Can anyone recommend a good lamp post key

Andy5678 · Jun 18, 2018

as the title. Tried cheap ones and a bacho multi type one wich is now broken.

They always break or don’t fit correctly.

It’s the triangular ones mostly that I see.

10mm or 3/8" socket.

Yeh do that sometimes, doesn’t always work if it is a little rounded.

A triangle socket adaptor would be good if they existed

or get a universal key.

A grinder is the universal tool for metal work

Ask one of these lads. They seem to get in most lamp posts

You get them with new lampposts. Buy a new one and get the key for free.

Or perhaps you can order one from a lamppost manufacturer.

Yeah they come taped to the door of the lamp post we did a site of 140 and ended up with a box full of them

My MIL bought a new pair of scissors from Dyas. It came in a plastic blister pack which you needed a pair of scissors to open

I think they are the same size as a London Underground J Key used by drivers and staff to access trains. I have one somewhere from my days at LUL and they are well made.

All of ours came out of a place called engineering distributors, theirs come with keys taped to the doors and 2 keys for each mini pillar
