Getting wheel locks off without a key?

[HyPer50]

Ok, I just bought a blazer, and it has some locks (1 on each wheel) on it and I dont have a key for it. I've never seen this type of lock before tho, it's just a round lug nut, nothin' that I can see that a key would match up with... So before I go out there and try and chisel it to spin it off.... Anyone know of any places that might be able to make a key for it or somethin? I dont wanna chance fuckin' up the wheel (which is probably what would happen if I went out there with a chisel). I'm sure this isn't the right section, but I just figured I'd post this here and get as many replies as I could real quick since I want to try and get it done today... even though most places are closed today. Thanks.

21mm 12 point chrome socket, hammer it on and break them loose. that or I think sears sells a wheel lock removal tool.

or go to a ford dealership. most dealers have a master key set. I know we at toyota had em.

exactly, depending on the wheel sometimes you need a thin wall socket...to get the lug out of the socket you'll prolly need to torch it and take a 1/4 extentension and hammer it out...just don't be like me and grab both the socket and lug after heating it up nearly white.. (hey, it was 3am and was in a hurry!)

I agree go to the dealer they have a set of every wheel lock/key.

that's not possible, not on this particular lug anyways...i'm 99.9% positive this is the round lug that has the oblong weird blob shape key hole where every single set is supposed to be differant.

yeh but what if the key lock wasn't from the dealer and is aftermarket, then I would go to sears and get the kit, I believe its made by craftsman.

[HyPer50]

would hammering a socket on it really do anything in my case? cause from what I see on the nut there is no surface for anything to grab onto, it looks to be just a perfectly rounded surface. I'll probably try and stop by Chevy if I get a day off this week. Thanks much.

If you think they are aftermarket go by a tire shop. I used to work at Discount Tire on Busby, we had all sorts of keys

They definatly are aftermarket... it's a 1990 chevy blazer, i dont think they came with factory wheel locks heh. They are American Racing Torque Thrust 2 wheels.... no clue who made the lock tho.

Hammering on the socket will work

or if a welder is available, tack a socket to it. or yea a chizel or a punch and a hammer sometimes works

I would try a tire shop first, before you destroy the lugs. they might have wut you need in stock.

there is a wheel lock removing kit u can buy at sears, its like a broken bolt extractor that has spiral reverse threads.
