Missing Ford locking wheel nut key (05 fiesta)

[Big Rig]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a cheap replacement one or best just to buy another set and get a tyre place to remove these ones for me?

[Tommo87]

Yes, you can buy a new IF you know the code. And

Yes. You can buy lockers from Ford or elsewhere and

Yes, some tyre places have the kits to remove them.


You just need to ring around and ask.

I used these people when the locking wheel nut was missing from my Renault Twingo

I had a similar problem with my Octavia and the local Skoda garage had a kit with all the different ones to take them off, I'd assume a Ford dealer would have the same. I replaced with normal wheel bots, does anyone steal car wheels any more?

We lost our BMW one a few years ago and I went to the dealers who gave me their master set to try each to find out which one I needed, then they ordered one for me. Very little hassle and it was there in a couple of days and only a few quid. Might be worth asking the dealer.

Happy customer of LockingWheelNutKeys here.

Note to self, after you put the wheel nuts on, do not leave the locking nut socket on the wheel.

Very simple process, take photo of locking nut (as square on as possible) - and I think evidence that you own the car, they send you a new socket.

Do you have the plastic bag the locker came in? There's a coloured dot on it, that's how you know which to order

Get the locking nuts removed and replace with ordinary nuts. Locking wheel nuts are often more hassle than they are worth...!

Hmm. Maybe though I agree they are hassle.
Depends how attractive your wheels are to the light-fingered brigade. Insurers may not be too impressed with a claim if they discover the full facts.
