The right key for opening a locking water meter lid — this isn’t a glamorous item, but a crew that shows up without it loses time fast. Bass & Hays stocks the right keys and also replacement parts for water meter box maintenance, stocked in Grand Prairie, Texas for our service box inventory and for same-day availability on most items.
Locking Water Meter Lid Keys
Our locking key selection covers the full range of lid types in common use across waterworks, stormwater, and sewer systems. The D® Key is the original standard bronze key for meter box and inlet locking lids — the most commonly used key in municipal utility maintenance across Texas. The Key-16 long bronze key provides reach for deeper-set or recessed lids. The Key-54 hammer-head key handles our standard locking lids as well, and has a hammerhead/pick for use in cleaning debris from the holes. If you’re unsure which key fits your lid, call us — we’ll figure it out.
Replacement Parts & Hardware
We stock replacement parts and hardware for our meter box enclosures. Having replacement components like springs, plungers, and stainless steel screws on hand means a maintenance call doesn’t become a full cover or box replacement.

Keep these parts and tools on hand! Call 1-800-258-2278 (toll free) or 972-263-1360 (DFW), or contact us online to confirm availability and place your order.
