buy another one...

if its an actual wheel lock then you should have the serial number with the packaging and they'll send you one.

if its just an aftermarket lug you probably need to buy another set just like it which will include one lug socket and a set of lugs.

No it's a lug not lock and I lost the box with the serial number on it. So I don't know what to do.

Take it to a tire place, tell them you lost the key, have them tear it off. It will mess it up and you won't be able to use it again, but that won't matter because you don't have the key anyway. Then go to pep boys and buy a new lock set, put the locks on and, this time, don't lose the key.

if you gto some good vice grips, you can try and get them off that way. My GF's dad had a cheap set and the key actually cracked the lug nut, so he just got some vice grips and clamped it down on the out side of it and got it off that way? it would still need to be replaced after that... he might have dremeled the sides a bit so the vice grips had some flat ares to clamp too....

I dont know if its possible with the type you have, but the last set we destroyed we took a sledge and a old socket and hammered it over the wheel lock. It has to be a tight fit but it works
