I've got locking lug nuts and I can't for the life of me find a key to fit it. Hoping you can help me figure out which key will work so I don't go wasting money on em for em to not work.

Hi Jenn,

Each key is manufactured specifically for the Lugnut. To find a specific key, you would need to know the manufacturer of the locks and the part number of them. Other than that, I know they make what is called a master locking lug nut key set

If you are unable to locate the correct key, the only solution I know of is to use a socket designed to remove rounded bolts. I attached a pic below of what they look like. Keep in mind, the socket will damage the lug nut, but it will remove it.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care.,

Joe
