Hey everyone,

I want to change a few external lights at home but I can't figure out what sort of key etc I'll need to take off the front panel. I've never come across anything like this when in college or odd jobs here and there. I'll attach a few pictures because I haven't got a clue where to start looking. I've been looking for keys and screwdrivers and come up with nothing obviously.

Thanks

Hardev

We call them castle keys. But you can open them with a little effort with a small flat headed driver. RS are pretty good for things like these.
 
Or a pair of long nose pliers

You get a key with each fitting, if you open enough of them you'll probably find one still taped to the baseplate.
 
A pair of side cutters should do the trick it a bit ruff but if you are not reusing the lights it won't matter if you damage the heads of the bolts
