FAQs

What is the primary purpose of McGard locking wheel bolts?

Their primary purpose is to prevent the theft of your vehicle's wheels by acting as a security device that requires a unique key for removal.

How do I find the correct locking wheel bolt size for my car?

You should check your vehicle's owner's manual for the original bolt specifications (thread size, length, seat type) or consult a McGard vehicle compatibility chart. Incorrect fitment can be dangerous.

Can I order a replacement key if I lose mine?

Yes, spare or replacement keys can be ordered directly from McGard. You will need to provide the unique security code that was included in the original packaging.

Are McGard locking wheel bolts suitable for all types of wheels?

McGard offers a wide variety of applications, but compatibility should always be verified for your specific wheel type (e.g., alloy, steel) and vehicle model.

What does 'Thatcham approved' mean?

Thatcham approval signifies that the product has met stringent security standards set by Thatcham Research, an independent organization that assesses vehicle security devices.

How many locking bolts are included in a set?

Typically, a set includes four locking wheel bolts and one matching key, intended for securing one bolt on each wheel.

What material are McGard SU locking wheel bolts made from?

They are constructed from specially hardened steel, designed for high strength and resistance to tampering.

Troubleshooting

Key will not engage with the bolt

Ensure you are using the correct McGard key for the installed bolts. Check for any debris in the key slot or bolt head and clean if necessary.

Difficulty removing the wheel bolt

Confirm you are turning the bolt in the correct direction (counter-clockwise). Ensure the torque wrench is set to the correct specification and apply steady pressure.

Lost security code

Contact McGard directly. You may need to provide proof of purchase or other vehicle details to order a replacement key. Do not discard original packaging, as it may contain this code.

Bolt head damaged

If the bolt head is significantly damaged, professional assistance may be required to remove it without damaging the wheel. Contact a qualified mechanic or McGard support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the correct bolt size for your vehicle's wheel. Tighten the locking wheel bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification using a torque wrench. Always install one locking bolt per wheel in place of a standard bolt.

Compatibility: McGard offers a wide range of measurements and applications. It is crucial to verify the correct bolt pattern, thread size, and seat type (e.g., conical or spherical) for your specific vehicle make, model, and year before purchasing. Consult your vehicle's manual or a McGard compatibility guide.

Care: Clean the bolts periodically with a soft, damp cloth to maintain their appearance and prevent corrosion. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Store the unique key in a safe place, separate from the wheel bolts, and keep the provided security code in a secure location for future reference, especially if you need to order a replacement key.
