Everything You Need to Know About Wheel Lock

When purchasing a car from Westgate Honda, you’ll receive more than just a quality vehicle. Included in your Theft Locator Module and Security Package is a vital component for your car’s security—wheel locks. This small but essential item ensures that your wheels are safe from theft, offering peace of mind for Honda owners. In this blog, we’ll cover what locking wheel nuts are, why they are important, and how they protect your investment.

What Are Locking Wheel Nuts or Wheel Locks?

Locking wheel nuts, also known as lug nuts or alloy wheel locks, are special fasteners designed to secure your car’s wheels to its hub. Unlike standard nuts that can be easily removed with a wrench, locking wheel nuts require a unique key to be loosened. This prevents unauthorized removal of your wheels, which is a common target for thieves.

Why Wheel Locks are Important?

Locking wheel nuts offer enhanced security, especially if your car has alloy wheels, which are more prone to theft due to their high resale value. These nuts serve as a deterrent, ensuring that your wheels are locked tight and cannot be removed by anyone without the specialized key.

When you buy a car from Westgate Honda, these locking wheel nuts come pre-installed as part of our Theft Locator Module and Security Package. They not only protect your wheels but also help maintain the car’s appearance and safety.

How Do Wheel Locks Works?

The locking wheel nuts are fastened in place like regular wheel nuts, but the difference lies in their unique design. Each set of locking wheel nuts has a corresponding key, which fits into a special pattern on the nut. Without this key, removing the nut is almost impossible, making it extremely difficult for thieves to steal your wheels.

When you purchase your Honda from Westgate Honda, you’ll receive the key as part of the package, along with instructions on how to use it properly.

What Happens if You Lose the Wheel Lock Key?

It’s essential to keep the locking wheel nut key in a safe place, such as your car’s glove compartment. However, if you do happen to misplace it, don’t worry! At Westgate Honda, we offer services to help replace lost or damaged locking wheel nut keys. Simply contact our Parts department, and we’ll assist you in getting a replacement.
