Does this come with a tire lugnut lock? Without clocking the tire, on a tandem axel trailer, all the thief has to do is remove the wheel.

I am pretty sure that it does not come with a lugnut lock. Yes, I think it can be defeated by removing the wheel. However, with that said I still really like the Club 491 Tire Claw. It provided another layer of security that doesn't revolve around the steering wheel. Finally can't you buy seperate locking lugnuts, which is a good idea!

Yes, you are correct, the thief may be able to remove the tire, although that would take time, and the thief would have to put a new tire on to tow it away.

I have a bike lock to the spare wheel and the frame of the bike rack. You should also have a wheel nut lock to prevent theft on the whole wheel.

Hi, yes it comes with a chain lock. I find it works great. I have ajust the entry angle slightly to provide longevity on the tooth.

No it doesn't have wheel lock so if you're on a slope you'll need to turn the cart so it isn't angled towards a downslope.

Not really theft proof but they do have a set screw that takes a small hex wrench. If you did not loosen the screw you probably could twist the valve stem caps off of the stem with some force. It might damage the stem the Tyredog caps or both. It sort of falls in the category of "Locks keep the honest people out". I would call it "Theft deterrent". Of course without the display unit that is inside the car the caps are useless and vice versa for you if the caps get stolen.

Normally you place one lock nut on each wheel, just remember to put the key adapter in your glove box so you or tire repair shop can remove lug in future.

No, it doesn't. I used self-tapping bolts and drilled through the toolbox and down into the trailer frame. Four bolts and it's very secure

It doesn't prevent this. If you want max security, get the keyed lugs. My car would be of most interest to joy riders. It doesn't have a lot of cash value so it seems very unlikely someone would risk the time it would take to change the tire. Your car may be a more enticing target. In which case, keyed lugs would be a good idea.

The steel reinforced straps are meant as a deterrent for thieves trying to cut the straps (or make it difficult for them from doing so and it's not worth the effort). How did you have yours stolen? Were they cut? I have mine secured in such a way so that the straps go into the wheel well for the spare tire. You can't pull it out (I've tried).

It looks like it goes through the top ring that is around the nut. Search Bal 28015 (Bal's lock). I own these tire locks but they are at my storage facility currently so I don't have immediate access to them.

one other thing, if you go to reputable tire and auto shop, there techs should easily be able to remove the locks within a few minutes. If they saythey can't , they just don't want to. I have a tire and auto shop and we can remove most lug locks rather quickly, the originals that is . They probably would not charge you more than 25.00 to 30.00 and then replace your locks with regular lugs for just a few bucks. Hope this helps.

Yes but it is a little tricky. It all depends on the locking mechanism. I forgot which wheel I purchased; I had to tape over the locking mechanism as it was not a perfect fit. You have no other choice. I discovered different manufacturing of item varied just a bit. I guess it was a marketing tool for us to purchase extra wheels at the time of purchase. I also just place my finger on it to hold firm. Let me know what you discover. The best to you, Bll

Well, it actually clips not to the tire, but to the disc of disc brake.IMO you should compare dimensions of your discs against dimensions of this lock.Please refer to following video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yffVZpcPiYand following fitment char:http://www.xenasecurity.com/fitment/main/page1/Hope this helps...

It comes with a bolt (that bolts the rack to your trailer hitch), so unless the person trying to steal it has two large wrenches you should be fine. I guess a better answer is, it does not come with a lock anywhere on the hitch.

The wheels do have locks. But, this is a very basic unit and the wheels, not being a very high quality, do not really move of their own accord at all. It stays put on its own. I have never used the locks, nor have I tried to remove them so I can't answer that. But I think they just slipped in so maybe they can be. You can always just not install them.

Yes they do. I don't know where everyone else got their answers. There is a little silver button on the brake grip. Just pull the brake grip, push down the button and slowly release the brake grip. The pin will hold the brake in place and lock the back tire.

No, does not. I took old wheel and new tire to a tire store. They put it on for 10.00
