    Lug nut key - HELP!

    Through some stupidity on my part, I lost my lug key after changing a tire. I want to remove the remaining three locking lug nuts and need a key.
    Does anyone have one that would work on this lug that I could borrow?
    BTW, off a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn.

    I went to.my local ford house where I bought and they let me borrow full set. They put them on for theft so likely your dealer did

      Others have drive sockets tight over them but my way was easier

          There are bolt extractors that work well with an impact if the wheels aren’t too tight to the lug nuts to prevent them from fitting.

            I was told there are only 5 different ones.

                    I sell a kit of lug nut keys that has 16 different styles and it does not carry any custom rim configurations. The easiest way is to buy the Rocket socket and take them off. Keep it in your glove box. Once you get all the locking lugnuts off throw them in the nearest field and put regular ones back on.

                      I don't know if you can get one big enough to go around the lug nut, but this is how I got my locking lug nuts off my boat

                        Or just take an angle grinder and grind flat spots on the lock so you can get a wrench in it.

                          Just get cheap harbor freight socket and hammer on. Might have to weld it on.

                            Lots of good suggestions on here. I prefer the hammer a socket on method.

                            Or go to discount tire. Never done that one though.

                              Thieves will be thieves , I am more worried about having a flat out on a ranch and not having the key, then I am about finding the truck up on blocks
                              I never have had wheel locks, but better follow this thread just Incase we are in a tight spot
                              Without a key
