What is to stop anyone else who buys this from using the "key" to take off someone else's lug nuts? Is each key unique?

From what I understood from the manufacture there are several keys. Any one could be sent out with each set. I would email them for the official answer.

Each key is not unique, anyone motivated enough can get them off, same with all other lockin lug nuts!

Yes, it is a "unique" key. You don't "cut" a new key, you program the lockset to accept a different key. If you have other "Kwikset" keys laying around, you can use those. Very neat lockset.

Who needs a key when you can just break it very easily? I wouldn't buy this if it wasn't the only thing that you could use for a game cam security box. I got 2 stolen just a couple weeks ago.

NOT TRUE. I bought two, one for each of my children, and they have exactly the same key. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

This lug nut is exactly the same as the original lug nuts except that it cannot be removed without the key.

There is a very small chance that the same key may fit another set of wheel locks. If you can find your registration papers you could contact McGard and order a new key which might be more expensive than buying another set of wheel locks. A reputable tire shop could remove your wheel locks for a charge which is better than being stranded on the side of the road.

That's a tough one to answer. I only have the one lock so nothing to compare their "uniqueness" too. I guess you order two and see if the keys match? If not, return one. If yes, return both.

These are designed to remove the mechanism different manufacturers use to prevent wheel and hubcap theft. It will remove the keyed lug nuts and hub cap screws of quite a few designs but without knowing who made the wheel or the vehicle and what your locking mechanism specifically is I couldn't comment on its ability to remove your specific wheel.

The key cylinder in one of my locks is upside down and requires a special tool to remove it. Does this key kit have such a tool? Also, what is the purpose of the two supplied tools.

Do get any off market key from here, I bought one, they cannot sync the fob to my car, had to go to dealer, however, the material of the key is not decent, they cannot cut it to fit my car, and cannot sync the fob with my car either.

I suggest you find a Roadmaster forum and ask that question, I only bought the key because it was brand specific.

no because each lock has a different key even if its the same brand and number( ex if someone buys a lock that

If you can't get a replacement key from McGard and don't want to try yourself, take it to a mechanic/tire shop. They should be able to get them off. My mechanic has done it before. Nice car btw.

Well to steal it someone would have to have the right tools with them it isn't something I worry about personally. I ended up adding a couple of spacers to get mine to fit properly on my Sportseagen. Jeff

The key is a magnet. Just buy a small, powerful rare Earth magnet as a replacement.

No it doesn't. But I haven't had any problem with lug nuts. I'd not know what they were to be torqued at anyway. I have used this wrench on many things and it works well. It does seem like maybe it is not going to break a lug or bolt loose, but it does and retightens just fine with no effort on my part.

Hi Adam, you probably already have your answer but here are my 2cents. It comes with 20 lug nuts and a special "key" socket that fits a 1/2 inch wrench. You won't be able to put these on or take them off without the key socket.
