lockers can be removed by your local tyre fitters for about £10

my key rounded off so took the car down to the local tyre place, within a few minutes he had 3 off easily, the 4th would not play ball so he chiseled it round until it was free enough to get off with a normal wrench.

all he had was some kind of socket on his air wrench to get them off with.

i bought my renault 16v, went to change the rear tyres and low and dehold locking nuts with no key,went to local renault dealer and they wanted a 4 digit code that the wheel came with or £80 to get them off. ended up beating a 14mm multi rigid socket(not your normal 5 sided socket) on to the locking nut and with a wheel brace managed to get them off. hope this helps.
