A Mann Co. Supply Crate Key is a single-use tool item which is available through trading or at the Mann Co. Store. It is used for opening a Mann Co. Supply Crate.
To use the key, the player should select the key in the backpack and proceed to click the 'Use with...' button before selecting the Crate wished to be opened. The key can be applied to any regular series Crate in the player's backpack, where it is consumed, along with the crate, in the process. However, there are three specialized keys, which could only be obtained during specific events. These keys could only be used with a specifically associated series of crate, which regular keys could not open.
The key is only available to be purchased from the Mann Co. Store; it cannot be found from random drops and cannot be crafted. The key can be traded two days after being purchased.
