Because it requires a key to open, it’s best suited to locations that don’t need frequent tool-free access. To open this plate, you’ll need a compatible deck plate key — see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/deck-plate-key-354-3356991\"\u003eDeck Plate Key\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/universal-deck-plate-key-354-3356901\"\u003eUniversal Deck Plate Key\u003c\/a\u003e.
