    Mmmm... square lock problem

    I live in a block of flats where to open the door to the rubbish area you use just a bit of T shaped metal 'key' for want of a better description - it just has a simple square crossection shape and you just use it to turn open the door, which doesnt have a handle...

    Anyone know what these are called / where to get one? I dont fancy leaving rubbish outside and the neighbours are all drunk....

    Friendly update - anyone caught in a similar predicament, an 8 x 150 screwdriver makes an adequate replacement, but looks rather threatening to a passer by...

        Blimey mcquiggd, where did it all go wrong? I leave that sort of thing for the butler to worry about.

            Mr Pine - New Town, Edinburgh .... not exactly down market but I have been assaulted 3 times in two years... Neighbours are more likely drunk on Krug than Magners.... flats across the road start at £450k for a 2 bedroom...

            Mr Box - why have a butler when you have a maid...? but I couldnt send her out in the cold, not in that skimpy little uniform she loves to wear while she whispers in an Eastern European accent and polishes the family jewels....


            Mr Soles - they offer free condoms at the family planning - might even be able to order online (hadnt thought of that before...)

              Ah, so you live on an estate for executive thugs and lowlifes. That's alright then.
