Wheel nut. Help identifying part needed

[Roscoeyo]

The ford dealership I bought the Bronco from can’t help identifying the part to remove these. Any help?

If you just bought this from a dealership, and they didn't give you the key for these. Take it back have them remove them and replace them with either the Ford wheel locks, or regular lug nuts.

I hear you. The thing is it's a security lock. So by Nature they should not be easy to find the key for. Not saying it's impossible, but not really how it's supposed to be.

This is probably your best option

Have you already checked your console/glovebox/jack storage area for a key or info card for those? Some locking lug companies allow you to register and get replacement keys, but that's usually when they're sold - if you don't have the accompanying card, they probably can't help.
Tire shops are fairly accustomed to removing locking lugs destructively, as a last resort.
I personally don't use locking lugs but I know some people might have nice wheels or park in sketchy areas.

Yeah that is a security lug nut. Not a Ford part.

When you buy a set, that set will come with a piece of paper that identifies the pattern code. You have to use that pattern code to order a replacement socket. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of different pattern codes available.

So unless you have the pattern code you're basically stuck. From personal experience dealing with used cars, I can tell you that piece of paper with the pattern code is often stored in the glove box along with the manual. But obviously is dependent on what the previous owner did.

Also check your Bronco's tool kit (assuming the previous owner left it for you). I have similar locks, and I personally store my socket in the Bronco tool kit.

Street thugs can get those off faster than anyone with any kind of key.

One of these applied to the right body part of the previous owner should get them to cough it up.

Contact McGard and send them that picture. They should easily be able to match it up and get you a new key.

Yep.

Also check back by the jack under the trunk carpet in case they may have left it there.

Dealers insist on including those. I immediately put the factory lug nuts/bolts back on and toss the security things.

Easy fix on the side of the road is worth way more to me than a set of wheels. While nothing's foolproof I do have the advantage of parking in a garage at home and generally driving around in better parts of town, to put a thumb on that scale.

Thanks everyone for your help. Bronco was specced new by me and came with these hence I thought ford could help. I had the key but has disappeared from the vehicle. Going to email the above but have replacements good to go in any case.
