FAQs

What is included in a McGard 27000SU set?

Each set includes four (4) McGard SU locking wheel bolts and one (1) unique removal key.

How do I know if this locking bolt set is compatible with my car?

This specific set (27000SU) is for M14x1.5 thread size, 32mm length, 60-degree cone seat, and a 17mm hex head. Always verify your vehicle's original lug bolt specifications in your owner's manual or by measuring existing bolts.

What is the difference between SU and SL McGard ranges?

The SU (Standard) range is a highly effective anti-theft lock. The SL (Ultra High Security) range offers enhanced protection, often incorporating a rotating protective sleeve around the bolt head to further deter theft methods.

How secure are these locking wheel bolts?

The McGard SU range is constructed from specially hardened steel, making them highly resistant to drilling and tampering, providing a significant level of security against wheel theft.

Can I buy an extra key?

Yes, extra keys can often be purchased directly from McGard, provided you have your unique key code. It is recommended to register your key code with McGard upon purchase.

What happens if I lose my key?

If you lose your key, you will need to contact McGard with your key code for a replacement. In some cases, a professional may be able to remove the locking bolt, but this may involve damaging the bolt.

Can these bolts be used with alloy wheels?

Yes, these bolts are designed to be compatible with most factory and aftermarket alloy wheels, provided the seat type (60-degree cone) and dimensions match your wheel's requirements.

Troubleshooting

Key will not engage with the locking bolt.

Ensure you are using the correct key for the bolt. Check for any debris lodged in the key slot or bolt head and clean carefully. Verify the bolt is the correct McGard model for your vehicle.

Locking bolt is difficult to screw in.

Confirm you are not cross-threading. Hand-tighten the bolt initially. Ensure the bolt is the correct specification (thread, length, seat type) for your vehicle's wheel hub. Clean the bolt threads and hub opening.

Lost the unique key.

Contact McGard customer support with your key code (if registered) or the details of your purchase. They may be able to provide a replacement key. If not, a qualified mechanic may be able to remove the bolt, potentially with some damage to the bolt head.

Wrench/socket does not fit the bolt head.

Ensure you are using the correct size hex socket (17mm for this model) and that it is fully seated on the bolt head. Using the wrong size socket can damage the bolt head and make removal impossible.

Setup:

  2. Remove one standard lug bolt at a time and replace it with a McGard locking wheel bolt.
  3. Hand-tighten the locking bolt first to avoid cross-threading.
  4. Use a torque wrench to tighten all bolts to your vehicle manufacturer's specified torque setting. Do not overtighten.
  5. Store the unique key in a safe place, separate from your regular car keys, to prevent loss.

Compatibility:

  • The McGard 27000SU set is designed for vehicles requiring M14x1.5 thread size, 32mm length, and a 60-degree cone seat with a 17mm hex head. Always verify your vehicle's specific lug bolt requirements before purchase. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or consult a professional if unsure.

Care:

  • Periodically check that the locking bolts remain securely tightened.
  • Clean the bolts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or protective coating.
  • Keep the unique key clean and dry.
