Bolt Lock 5922986 Spare Tire and Wheel Lock for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Awesome product. You replace one of the standard lug nuts with a special lug nut/stud that you just removed. This new nut/stud has a raised rim around the end of the stud to engage with the lock. I should mention that the lock is easily keyed to your jeeps keys, very easy to do, so there is not another key to keep up with. There is also a metal collar that goes around the stud to prevent tampering of the stud. I am VERY security minded, so I placed a large washer on the stud, between the wheel and the lock. This washer completely covers the opening to access the stud. This addition may require a small bump with your fist to secure the lock, but prevents someone from grabbing the metal sleeve with a pair of vise grips, crimping the ring on the stud very tight, and then taking the whole lock and stud off, defeating your reason for buying it. If a theif wants something bad enough they will steal anything, but with my washer addition, I feel safer, but I am sure with just the lock, they will move onto the next jeep that doesn't have the lock. DO NOT BUY those so-called lug nuts, they are easily defeated, they would hardly slow down a pro.

I installed the bolt lock on my 2015 Willys Wrangler. Install was extremely simple and I was able to program the lock in only a few seconds. This lock replaces one of the lug nuts and secures so that the lock spins freely. This means (in theory) vice grips and/or a large socket wrench will not work to remove the lock and steal the spare. I read reviews on the large size and was a bit worried about appearance. A day after install I got over that and now just see it as part of the vehicle. I use the bolt lock along with a mopar lug lock. The bolt lock looks to be a better theft deterrent, the mopar lock has a cleaner finish. My spare is still intact after two months in a neighborhood where I see a lot of missing spares. Bolt lock is a must have for Los Angeles or any city with trash/scrap pickers or theives looking for easy targets.

I have seen too many Jeeps riding around lately with a missing spare tire and did not want that to happen to my brand new spare. I first bought an open package deal from Amazon they claimed was complete and as new, BUT it had already been keyed to the original buyer's ignition key and was totally useless to me. I can't believe it was resold; anyway, I got a new ond and it took longer to get my tools out than to key it to my ignition key AND install it. I am very pleased with it's look and functionality.

The product looks good, but the nut comes loose, so the block doesn't stay in place and can be completely removed. It's no good.

Many of the reviews of this product are technically correct, but confusing. Maybe this will help: The lock works by replacing one of the stock lug nuts on your spare tire carrier studs with the one included with the large black and red cylinder lock. The lock then fits over the outside of the nut and locks on the grooved projection. If the length of the new lug nut MATCHES the depth of your wheel rim recess, everything works great. The problem is that Jeeps and their owners have dozens of wheel variations and many people find that the flats on the lug nut are still accessible if the recess is too shallow, or the lock will not lock if the recess is too deep. If you do your homework and order the right model number lock to fit your wheels, all will be fine. I followed instructions and ordered the recommended one for my 2013 Rubicon with stock wheels and it fit perfectly. Pros: Very well made, the key learn feature is great, appears very secure. Cons: Very long and sticks out even in the right size, very pricey. Bottom line: I'd buy it again.

Just bought this for my 2016 2dr Sahara Jeep. There's not much I can add to the review that others haven't pointed out. I took one extra step by using blue Locktite for added security on the lug before installing. For my application, which is ordering the correct Bolt Lock for use on an OEM wheel (not a different size/style aftermarket), it offers enough security that I no longer worry if the tire will be easily stolen. The greatest plus is the fact that it pairs with your Jeep's ignition key. Simply insert your key, turn to the open position, and it's done! No spare keys to keep up with or lose. It was really that simple. I would (and have) recommend the Bolt Lock to others as a great alternative to cable and traditional wheel locks - that are also fairly easy to defeat by the way.

This is a nicely built lock and would likely create a delay for someone trying to steal your Jeep Wrangler spare tire. For my application, the lug nut is still somewhat exposed, but would require a specialty tool to remove when the lock is installed. Unfortunately due to it's size, it can't be used with the tire cover on (and I usually have mine on), for a stock Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I chose to keep it becuase I will likely remove the tire cover when traveling. Three stars because the description and packaging does not do a good job of telling you what it WONT fit.

This installed very easily, and having it keyed to my ignition key means I don't have a wad of keys to carry around! I already have too many different keys for my Jeep, Tuffy locks, gas cap locks etc. and finding the Bolt branded locks that will all key to the ignition key was amazing. This looks like it will keep the spare tire pretty secure as you cannot get to the nut to remove it with the lock in place. It fits fine in my stock wheels, and looks like it would fit most aftermarket wheels as well.

Great design but a tight fit for my custom rims.Very well made.

I actually loved it, eazy to use no need to hold extra keys

Funciona muy bien

El producto me llegó tal cual se ofertó en la publicación de Amazon.

Liked the product and security provided for spare tire. Cons is that bolt is to long if you want to put a cover over the Wheel
