CAN YOU CHANGE TYRES WITHOUT A LOCKING WHEEL NUT?
The short answer is 'No', if you have locking wheel nuts fitted.
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, then the chances are you will have locking wheel nuts fitted. If you are looking to change a TYRE, or complete any service work that requires the wheels to be removed, you will need a special locking wheel nut in order to remove the security locking wheel nuts.
Working on a simple principle, each wheel is fitted with one locking wheel nut. This security nut acts as an anti-theft device to prevent your wheels from being stolen. Each of the 4 x locking wheel nuts (1 x per wheel) shares an identical patterned indent or outer security pattern with the matching ‘Locking Wheel Nut’. This special ‘Locking Wheel Nut' is the tool required in order to remove the security locking wheel nuts.
How do I get a Replacement Locking Wheel Nut?
So you’ve looked everywhere but can’t find your locking wheel nut! Don’t worry we can supply you with a
Genuine Replacement Locking Wheel Nut. We're APPROVED suppliers of Locking Wheel Nuts and can supply a locking wheel nut for the majority of all vehicles.
Unlike Main Dealers we DO NOT require the security key code.
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 is used in an attempt to remove it.
We can provide Locking Wheel Nuts for most cars and vans - no security code required.
