I’ve lost my locking wheel nut/bolt key! Can you help?
Yes, we can help if you have lost or broken your locking wheel nut/bolt key. We are the one-stop shop for ‘Locking Wheel Nut/Bolt Keys’ and unlike Main Dealers we do NOT require the Security Key Code. 'Follow our Simple Step-By-Step Guide' below.
What are ‘Locking Wheel Nuts/Bolts’ and why do I need a 'Locking Wheel Nut/Bolt Key'.
Working on a simple principle, each wheel is fitted with one special security nut or bolt. This security nut/bolt acts as an anti-theft device to prevent your wheels from being stolen (the remaining 3 or 4 standard bolts, can be removed with a wheel wrench). Each of the 4 x security nuts/bolts (1 x per wheel) shares an identical patterned indent or outer security pattern with the matching ‘Locking Wheel Nut Key’. This special ‘Locking Wheel Nut Key' is the tool required in order to remove the security nuts/bolts. The individual ‘Locking Wheel Nut Key’ is inserted into each of the security nuts/bolts, which can then be turned and removed. Once your vehicle service work is complete. The ‘Locking Wheel Nut Key’ is then used again to re-install and tighten the security nuts/bolts back on the wheels.
There are three main types of locking wheel nuts/bolts used on vehicles:
Type 1 | Keyed Head Locking Wheel Nuts/Bolts
The majority of locking wheel nuts have a keyed head to the locking wheel nut. The locking wheel nut key shares this same keyed security pattern which slots into the keyed head of the locking wheel nut
Type 2 | Rotating Collar Locking Wheel Nuts/Bolts
This type of locking wheel nut has a rotating collar which is designed to spin around the wheel nut preventing its removal with any other tool other that the correct matching locking wheel nut key
Type 3 | Sheer Head Locking Wheel Bolts
Sheer head bolts are found typically on Peugeot and Citroen vehicles. This type of bolt is designed to “sheer-off” if any tool other than the matching locking wheel nut key is used in an attempt to remove it.
Where can I find my locking wheel nut/bolt key?
Common places that your locking wheel nut key may be stored are as follows:-
In or under the boot
Under the driver or passenger seat

Many locking wheel nut keys are stored in a small plastic box with the spare wheel nuts, whilst others are supplied on their own in a small fabric or plastic bag.
