When your key snaps inside the lock
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Key Snapped Deep Inside - Nothing to Grab
The broken piece is flush with the lock or pushed inside where you can't reach it. Pliers and tweezers won't work. We use thin, hooked tools designed to slide past the fragment and pull it out.
You Tried to Pull It Out and Made It Worse
Tweezers, superglue, or a second key often push the piece deeper. Don't worry - we deal with this all the time. We can still get it out even after a failed DIY attempt.
Key Broke in Your Car Ignition
Now you can't start your car or remove the fragment. We use ultra-thin tools made for ignition cylinders to get the piece out without affecting your car's electrical system.
Door Is Stuck - Can't Lock or Unlock It
With half a key jammed in there, the door won't budge either way. You can't secure your home and you can't get in. We remove the obstruction so the lock works normally again.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Save Your Lock - Don't Replace It
A broken key doesn't mean a broken lock. Professional extraction saves your existing hardware, which means you don't pay for a whole new lock when only the key failed.
DIY Attempts Usually Make It Worse
Tweezers push fragments deeper. Superglue bonds to the cylinder. A second key jams everything. We have purpose-built tools that actually work without causing more damage.
You Get a New Key Before We Leave
Extraction alone doesn't solve your problem - you still need a working key. We cut one on site so you're completely back to normal in a single visit.
We Find Out Why It Broke
If your lock is stiff or dry, it puts extra stress on keys and they snap. We identify the cause and can lubricate or adjust the lock so your new key lasts longer.
Key Broke Off in Your Lock? Here's What to Do
When a key snaps inside a lock, you're stuck - you can't lock the door and you can't unlock it. Pliers won't reach, and forcing another key in makes things worse. Kwikey Locksmith removes broken key fragments from door locks, car ignitions, and mailboxes across Delaware and nearby Pennsylvania. We get the piece out, cut you a new key, and have you back to normal in one visit.
Why DIY Extraction Usually Backfires
Most people try tweezers, superglue on a wire, or jamming a second key in next to the broken piece. These methods almost always push the fragment deeper into the lock or damage the internal parts. Our extraction tools are specifically designed to hook behind the broken piece and slide it out without scratching or jamming anything else inside the cylinder.
New Key Cut On Site - One Visit, Fully Solved
Removing the broken piece is only half the job. You still need a key that works. We carry key-cutting equipment in our service vehicle and can make you a fresh key right there - either by reading the broken pieces or pulling the code from your lock. You're not left waiting for a hardware store trip or a second appointment.

Frequently asked in Frazer
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Describe the symptoms and we'll work it out on the phone. Plenty of Frazer callers aren't sure whether they need a repair or a replacement, and that's what the call is for.
What does broken key extraction cost in Frazer?
It depends on the specifics, which is why we quote before starting rather than after finishing. Describe the job on the phone and you'll get a firm number to approve or decline.
What payment methods do you accept in Frazer?
The technician can take payment on completion by the usual methods. Payment is due once the work is finished and you're satisfied, not up front.
Do you cover Frazer, PA?
Yes. Frazer is inside our standard Chester County service area, so broken key extraction here is routine dispatch rather than a special trip. Call (302) 551-2550 to confirm timing for your address.
Will the job be finished in one visit?
Usually, yes. Vans heading to Frazer carry the common hardware and tooling, so most jobs complete on the first trip rather than needing a parts run.

Broken Key Extraction FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Should I try to pull the broken piece out myself?
We'd recommend against it. Tweezers and pliers usually push the fragment deeper or scratch the inside of the lock. If it's sticking out enough to grab with your fingers, you can try - but if it's flush or deeper, call us.
Will my lock still work after you remove the piece?
In most cases, yes. The lock itself is usually fine - it's just blocked by the fragment. Once we remove it and clean out any shavings, it should work like normal.
Can you make me a new key if the old one broke in half?
Yes. We can use the broken pieces to figure out the correct cuts, or we can read the code directly from your lock. Either way, you get a working key before we leave.
Why did my key break in the first place?
Usually it's metal fatigue from years of use, or a lock that's gotten stiff and needs lubrication. When you have to force or wiggle the key, that stress adds up until it snaps.
What if the key broke in my car ignition?
We handle that too. Car ignitions need thinner, more delicate tools than door locks, but the process is similar. We remove the piece without affecting your car's electrical system.
Key broke off in your lock?
Tell us where the key broke - front door, back door, car ignition, or mailbox. We'll confirm availability and send a specialist to extract the broken piece without damaging your lock.
