Being a scatter brain lately I've lost the key that opens the gas box to get at the meter. It has a triangular shape and the key is plastic.
Any ideas how I can find one of these keys so I can get to the meter
...its a pre payment gas meter which is low .. and its top up time :-s
I did call the gas company I'm with and they said they dont sell any such keys.
from a quickie google.
DIY shop or borrow one from a neighbour.

Mine's the same as my leccy meter box, although the latter is a bit of bent metal.

My electric meter is in one of those boxes. I never had a key. The box was frequently left open by the meter reader, so I rang the leccy company (the one that I pay (paid) for my leccy) and they sent me one f.o.c. (marked 'Gas'!).

Joseph Craine used his keyboard to write :
Most hardware shops will sell these, they come as a 'spider' of four types of key one of which fits a meter cupboard. I have also seen them in pound shops.
How much were they :-)
About a pound I think :-)
Frank Erskine laid this down on his screen :
Hope you didn't use it on the 'leccy' box :-)
Our local Tesco sells those.
A 9mm (or is it 7mm?) socket fits ours...
ASDA do a Draper four way meter cupboard key for £1.08.
That's the one ASDA do, £1.08.
I'll be honest I didn't know there were different sizes I thought it was a universal thing. I'll guess 7mm.
If you've got a pair of long nose pliers you can save yourself =A31 and a trip into town. Dave.
