Lost your locking wheel nut key, snapped it, or found the nut seized solid when you needed to change a tyre? We remove stubborn and keyless locking nuts at your home, work or roadside using specialist extraction tools – so your wheel comes off and you get back on the road. No call-out fee.
Locking wheel nuts are a great theft deterrent – right up until you can’t find the key. One nut on each wheel needs a unique keyed adaptor to undo it, and if that key is lost, broken or was never handed over when you bought the car, a simple tyre change becomes impossible. Add corrosion or a garage that’s over-tightened the nut with an air gun, and even the correct key can round off. From our base in Polmadie (G42), we bring professional extraction tools to your location and remove the nut safely, whether or not you have the key.
The keyed adaptor has gone astray, or was never in the car when you bought it. We remove the nut without it.
The plastic collar has cracked or the teeth have worn so it no longer grips. Common on older locking sets.
An air gun or the wrong key has chewed the pattern off the nut. Our extraction sockets bite into what's left and turn it out.
Salt and age can weld a nut to the hub. We free and back it out, then advise on preventing a repeat.
We remove locking wheel nuts across Glasgow and Central Scotland, including Glasgow City Centre, Bearsden, Newton Mearns, Hamilton and East Kilbride. Send a photo of the nut by WhatsApp and we’ll confirm.
Removing the nut is usually the first step to a tyre job – see mobile tyre fitting, tyre replacement or puncture repair. Stuck at the roadside? See roadside tyre assistance.
Yes. Using specialist extraction tools, we can remove locking wheel nuts even when the key is lost, broken or the wrong one. We grip and back the nut out safely, protecting the alloy wherever possible.
Rounded, corroded or over-tightened nuts are exactly what our extraction sockets are designed for. They bite into the damaged nut and turn it out. It’s a common job – nuts often seize from corrosion or from being over-torqued by a garage’s air gun.
We take care to protect the wheel, and in the great majority of cases the alloy is unaffected. We’ll always explain the method before we start. Once removed, we recommend replacing the locking nut with a standard nut or a fresh locking set.
Yes. Once the old locking nut is out, we can fit a standard wheel nut or a new locking set so your wheel is secure again. If you were changing a tyre, we carry on and complete that in the same visit.
Yes. We carry out removal at your home, workplace or roadside across Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, Falkirk and Central Scotland – no need to reach a garage on a tyre you can’t change.
Send a photo of the nut and your location, and we’ll come to you across Glasgow and Central Scotland to get it off.
