I was going to start my front springs, new struts, and tie rod install the other day but I couldn't find my wheel lock key. I have no clue where it is. I have spent at least ten hours looking for it in the past two days, searching my entire house, entire garage, even in bushes/flowers around my house just in case it rolled into one, and checked tool by tool at least three times. Looking for the key itself, I came across the order form to send in for another one. The wheel lugs/locks are from summit i think and the brand is mr lug nut. I just got the mail returned to me saying address not found. So, im back to having no wheel lock and no way of ordering a new one i guess. Does anyone else have mr lug nut lugs/wheel locks? Has anyone had to order another wheel lock by mailing them the number and money? I guess if i cant order another key, I will have to get the other ones off, whats the best way of doing this? And lastly, if i have to order new lugs/locks, whats the best brand so that i can order another key just in case, if this would to happen again i would want a back up key. Like i said i have no clue where it is, I always keep it in a safe spot, seeing how its one thing that I most definetely need. I have a feeling someone saw it and placed it somewhere and now doesnt remember where they put it. Anyways, thanks for the help guys....

That happend to me. I took my car to Canadian Tire and they got them off. Used a reverse spline tool that bites into the lock and gets it right off.

It wont have enough grip to loosen them if they are put on by an airgun. Why bother ruining a socket and risk smashing your rims with a hammer when there is a tool made specifically for this reason.
