Help! lost my locking wheel nut key
Saturday, August 20, 2005 10:43 PM
So i lost My key and i can't find it for the life of me.. The wheel locks are from canadian tire and have that flower shaped key for it. Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know if they are just all the same?

who makes the lugs? you can contact them for a new key. also you can do what i did my when i @!#$ty lugs. they key started to round itself off and i couldnt get my lugs off so i went to pep boys and got a similar looking key and i just pounded it into the lugs and got them off. i then replaced the whole set w/ some good lugs

By a deffenition of a "key" and "lock" they won't be the same. What would be the point of getting wheel locks if someone can go to Crappy Tire and get the replacement key and rip your wheels off?

By the sound of things and Crappy Tire it is McGard lock set. You got a piece of paper with the locks, it has a serial number, you need to send that in to McGard to get a replacement. Or you could get someone to take the old ones off and buy a new set for $35 CAD.

na discount tire can get it off. They will not sell you a lock though to get it off, but they will get it off for you without breaking it. Trust me i have done it before.

Take a picture of the lug...

My friend had some "locking" lugs on his car... Some dude sold them to him..

A 3/8" ratchet extension fit right in there.
