Hi
I am renovating our old 1930's windows, which are in good overall condition.
I am trying to remove the fixtures from the windows, stays, handles etc which have been painted white gloss all over. And some damn fool over the years has used these tamper proof / security screws all over the place. I have ordered a security screw bit set which has helped remove some of them, but the butterfly bit I am using is not really doing the job.
The reason I am trying to remove all of the fixings, is to give them all to a local firm to get them all powder coated black.
Hopefully there is a link to a picture below showing the screw head.

(I would have pasted the image into my post - but could not find any way of doing it)
Can anyone help ?
I am also not sure if I have posted this in the right section, so MODS please move if not appropriate here.
cheers
Aaron
