Can't figure out type of bolt holding door together

2006 Gulfstream 38" Crescendo Class A DP

The door handle on the outside broke, it no longer opens the door. It's like it is disconnected from the latch mechanics.

I'm trying to take the door apart to see what's up. However, I can't figure out what type of bolt is holding this thing together.

It looks like some type of hex bolt but no size I have fits. I've also tried T-15 (to small) T-20 (too big).

Hex 1/8 (too small) 9/64 (too big)
Hex 3( too small) 4 too big
Both regular Hex and Ball Hex were tried.

Is this sometype of security bolt?

Thanks for the tip on the bit set. I needed one of those anyway. $8 with coupon - can't beat the kit. Actually got 2 extra for my camping friends xmas gift

Anyway - still not sure what the heck these bolts are. They are somewhere between a t-15 thru t-20 - however a S2 worked enough on the two bolts holding that latch in. I've got the door apart now.

S2 bit worked

Did you try Metric??

Try a #2 square head.

took another pic from inside the coach. It's the same size bolts holding the inside latch.

These bolts run up down the frame of the door.

Pop Rivet...drill them out

Thanks folks - they are not Torex nor are they Hex. As mentioned I also tried both ball hex (rounded seat) and flat Hex (metric and SAE)

I do believe that these may be "torxt" type screws. Canadian Mfg use them on jeep assembly. Hope thats spelled right.

That looks like hex head machine bolts.
One of them has rounded seat, so that might create some problems.
Those things like to be metric.
