Locking Wheel Nut Removal
Lost or Damaged Locking Wheel Nut Key? We Can Help!
Locking wheel nuts are a great security feature, but they can become a major problem if the unique key is lost, damaged, or if the nuts are over-tightened. HS Mobile Tyres offers a specialist mobile locking wheel nut removal service across Middlesbrough and Teesside, designed to remove them safely without damaging your expensive alloy wheels.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Please inform us in advance if your locking wheel nut is missing or unavailable. While it may still be possible to proceed with the service, the locking wheel nut is often essential for safely removing certain types of wheels. Not informing us ahead of time may result in delays or require tools we don’t carry by default. Letting us know in advance allows our technician to prepare accordingly, bring the appropriate equipment, and ensure your appointment runs smoothly without disruption. Your cooperation helps us deliver a safe and efficient service on the first visit.
What Are Locking Wheel Nuts?
Locking wheel nuts are specially designed nuts, one per wheel, that require a unique matching 'key' socket for removal. They act as a deterrent against wheel theft, particularly for valuable alloy wheels.
Common Problems Requiring Removal:
- Lost or Misplaced Key: This is the most common issue, preventing you or a garage from removing the wheel for tyre changes or repairs.
- Damaged Key or Nut: The key or the pattern on the nut itself can become worn or damaged, making removal impossible even with the correct key.
- Overtightened Nuts: If locking nuts have been overtightened (e.g., with an impact wrench), they can be extremely difficult to remove and can damage the key.
- Key Not Provided with Vehicle: Sometimes, especially with used cars, the locking wheel nut key is missing.
