If a wheel lock key is lost, the vehicle owner should contact the manufacturer or merchant for a replacement immediately, according to Brandsport. It is important to have the key on hand in the event of a flat tire, a broken lug nut or if the vehicle must be serviced.
To stay on the safe side, motorists should keep a spare wheel lock key in an accessible place. If traveling long distances, it is an excellent idea to keep a spare in the glove box. Likewise, drivers of vehicles without custom wheel locks should keep a tire iron in their trunk at all times.
