Frequently Asked Questions

What is a meter box key?

A meter box key, or water meter cover key, is a specialized tool that allows operators to easily open and close the lids of water meter boxes, typically for the purpose of reading water consumption or repair and maintenance.

Are all water keys the same?

While they all serve the same purpose, not all meter cover keys are the same. They come in different shapes and sizes, corresponding to the type of lid bolts and valves. Examples include T-handle keys, curb stop keys, and pentagon keys (featured Ford’s KEY-2 falls into this category).

How does a meter key work?

In general, all water meter cover keys work on the same principle: they are inserted into the slot or lock mechanism on the lid, allowing the user to lock/unlock the cover, and lift it to access the meter. However, KEY-2 by Ford Meter Box Co. takes this a step further, as it is designed to auto-attach to the bolt and act as a lifter handle, as well as auto-disengage upon locking, making the entire process faster and more convenient.

What can I use as a water meter key?

While there are guides on the Internet with instructions on how to improvise a meter box key, we must heavily advise against this approach. Improvised solutions run a high risk of damaging the lid or (worse) the water meter itself, as well as a high possibility of injury. Therefore, if you need to access your water meter, either use a dedicated tool such as the Ford #2 water meter cover key or have professionals do it for you. This way, you’ll have easy access to readings, while avoiding hefty repairs or compromising your well-being.
