Likewise, do wheel locks really work?

The locks fit on each wheel and make the lug nuts extremely difficult to remove without a key. However, the lug nut locks can be melted quickly with a blowtorch to make them fit a regular wrench, so they are not as effective as wheel locks.

Furthermore, are all wheel lock keys the same? If that's the case, what's the point of the wheel lock when every other Honda owner/thief has the same key? Nope. They vary slightly BUT from what I see at work there's like a 1 in an 8 to 10 chance of having a matching wheel lock (unless the manufacture rotates/changes design after so many castings).

Similarly, it is asked, how do you put a lock on a McGard wheel?

Installation of McGard Lock Nuts:

1. Remove wheel covers (if equipped) and one lug nut from each wheel.
2. Start wheel locks by hand.
3. Using the McGard key and a wrench, tighten each lock to the torque specified in your vehicle owner's manual.
4. Re-torque the locks after 25 miles of driving.

Can you get a replacement wheel lock key?

Basically one of the 4 or 5 bolts on the wheel will have a unique pattern on it that a standard socket will not fit. Keys can get lost, and it's difficult to get replacements, resulting in having to take the locks of all the wheels and replace them with new locks.
