Well as some of you know, my key that turns my locking lugs busted last year at shannonville, after trying to remove Nickm50s slicks.

I was trying to figure out a way to get the lugs off. i bought the locking lug remover from princess auto a week ago, but it did not work seeing the lugs were to far set into the rim.
So, i went down to the local for dealership to see if they were factory locking lugs. he told me i had to call McGard.

So i did, and they said all i had to do was mail them the key, and they would replace it at NO CHARGE!!!!

If only i had tried that 5 months ago...

SO i guess this post was just to let you know, if your key breaks, just give them a call....

Good to know

 

My key got lost once, and all I did was pound a 19mm socket on it and replaced the lock once I got it off. Might be another option if anyone dont want to wait.

 

thats good to know likely why when you buy locks they come with a number for the key

 

Good to know.

 

That is good to know, thats what we do at my work to get them off... Or we torch them off. But there is a good chance the rim will get a little messed up so I wouldnt recommend it on nice rims.

Thats wierd, I am a mcgard dealer and I didnt know that.

 

Got my new key in the mail yesterday!
I'm happy, i can finally remove my wheels.!!!!

 

i bought a car that had some on ti and no key the matco kit works awesome but really good to know that keys easy enough to get. not really sure why i put new ones back on the car is never parked out of my site LOL and locks are for honest people. I had a set of rims stolen a few years back and i had mcgard locks on it the too

 

I vouch for this aswell HAHAHA, my wife was cleaning one day and well yeah......my key went MIA, that is when the 19mm came in handy aswell lol

 

I use my 9 mil. Pop pop. Problem solved.
