People ring and ask whether we have a master key, and the honest answer is that no such thing exists. The entire point of a locking nut is that its pattern is one of a large number of variations, and the manufacturer holds a record of which pattern went with which car. A key that opened all of them would defeat the purpose of fitting them. So there is no universal key, and anybody claiming otherwise is describing an extractor by another name.
What we have instead is a set of tools that ignore the pattern completely and work on the outside of the nut, which is the same shape on every car. That is why we can turn up to any vehicle without knowing what pattern it uses and still get the wheel off. It also means the nut is scrap by the time it comes away, which is fine, because a plain replacement goes on and the whole problem stops recurring.
The nut in the glovebox is not always the right nut. We can come out in NW10, remove the nut properly with extraction tools rather than optimism, and fit a standard or replacement set so the whole thing stops being a guessing game. Christmas Day in Roundwood, any day in the Walm Lane area: the line is open. Ring at 3am from Roundwood and someone answers; the Walm Lane area at noon is no different.

Parking is the hardest part of any tyre problem around here, and a wheel that will not come off makes it worse, because the car is now stuck in a bay it cannot leave. That is precisely why the tools travel. Whether the car is on the High Road side, off Walm Lane or up towards Dollis Hill, the nut comes off there and the tyre work carries on in the same visit.
There is no master. The patterns are deliberately varied and recorded against the vehicle, which is what makes them worth fitting in the first place.
It will not fit, and trying it is a reliable way to start rounding the pattern. Two cars of the same model rarely share a locking nut code.
The terraces are parked solid and there is nowhere to move to anyway. The nut comes off with the wheel on the ground, so the space is kept and the job is done where it stands.
No, and nobody does. We use extraction tools that grip the outside of the nut, so the pattern inside stops being relevant.
Almost certainly not. Patterns are varied deliberately, and forcing a near-fit key is how a removable nut becomes a rounded one.
No, by design. The tool cuts into it to get a grip. A plain replacement goes on afterwards, torqued to your manufacturer's figure.
Yes, routinely across the Willesden terraces. We do not need you to move the car, so you keep your space.
Minutes for a straightforward one, longer where corrosion has bonded it. Either way it is a single visit with nothing to order.
