Flat Hand Hole Lock - 2 Bolt System

Concrete light poles have a recessed hand hole cover near the base that provides access to the internal wiring. The factory cover offers no real security - any thief with a wrench can remove one in under a minute and walk off with the copper wire inside.

The EMT 2-Bolt Flat Hand Hole Lock is built specifically for flat-opening concrete and aggregate poles from manufacturers including Ameron, USI, and Sky Cast - where the recessed hand hole bolts directly into the pole rather than using an internal bracket. The back plate secures to the pole with bolt 1, the top cover plate snaps over and conceals bolt 1 completely, and bolt 2 locks the top plate in place behind an integrated puck lock - no exposed hardware, nothing to grip or cut.

• Two-Piece System - Both Bolts Fully Concealed
  The back plate and top cover plate work together to hide both bolts completely. No exposed hardware, nothing to grip or cut.
• Flat Cover for Recessed Concrete Pole Openings
  Seats flush into the recessed hand hole on flat-opening concrete and aggregate poles. Bolts directly into the pole’s existing threaded inserts - no bracket required.
• Puck Lock Included - Shrouded Steel Housing
  Blocks bolt cutter access to the shackle. Once locked, there’s no accessible entry point for thieves.
• Heavy-Gauge Steel, Lifetime Warranty
  Powder-coated for rust, corrosion, and UV resistance. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.
• Installs in Minutes
  No drilling, no welding, standard hand tools. Full instructions included.

Concrete poles from Ameron, USI, Sky Cast, and similar manufacturers use a recessed hand hole design that requires a cover built specifically for that opening - a standard single-bolt cover won’t fit. As a result, these poles often carry worn factory covers that any thief with a wrench can remove in seconds. A single theft incident can run $1,000-$2,000+ to repair. One lock stops that.

The 2-bolt flat hand hole lock is a two-piece steel retrofit cover for concrete and aggregate poles with recessed flat openings - no bracket required.

The back plate seats flush into the recessed opening and is secured with bolt 1. The top cover plate snaps over and conceals bolt 1 completely. Bolt 2 then locks the top plate in place behind an integrated puck lock - both bolts fully hidden, no exposed hardware, nothing to grip or cut.

If your pole uses an internal bracket system rather than bolts threaded into the pole, see the Flat Hand Hole Lock or Flat Hand Hole Lock Heavy Duty. If your pole has a curved or round body, see the Curved Hand Hole Lock. Not sure? Call 480.745.3999 or request a quote.
