Window Lock Key

Good Afternoon,
I wonder if anyone can help. I have just moved into a new house and we are missing a window lock key for this one window.
It has a different lock to the other windows and it looks like it needs a square allen key - does anyone have any idea what I need to remove the lock and open the window?
Thanks,
Graeme

If you haven't got a set of allen keys a screwdriver might shift it as long as its a tight fit then screw it anti clockwise0

Thank you for such a prompt response.
I had already tried the allen keys.
However a screwdriver anti-clockwise did the trick! (well actually a bit from an electric screwdriver)
Thank you,
Graeme

I would use a mole wrench or pliers, but you may prefer the correct item.0 -
