You should be able to buy manholes keys from a builders merchant, or a plumbers merchant

any good diy store ( just use a garden spade , wiggle down between the cover and frame lift slightly , then slide something under to keep it there ) do the same the opposite side , then push aside

Your best bet is to go to your local plant and tool hire shop and hire a hydraulic inspection cover lifter. this will save you breaking or straining your back.
Good luck Malcolm C

Other places to try are "Wickes" and "Screwfix".
