With the STEELMAN PRO 78537 16-Piece Locking Lug Master Key Set on hand, when that time comes you can get the job done instead of spend all day trying to figure out how to get the wheels off your car.

What's not so great is not being able to find the special key needed to remove them when it's time to change brake pads or rotate the tires. Locking lug nuts are a great way to prevent expensive wheels and rims from being stolen. The other Master Keys such as our Fire Brigade keys work because the fire service has maintained the same pinnings to mean different forces up and down the country can ensure access to the fire service locks.Steelman Pro 16-Piece Locking Lug Master Key Set Making them very effective 'try-out' keys when working in the field. Over the years, lots of these predictable and common pinnings have been recorded, and those patterns are what our master keys are based on.

Especially since 'Mastered' locks tend to use very predictable and common pinning patterns. However, with 3 pins and 2 splits, the possible combinations are a lot less, and so security is slightly compromised. The 'actual' key works by aligning the first split in this set, the master key aligns the second split. To make this work, the locks have 3 pins rather than the usual 2. The idea being should someone lose their key, the staff can still give them access to their locker, so they're not leaving the swimming pool in the nude! A good example would be in a Gymnasium locker room.

This means that although all the individual locks have individual keys, there s also a 'Master' key, which will open them all. Occasionally, someone will ask that the locks they use in their institution, organisation etc have 'mastered' locks.
