There were two sizes of hex-key used on VAX cabinetry, and I
believe the item being considered here, given its description, is
the large calibre one that opens the doors to the CPU cabinet.
Other cabinets used hex-keys of a smaller calibre and were universal
across many cabinet types including the 3'6" roll-around ones.
