If they are OEM, then the dealership should have a set of keys.

if not, the tire shop should have a "master key" it will destroy the wheel lock but it will come off

Most tire shops also have 5-10 of the most common keys.

The dealership definitely has the wheel lock keys on hand as i had them on my accord and wanted them to rotate the tires. I never provided them with the wheel lock key yet they still managed to rotate the tires.

5-10? My friends auto repair shop has over 100 that they've collected over the years. Every now and then they will hit the lottery and have the right key. LOL

The method in youtube video has worked for me a few times. Other times I had to resort to welding a nut onto the lock to get it off.
