Question:
The locking nut for the hubcap assembly was not installed correctly and I cannot screw it back in to tighten down the hubcap. Also the hubcap locking door does not lock back.

Hey John,
If you've stripped out the locking nut for the Trimax Heavy Duty Adjustable Wheel Lock with Padlock # TMX42ZR then you'll need to replace that part, and you can find one at a local hardware store.
When it comes to the locking door, is the cam not rotating, or does the lock core seem to be broken?
