Flat Hand Hole Cover with Tamper-Resistant Bolt

A simple upgrade. An added barrier to unauthorized access.

Help deter casual tampering with an EMT Hand Hole Cover secured by a tamper-resistant bolt. The powder-coated steel plate and internal mounting bracket protect the access opening, while the bolt requires a matching security bit for installation and removal.

This design provides a low-profile alternative to a cover with an external puck lock. Available in rectangular and obround shapes for hand hole openings with a flat seating surface.

Measure before ordering: Use your opening’s outside width and height to find the matching size, then confirm the shape and flat seating surface. Compare your measurements with the product gallery images and see How to Measure below.

• Tamper-Resistant Bolt - Requires a matching specialty security bit to help discourage casual removal.
• Low-Profile Design - A clean exterior appearance without an external puck lock or lock housing.
• 1/8″ Powder-Coated Steel - Durable construction with a protective finish for outdoor use.
• Internal Mounting Bracket - Secures the cover from inside the pole.
• Matching Security Bit Included - Provides the correct interface for installation and routine service.
• Custom Sizes and Colors - Contact EMT for options suited to your opening and finish requirements.

The EMT Hand Hole Cover replaces a standard access cover with a steel plate secured by an internal bracket and a tamper-resistant bolt.

The bracket passes through the hand hole opening. Tightening the bolt draws the bracket against the inside of the pole and holds the cover against the exterior seating surface. The matching security bit engages the bolt for installation and removal.

This model uses a specialty security-bit fastener rather than the keyed model’s proprietary bolt. It does not use a separate puck lock. It offers a practical way to help discourage casual tampering while allowing maintenance personnel to service the opening with the correct tool.

Choose this cover when you want a tamper-resistant fastener and a clean exterior profile. Specialty security bits are commercially available, so this model should not be treated as a restricted-key access system.

For a proprietary keyed-bolt option, see our Hand Hole Cover with Keyed Tamper-Resistant Bolt. If you want the mounting bolt concealed behind a puck lock, explore our Flat Hand Hole Lock or Heavy-Duty Flat Hand Hole Lock.

The EMT Hand Hole Cover with Tamper-Resistant Bolt helps discourage casual tampering with wiring access points in outdoor lighting applications, including:

• Streetlights and roadway lighting
• Parking lot and commercial property lighting
• Parks, campuses, and sports facilities
• Industrial and warehouse exterior lighting

A flat seating surface is required. Match the opening’s outside width, height, and shape to the product, and check the surface immediately around the opening.

If your seating surface is curved, contact EMT for an appropriate cover. For a proprietary keyed-bolt option, see our Hand Hole Cover with Keyed Tamper-Resistant Bolt.

For a design with a separate puck lock, explore our Flat Hand Hole Lock or Heavy-Duty Flat Hand Hole Lock.
