Default Wheel Locks

Can anyone here help? I for the life of me cannot seem to find the key to my wheel locks. About the only search result I get from the internet is use a socket just big enough and bang it onto the wheel lock so as to grip the lock and loosen it. Is there another way?

I had the same happen to my wifes SUV.
I did the socket trick and it worked, your going to need replace all of the locks anyway.
Buy several cheap sockets at the auto parts store
only other method I know of is buy a set of easy outs

If it isn't McGard lugs, you could try a Gator Grip socket. They sell them on Amazon, big box hardware stores, Ace might have them.

Not sure if i would work or not, but worth a try before pounding a socket on, or watch this (although I wouldn't do the sledge & cold chisel as he gums up the hell out of his wheel):

just take it down to discount tire or equivalent with a new set of lug nuts and ask them to remove them. They will have a key or can remove them pretty easy.
