It is called "Tamper-proof", you can purchase the correct type at sears or off a tool truck (Matco, Snap-on, Cornwell etc) I think I saw them at Harbor-Freight also.
They are a pain to deal with but they make it harder for someone to steal also!
I have a set of the allen (SAE and Metric) and torx style, they are great tools to have around!

thanks for the help guys... I am not buying a special tool to take these doors off and bolt on my new ones - so I will try to knock out the pin with a punch or use a vice grip or crescent. thanks again...

The security bit set at Harbor Freight is only like $2.99.....at least when I bought them....I think they were on sale, but regular price I think was only like $5.99.
