The bulb in our external wall light has gone, for the first time since we've owned this house. Thing is, the cover is held by a couple of bolts with a triangular head profile. A bit like for the utility meter doors, only quite a bit smaller.

The bolts are quite tight on; I've tried with some long-nosed pliars to turn them loose, without luck... and I don't want to completely mess them up.

So, where do I find a small triangular key for these things? Are they common?

Thanks,

Mike

Spray them with WD40, and then after a while use a normal flat head screwdriver.

Triangular bits are available from Screwfix or Maplins in a set of 'security bits'
