My car was written off and hauled away to scrap a few months ago. However, I still have the coded socket for the secure lug nuts (one per wheel).

I can’t think of a good reason to keep it, but thought I’d ask here before chucking it.

    No. Every wheel lock kit comes with the socket/key required, and there are so many different wheel locks out there you are VERY unlikely to need/use the one you have on a different vehicle.

    That said; you should always keep your wheel lock socket/key either in your glove box or with the roadside jack for the spare tire of your car. You don’t want to end up at a mechanic or stuck on the side of the road without it. (so it should have just gone with the writen off car too)

      Thanks, that’s what I figured.

      And for the record, the keyed socket was actually in the car until we emptied everything out of it (including the wheel kit).
