Broken Key Exctraction

A snapped key fragment inside a cylinder prevents access and risks damaging the internal pins. We provide professional Broken Key Extraction to remove the obstruction safely. Our technicians use specialized extraction tools to clear the lock, restoring its functionality without the need for a full replacement.

Professional Broken Key Extraction

A snapped key fragment inside a front door or deadbolt prevents entry and risks damaging the internal pins permanently. We specialize in Broken Key Extraction to clear the blockage safely. Our technicians utilize precision tools to remove the broken piece without compromising the lock’s integrity, often saving you the cost of replacing the entire hardware assembly.

Expert Standards for Key Extraction

Attempting to remove a broken key with household items like superglue or wires usually pushes the fragment deeper. Homeowners choose us because we use dedicated extraction tools designed to grip the metal fragment securely. We prioritize non-destructive methods to preserve your current locks, ensuring you regain access without unnecessary damage to your door hardware.

  • Clear Communication We inspect the depth of the blockage and provide a transparent quote before attempting the extraction process.

  • Professional Equipment Our kits include spiral extractors and sawtooth tools specifically designed to catch key brass without damaging the delicate cylinder walls.

  • Reliable Results We test the lock with a spare key after extraction to ensure the tumbler pins move freely and the mechanism is fully functional.

  • Expert Support If you do not have a spare, we can often decode the lock or use the broken fragments to generate a new working key on-site.

FAQ'S

Answers to Your Broken Key Extraction Questions

1. Can you remove the broken key without changing the lock?

Yes. Our primary goal is to extract the fragment and save your existing lock. In the vast majority of cases, we can remove the obstruction without damaging the cylinder, allowing you to continue using your current lock hardware and keys.
Often, yes. If you have both parts of the broken key, our technicians can usually “decode” the cuts or trace the two halves to generate a brand-new, working duplicate on-site. This saves you the hassle of rekeying the entire door.
Using superglue is a common DIY mistake that almost always ruins the lock. The glue can easily seep into the pins and springs, permanently seizing the mechanism. Once a lock is glued, it typically cannot be repaired and must be drilled out and replaced.
Keys often break due to metal fatigue from age (cracks developing over time) or because the lock mechanism is stiff and requires force to turn. If you have to jiggle or force your key, the lock likely needs lubrication or service before another key snaps.
It is usually a quick process. For a standard residential cylinder, a skilled technician can extract a broken key fragment in 10 to 20 minutes, provided the lock hasn’t been damaged by previous extraction attempts.
