Need help with a Chrysler wheel lock/lugnut

[DetroitStyle]

*welp* got a flat on my 2018 Compass... changed it at the side of the highway, went to put my repaired tire back on and the wheel lock has completely vanished. I work 6am-6pm in Taylor all weekend... and I’m supposed to leave on a family vacation Monday morning.

I would PREFER not to smash a socket on there.... (done that before). Looking for somebody with access to a master key, dealership help, Discount/Belle Tire assist?

Thanks

EDIT: I did call a local dealer here and Taylor and they told me that they could order a replacement for it, but it would take a week.

try tire shops, see what they can do

My brother and mom both have a compass. Let me see if they got locks.

I have to imagine there can’t be THAT many combos out there for these things?

Checked with them and neither have wheel locks. Sorry

The common thing I see you you use a cut off tool to put a slight radial notch in it, then an air chisel to turn it. If you find the key it will still work as a lock too.

The outer ring spins on most of ours so a lot of methods won’t work

Weld a nut to the face and spin it off.

I like this idea

We used to jam a screwdriver in those and snap the ring, then pound a socket or locknut removal socket on and spin them off with an impact. (I spent 6 years in a tire shop an did countless lock removals).
