For opening Gas meter cupboards in communal areas. The end is just square shape. If you cant tell its about 6'' tall.

Thanks

Have you tried BES? It looks the sort of quirky thing they might sell.

Close enough?

Evening Dave, yeah they have similar ones like you say but all for stopcocks and manhole covers.

it's called a Budget Lock key

also sometimes called a coach lock or a carriage lock

Budget locks are sold by ironmongers and companies that sell locks

You can grind one from any broken tool!

Its a 1/4" square but often tapered to help to fit worn or out of tolerance locks.

Most often used on vehicle panels.
