Electrical Cabinet Keys

Electrical cabinet keys open meter boxes, distribution boards, switchgear enclosures, control panels and street furniture cabinets. Many of these use quarter-turn locks operated by a shaped key such as a square, triangle or double-bit insert, while others use a coded cam lock with the number on the lock face.Before ordering, measure or compare the insert shape and size against the listings, or read the code from the lock if it has one. The brand of enclosure, often printed on the door or rating plate, helps confirm which key fits.Electrical enclosures should only be opened by the owner or by people authorised and competent to do so. Supply-side equipment and meters belonging to the network operator or supplier must be left to them. Facilities and maintenance teams needing keys in quantity can arrange a trade account through Key Factory for Business.
