Atplas Water Meter Box Lid

[RomyD]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a source for the correct tool to open this atplas box lid. It looks like a twist and lift kind of thing like a coin twist but on a larger scale?

Thanks!

You know those long water stopcock handles, for reaching down a hole and turning a tap.  Have you tried one of those?  It would not surprise me to find the gap between the 2 "coin slots" matched the spacing of the stopcock handle tools.

The gap is about 4 inches between the slots so would they will be too small? tks for the suggestion. I found a pic of the below online but no useful help where to get one. Atplas don't deal with the public...I may have to fabricate a tool... or a brake pad separator may do it...?
