What are Wheel Locks?
Wheel locks are a common form of theft prevention. They’re usually small, cylindrical devices that fit onto the hubs of a wheel, and can be locked using a key or code. When someone wants to take a wheel off of a vehicle, they have to use the key or code to unlock the lock, then use their own strength to pull the wheel off of the hub. Wheel locks are usually only effective if the thief has access to the vehicle’s keys or code. If the wheel is locked using a disc (like on a bike), the thief needs both the key and disc in order to unlock it.
Some vehicles come with wheel locks as standard equipment, while others require that you buy them separately. Wheel locks can cost anywhere from $10-30, and they’re an effective way to prevent theft.
How to Remove Wheel Locks Without a Key
If you need to remove wheel locks but don’t have the key, there are a few methods you can use. One option is to use a plunger. Put the plunger over the hub of the wheel and push and twist it until the lock pops off. Another option is to use a battery-powered drill. Insert the bit into the lock and turn it until it clicks off. Finally, you can use a piece of metal wire to pry open the lock.
How to Remove Wheel Locks Without a Lock Picking Tool
If you don’t have a lock picking tool, there are several other ways to remove wheel locks without one. The most common method is to use an impact wrench. You can also use a drill, screwdriver or pliers. Just make sure the object you’re using is heavy enough to do the job and tough enough to withstand the torque from the impact wrench.
