Default Question?

I bought wheel locks from evasive i was moving stuff in and out of my car and some how my bull dog wheel lock key got lost/misplaced. So I've been driving to various shops to get my locks taken off, and I'm having no luck any suggestions?

From what I've seen they've tried hammering a socket and wrenching it off but the socket wont bite. I've also thought about buying these emergency wheel lock remover but I'm not sure what to do about this situation.

Have you contacted Evasive? You could always just buy another set and then you'd have the key again.

Lesson here, careful where you put/keep you key.

Thats really dangerous^.

I tried that with my thinner lug nuts/locks and they got completely stripped.

I had to drill the stud off the wheel, thankfully, I had 25mm spacers. But in the process I severely messed up my wheel.

Anyways... most tire shops have a tool that fits every lock/lug nut. It's like a universal thing where there are bunch of little sticks of metal in a socket that forms to whatever the shape is.

Pretty cool, at the same time, everyone can get their hands on it = bad.
