open :mad2:

We got a few from a local lampost maker

around £2 each , it was only a few months back

I'm sure edminsons sell a 4way key (looks like a + ) with the end you require, not cheap tho never is in there.

I got mine from neweys. theyre made by a company called Pudsey-diamond

A 10mm socket, the six sided variety (not the 12 point type) fits, the type with a thin wall, Iam led to believe.
