All the tire shops that I deal with can remove the locks. Hopefully you'll find that to be the case where you live as well.

if you want to try to do it on your own, heres a trick that I use. Take a 12 point socket. Get one that will just barely fit over the locked lug. Pick a size that will allow you to bang the socket over the lock. Bang it on there pretty good. If you have an air gun... zip it off. If not take your rachet and turn the socket. hope this works! GL!

Air gun, lots of force, tire shop pros. The only way.
I recommend ordering new security locks though.
Good luck
