FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the McGard 27201SU set?

The primary purpose is to secure your vehicle's alloy wheels against theft by using unique, difficult-to-replicate locking bolts.

How do I know if these bolts will fit my car?

You must verify the thread size (M14x1.5), length (29.5mm), seat type (60 Degree), and hex size (17mm) match your vehicle's specifications and your alloy wheels. Consulting your vehicle manual or a professional is recommended, as listed compatibility is a guide only.

What happens if I lose the key?

If you have the original security code provided with the packaging, you can order a replacement key directly from McGard. Keep this code in a safe place.

Are these bolts suitable for all types of wheels?

These are specifically designed as 'tuner' style locking bolts, intended for alloy wheels that may have multiple bolt holes or slimline bolt holes. They may not be suitable for all steel or other types of wheels.

What is the material of these locking bolts?

They are constructed from hardened alloy steel, ensuring high strength and durability.

Are these bolts Thatcham approved?

Yes, McGard locking nuts and bolts are Thatcham approved, indicating they meet recognized security standards.

How many locking bolts are typically needed per vehicle?

It is standard practice to install one locking wheel bolt per wheel, meaning a set of four is typically sufficient for most passenger vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Locking bolt key does not fit or turn

Ensure you are using the correct key for the specific locking bolt. Verify the bolt is seated properly and not cross-threaded. If the key or bolt is damaged, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Difficulty in tightening bolts to the correct torque

Ensure the bolt threads are clean and free of debris. Use a calibrated torque wrench. If the bolt feels excessively tight or loose, stop and re-evaluate compatibility and installation.

Lost the unique locking wheel bolt key

Locate the security code that came with the product packaging. Contact McGard directly to order a replacement key, quoting the security code. Without the code, obtaining a replacement key may be more difficult or impossible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check:

Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify that the McGard 27201SU set is compatible with your specific vehicle's wheel studs and alloy wheels. The product details specify M14x1.5 thread size, 29.5mm length, a 60-degree seat, and a 17mm hex. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a qualified mechanic if you are unsure. The manufacturer notes that vehicle compatibility should be used as a guide, and variants are common. Double-checking listing details and contacting the seller for confirmation prior to purchase is recommended.

Installation:

  1. Remove one of the standard wheel bolts.
  2. Screw in a McGard locking wheel bolt by hand.
  3. Tighten the locking wheel bolt using the provided unique key and a torque wrench to the manufacturer's specified torque setting for your vehicle.
  4. Repeat for each wheel, ensuring one locking bolt is used per wheel.

Care:

  • Keep the unique key in a safe and accessible place, separate from your other tools. The security code provided with the packaging is essential for ordering replacement keys, so do not discard the packaging until you are certain you have stored the code safely.
  • Clean the locking bolts periodically with a soft cloth to prevent dirt and grime buildup, which could affect the key's fit.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the bolt's finish.
