Window security pin - need key/wrench

I've got a friend who bought a house with window lock pins installed. He
has
no key or wrench to remove the pins so they can open the windows. The
pins
(or screws) have a round head except for one side which is flat. Imagine
a
hex-head bolt with only 1 flat side instead of 6. I'm trying to help
but I
don't know where to get the key. Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, all have
different
versions of these security pins - none of which match the type described
above. Ace has a hex head screw/pin. Lowes and Home Depot have pins with
a
key you use to pry the pin out. Where would one get a key/wrench which
could
handle this semi-circular head? The pin/screws are recessed and can't be
reached with a regular pair of pliers. Ideally a key would work (like a
gas
starter key) but it has to match the contour.
Any ideas??
Every locksmith has these. Sometimes found at the Borg stores.
