Can you remove locking wheel nuts without a key?

Only with the correct removal tools.

What is a wheel lock key?

Wheel locks are designed to prevent thieves from stealing rims off your car. Wheel locks consist of four special lug nuts and one key. The lug nuts have a specific pattern that only the key that comes with the set can install or remove them.

Are wheel locks necessary?

No. But, it's important never to lose the key because you'll need it if you ever get a flat tyre. However, the locks greatly reduce your risk of losing your wheels and tyres.

Don't normally write reviews but thought Tyre Torque well deserved it. Got new tyres fitted immediately by just turning up and without booking. They didn't try and sell me anything else like many other places do. Very happy with the service. 10/10

Changed a damaged tyre for me. The one I ordered the couldn't get so they sourced one that was slightly more expensive but only charged me for the one I'd ordered. Everyone there was very friendly.

If you want decent tyres at a decent price and you want them now , go to tyre torque. Twice now they've sorted me out new tyres at zero notice. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Cheers guys

Went to this garage to have tyres re-balanced and the tyre sensor looked at. The garage found my TPMS sensor loose in the tyre, taped and cable tied! (caused by going to RAC tyres - local garage in Ninfield). The guys were ultra fast, friendly and helpful. Will definitely use them again.

Visited today for the third time in about 4 years. The staff are super helpful, and the young lad changing my tyre couldn't do enough to help me in my predicament! Locking wheel nut wouldn't come off and after sorting that out at another local garage I had my tyre changed super quick and all the locking nuts changed to normal nuts. Great prices, great staff, great waiting time, great selection. What else could you ask for...? Except maybe a drinks machine.. ;)

Hit a huge pothole and my tyre went completely flat, luckily was able to drive to these guys without the tyre completely falling off although it was very battered by the time I got there. Didnt book in or call ahead just got there as it opened. Was taken care of, everyone I spoke to was polite, nobody tried to oversell or feed me any lies. Great service and great prices. They also were just as courteous with everyone else who came after me too. Def recommend to anyone in the area :)

Can’t recommend them enough. Plenty of tyres in stock ready. We had a puncture on the last day of our holiday, and of all the places we tried, Tyre Torque weren’t only the most accommodating to a change right away so we could get home, but the staff were very professional and polite at very short notice. Thanks again guys!

Absolutely life saving! We were on a camping holiday, when we realised a flat tyre on our pop up caravan, called around the area to get the best quote, and Tyre Torque were the cheapest and most prompt with our order, picked it up the next morning, even tho it was quite a rare size! A* service. Cant thank them enough! We were able to carry on carefree knowing it was all in order.
