Never tried this particular one myself but it looks pretty robust for the sum of £3.24 Exc. VAT... at that price it's rude not to buy two.

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

although its difficult to rip it open with just brute force it is possible, and painful, once you get a good tear in the plastic its like butter

empty out a sharpie, then melt the grey bit with a lighter, pop that onto the triangle, let it cool and twist

Get one of these:

Spare Key for Lighting Columns | CEF - https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/1855047-column-keys-for-lighting-columns

Normal triangular keys like you get on meter cupboards do not fit, they are too small. The one in the link will fit, I work on street lighting regularly and as long as I don't lose it, these keys always work.
