Tools to remove "security Fasteners"

[Bill43mx]

I'm looking to remove the door of of the trailer we are wrapping and the hinges are attached with security fasteners that look like a torx but they have a post sticking up in the center so you would need the correct size torx bit with a hole in the center of it to clear the post. Any idea where I can get the proper tool for these?

It's called a security bit. Just google it and you'll get many hits. The bit has a hole in the center for the pin.

Do a google search for "torx TR" or "torx tamper resist"

any hardware store should have a security bit kit which will include these...

+1 on hardware store and also most auto parts stores.

Thank you! I didn't think there was any chance they'd be available locally. I'll start calling the hardware stores.

A cutoff wheel and an impact driver! Aint no such thing as tamper proof!

Well yeah! But I need to put it back together. *LOL* First auto parts store I called had a full set for $20. I though for sure I'd have to order them. You learn something new every day. Thanks guys!:U Rock:

Bill you can put it back together just use new screws

 

[Bill43mx]

But wouldn't I need the correct tool to put the new fasteners in? Oh wait........VICE GRIPS!!!!!!

Bill you get standard hardware that has the same profile along with same thread and pitch! quit making this harder than it is!
