What type of tool fits this fastener?

[GON]

Replacing an enclosed trailer side door.

Went to remove the damaged door, was expecting a torx like fastener. Went to the door, and discovered the fastener is apparently not torx.

Anyone able to point me
What type fastener/ tool I need to remove these fasteners?

Robertson square drive might do it.

Beats me maybe a stripped out torx. If you don’t need to preserve the screws angle grinder and a flat head would be my go to.

I have a whole set of the drivers to fit those screws. Look at Harbor Freight.

Either a double square bit or spider drive bit. Like this: Bit Set

Heading to Harbor Freight now, thanks for the suggestion.

a square drive would work (robertson)


those are commonly called double square or spiders

Gents,

Grateful for the help- thank you.

This is what I ordered from Amazon:

Cool I learned something new never heard of nor seen this kind of fastener before. Like we needed another fastener drive type.

 

[Kira]

Like we needed another fastener drive type.

The double square distributes the drive force in an aluminum fastener like a wrench.
The bits are not pointed, the mating surface is more precise.

mainly used in trailers, rv etc.
