Lock Bolts - Wheel Nuts

Locking wheel fasteners feature a unique head pattern that can be removed only with a matching key socket, deterring thieves from stealing your wheels in seconds.

Key variants

1. Lock bolts – for hub-threaded vehicles (e.g., most EU cars).
2. Lock nuts – for stud-mounted hubs (common on US/Japanese cars).
3. Cone / ball seat – match the OE lug seating angle or radius.
4. Rotating collar locks – extra protection against gripping tools.

Selection tips

• Thread & pitch – e.g., M12×1.5, M14×1.25.
• Shank length – equal to the factory bolt/nut length.
• Seat type – 60° cone, R12/R13 ball or flat washer.
• Key pattern complexity – more unique codes = harder to replicate.
• Material & coating – hardened alloy steel with zinc or chrome finish.

Install one lock per wheel and keep the key socket in a safe yet accessible place (e.g., glove box, not with the jack) to ensure both security and service convenience.
