A Mann Co. Supply Crate Key is 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. There are also two event keys, as detailed below.

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 Festive Winter Crate Key was a single-use tool item which was released during the Australian Christmas update. Like regular keys, they could be purchased in the Mann Co. Store and was used to open a Festive Winter Crate. They can no longer be obtained and any remaining festive keys have turned into normal keys.

The Stocking Stuffer Key is a key given by Miss Pauling to the Team Fortress community in honor of Australian Christmas. One key was given out to each active player and it can open both the limited time Festive Winter Crate and regular Mann Co. Supply Crates. Unlike the Festive Winter Crate Key, these keys are untradable.

Trivia

  • The backpack image for the key is a screenshot of a key model. The model was not distributed in the GCF, yet the textures are present.
  • The Mann Co. Supply Crate Key is currently listed twice in the Mann Co. catalog. When all Festive Winter Keys were turned into normal keys on January 1st, 2011, the corresponding catalog entry changed as well.
