So, as you can see the go to 'turn off the main' has many flaws.

I purchased a "T" handle type tool used for turning main water valve off and on.
Easy to operate and works great. So at monthly maintenance main water valve can be turned on, flush toilets, etc., then turn valve off when completed. Works for me.
