WHAT ARE LOCKING WHEEL NUTS?
Locking wheel nuts are a cost-effective way of protecting your alloy wheels from theft. A standard wheel nut or lug nut can be removed with minimal effort using an ordinary wheel nut wrench, which means your wheels could easily be stolen. But by simply replacing one standard nut/bolt per wheel with a locking wheel nut, a special locking wheel nut key is required in order to remove that last locking wheel nut, stopping a thief in their tracks.
Locking wheel nuts originally became popular amongst car enthusiasts who were worried about the theft of their expensive alloy wheels. With many paying over £1,000 for their custom rims, it’s no wonder the inexpensive Locking Wheel Nut became a popular deterrent. Nowadays, most car manufacturers fit locking wheel nuts as standard to vehicles as they roll off the production line; indeed, it is a ‘Thatcham’ requirement for most UK vehicles.
Working on a very simple principle, each set of wheel locking nuts has a patterned indent or outer security pattern and a locking wheel nut key which matches this pattern. Only when the special locking wheel nut key is inserted can the locking wheel nut be turned and removed.
It’s for this reason that it’s important that you know where your locking wheel nut key is kept as, without it, it’s very hard, not to mention, expensive, to remove your wheels should you require a tyre change, new brakes or a service etc. We recommend that you keep your locking wheel nut key inside your vehicle somewhere, either in the glove box or hidden away out of sight, just so long as you know where to find it. If you need to pull over due to a puncture, you’re going to need that locking wheel nut key in order to remove the tyre and put the spare on. Similarly, if your vehicle requires work, your garage will need the locking wheel nut key in order to service your vehicle. So make sure you keep your locking wheel nut key safe – you never know when you might need it.
This is all good practice unless, of course, you lose your locking wheel nut key. Previously, if you had lost your Locking Wheel Nut Key and security key code, there was no way of replacing it and you had to resort to dangerous and expensive wheel nut removal. That is until now we can replace your Locking Wheel Nut Key- No Key Code Required!
