It's probably a carriage bolt which has a square shoulder that fits into a square hole in the latch system which prevents it from spinning. That's why there isn't a way to attach a wrench to the top of the bolt. You are going to have to look for the other end of the bolt that is going to have a nut which can be loosened.
