A compact zinc alloy key with a different end for each kind of access point: gas, electric and water meter boxes, radiators and outside taps. Many UK households do not have one, and it saves a lot of time if you ever need to reach a meter cupboard.

It opens cupboards; it is not a replacement for a dedicated stopcock key for a stiff valve. Know where your stopcock and meter are before an emergency.

Key features

Four different key ends
Zinc alloy
Fits many gas, electric and water cupboards
Radiator bleed and stopcock use
Small and light enough for a drawer
Cheap staple add-on

How to use it

You fit the matching end of the key into a meter box, cupboard, radiator valve or outside tap and turn it.

Check the four key ends and find the one that matches the lock or fitting.
Push the end firmly into the keyhole or over the spindle.
Turn the key smoothly, without forcing it, until the door or valve moves.
Open the cupboard and look at what is inside without touching the equipment.
Close and lock the box when you finish.

Tips

Try the key on your own meter boxes now, so you know it fits.
Know where your stopcock is, and keep the key near it.

Safety and limits

Do not tamper with gas equipment: if you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
Fit varies by meter box, so check it before relying on it.
Do not use it to force stiff valves.
