"Bought my BMW second-hand and the locking nut key was missing. Dealer wanted me to bring it in and quoted a fortune. TyreForce came to my drive, had all four off in 40 minutes, and fitted a new set. Half the dealer price."

What We Do
Specialist Locking Wheel Nut Extraction
Locking wheel nuts are designed to prevent theft — each set uses a unique pattern that requires a matching key socket to remove. They're excellent security, right up until the key goes missing. And it happens more often than you'd think: lost during a previous tyre change, misplaced in a house move, or simply never included when you bought the car second-hand.
Without the key, you can't remove the wheel — which means you can't change a flat tyre, can't get new tyres fitted, and can't have your brakes serviced. Dealers will often want the car brought in and may charge significant labour for removal. Our mobile service solves this problem at your location, usually in under 30 minutes per wheel.
Our technicians use a range of specialist extraction tools designed to grip the locking nut without the original key. In most cases, this is completely non-destructive — the nut comes off cleanly and your alloy remains unmarked. We can then supply and fit a new locking nut set so your wheels stay protected going forward.
How It Works
Removal in 3 Steps
Assess the Nut
We identify the locking nut type (OEM or aftermarket), assess its condition, and select the appropriate extraction method to minimise risk of damage.
Extract
Using specialist grip sockets and extraction tools, we remove the locking nut. Non-destructive methods are always attempted first to protect your alloy wheels.
Replace & Secure
With the old lock nut removed, we can change your tyre, fit new locking nuts, or hand you back a wheel that's ready for any future service.
