Abstract
A handhole compartment for utility poles. The compartment includes an oval sidewall sized to be received in the handhole, and a removable cover. The cover is equipped with a latch at each end. A foot on the end of the latch engages a notch in the sidewall. The foot is controlled by rotating the head of the latch on the top of the cover using an Allen wrench. The latch eliminates the need to align and thread bolts. The cover is molded plastic so that warping, common to metal covers, is virtually eliminated and so that the desired shape and size can be reproduced consistently. A lip on the edge of the cover provides a seal around the edge of the sidewall.
