Default Window security pin - need key/wrench



"mad NATer" wrote in message

...
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.
