Instead of a standard nut and bolt the Pinheads have a rounded (think of an upside down bowl) head with small groves cut into them. The key is matched to the groves. The key tends to slip out of the groves quite easily. You don't need to do anything to them when you park, they are attrached as any other skewer would be.
The Pitlocks have a coded nut and a socket set up. You put the socket on the nut and turn it with either a 14mm wrench or an allen wrench through a hole in the socket. This is much easier to use in my experience.
